Come together.
It was our parents who introduced
us to the Beatles.
That's right. They won a copy
of Beatles 65 in a raffle
and I still have that copy.
I have very fond memories
of our early years in New York.
Every Sunday we would go as a family
to the record department of Corvettes
and buy albums.
Remember Corvettes?
Remember when department stores
had record departments?
Remember records?
I remember the exact Sunday
we bought the Beatles' Revolver album.
And our first pairs of bell -bottoms
and love beads.
We raced home and we put on those
hippie threads,
and I think we must have
played Taxman 50 times.
And it was that night
that you decided
you wanted to be the fifth Beatle.
I, on the other hand,
would never sing in front of anyone.
But in the privacy of my bedroom,
with my hairbrush as my microphone,
I would sing at the top of my lungs
to all my favorite records.
I liked Broadway,
I liked the Beach Boys,
and I liked Burt Bacharach.
Thank Thank Thank you. you.
