I grew up in NYC and once when I was on the Madison avenue bus circa 1975, I saw John and Yoko crossing 86th street. They looked exactly like, well, John and Yoko. I was in college when John was shot, miserable & with major roomie problems...we all listened to Beatles music for about 3 days on the radio. Of course I had been playing Rubber Soul all the time anyway, which along with Revolver is my fave Beatles album.
Mauvais, have a wonderful trip! We are going to miss you for sure though...
