When I first read Sgt. Jokers post, when he said "OP SHOP" I was thinking, "Opium shops? Go ask the CR thread".

[QUOTE=Sgt._Joker]lol^. Does any one know what sort of shops e.g "Op Shops" (dont give me specific shops unless they are in sydeny) that sell John Lennon Style glasses {his circular sort} (preferably yellow tinted) ?????[/QUOTE]
I've been looking for glasses like that to but i rather have red tinted ones.

I wear the round glasses fitted prescription for driving. Got them at least twenty years ago at an optician's here in the states. Recently I got new prescriptions. Could not find the rounds anywhere, so my wife talked me into a pair that were kind of oval-ish. Just not me...I ended up going back with my worn out rounds, had the doc clean 'em up and order the new lenses to go in them. It's a pisser when people say, 'What are those? Harry Potter glasses?' But I know better.

Keep checking... that style's got to come back sooner or later in eyewear....

[QUOTE=John Lennon]I`m not paying top $ this time around unless it`s up real close. Paul is a bazillionaire and besides, I saw him twice in `02. One was in Cleveland, one of the highlights of that trip was the RRHOF, they had a Lennon section. Stuff like his glasses here wore on 12/8/80 and his Sgt.Pepper jacket, which I touched when the guard was not looking...I made the connection. :D[/QUOTE]

Yep, I went to the hall of fame in June 01, and it was the most life altering experience of my life (positive experience that is). The Lennon exhibit just ****ing blew my mind. I wanted to be a rock star after leaving that place.

Sgt._Joker 04-25-2005 05:02 AM

I've wanted to be a rockstar since i saw Liam Gallagher sing on stage, /unrelated to beatles.

I'm going to abbey road!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sgt._Joker 04-26-2005 02:35 AM

this thread has become a "Tell the world about the tickets you have, or bitch about the tickets you dont have"

bcf717 04-26-2005 06:02 PM

Well, I'm gonna piss youse all off, 'cause I'm gonna brag. I caught one his first solo tours in Philly at the now-defunct Veterans Stadium back in 76 when I was in college. ( College was cool back then as a lot of up-and-commers played universities. Our college hosted Billy Joel on campus before he really made it big.) In 1992 I photographed his show back in Philly from on stage ( I work as a newspaper photographer). This ticked my wife off so much I ended up getting tickets for her and me at Madison Square during the same tour. His last tour, we caught at the Meadowlands in North Jersey. When it was announced that Atlantic City would be included in the tour, I bought three tickets -- for me, my wife and son, who was ten at the time. I ended up photographing that show as well, but after shooting and sending the pictures, I was able to store my gear in the convention center press office and use my ticket to join my family for the rest of the show. OK, I will accept the hate mail, now. :)

Unfortuently I'll be one of the ones bitching.

You know it may just be me, but when I first started posting in the Beatles thread there was a lot of good Beatles conversation going on so here's my attempt the bring that back for a while:

Since the Beatles songs have so many different meanings to everybody what you do is you post a song then the people in the thread write their interpitation of the song and at the bottom of the post give another Beatles song for sombody else to interpit (yeah I'm making it pretty obvouis I can't spell with this post). Hopefully this will bring back some of the good conversations that used to be in here.

Oh yeah: interpret Fool on the Hill :)

(sorry if this was a bad idea, just hoping to start up some conversation)

xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx 04-26-2005 08:40 PM

Tickets went on school Monday here at 10:00 while I was in school in 2nd period. :upset: They were sold out by 5th period.

Fool on the Hill-I heard some story about the guys seeing some beggar or something on a hill, but I don't remember the story...It's one of my favorite songs. I think it's just about someone who knows more than people give him credit for. I would write more, but I have to leave...

Across the Universe, (or someone else can post something better about Fool on the Hill cause mine sucks)

/is going to play to a somewhat large audience for first time in talent show on Thursday :D

BlackDeathMetalJazz or really ANYTHING else please- 04-26-2005 08:44 PM

I got my tickets on Friday (before everyone else) it cost a total of 98 dollars on the 4th row.....!!!! :D How can I not brag?

blue3 04-26-2005 08:47 PM

You've said that you got tickets in a lot of threads.

:(

I'm jealous. I'll be one of the ones bitching about not getting tickets

BlackDeathMetalJazz or really ANYTHING else please- 04-26-2005 08:50 PM

To reply to that^

To me Fool on the Hill is about a man who is in touch with his inner self, and has the answears to peace, but everybody just ingnores him because he is talking about revolution.

Across the Universe is about sombody who finds himself though song writting, though in fustration with the world wishs to fly among the stars away from it all.

Song: I am the Walrus.

clown_phobia 04-26-2005 09:22 PM

Goo Goo GaJoob!

BlackDeathMetalJazz or really ANYTHING else please- 04-26-2005 09:23 PM

I Am the Walrus: About smoking bud? I really have no clue and I don't even think Lennon could've told you that.
