Who is your favorite Beatle?

While the rest of the world was getting down and egtting high, I was dressing up and singing Cunegonde's aria from Candide "Glitter and be Gay".
I think I missed a lot :(

Maybe, Bud, but while I was getting down and getting high, I was reading Candide in French. And going to classical concerts. But I learned all them Beatle songs long before I got high, when I was still a child.
And it's not too late if you don't want it to be. Or it can be too late, and that's okay. My German stepmother likes to say that the hardest part about living in America is all the choices we have here.

I just realized it sounded like I was implying that The Beatles and Candide are American! :laugh:
Update: wait - you meant the Bernstein didn't you? In which case, of course, it was American, and Leonard Bernstein, ain't no one cooler than he was, and he got stoned plenty, according to biographies I've read. :) So you didn't miss nothing. And don't go getting stoned, Mister. Sore throats and raspy voices. And there's a reason they call it "wasted." I haven't smoked dope since way back in the last century, 1987. May 1987. :) Well, I prattled on, din' I? :)

Me too!
Depends on your age, I think. If I'd been a little older, I would have been getting high and hearing the Beatles for the first time simultaneously.

Oh hell I can't get high anymore. I would be asleep before I exhaled. Of course I am aware of the Beatles music and have heard plenty of it, but usually not by choice. Having had the immense pleasure of meeting and working with Mr. Bernstein, I can tell you first hand...the man was incorrigible. Outrageously talented, but incorrigible.

Wow, Scott! Tell me about working with Leonard Bernstein? How so, incorrigible? What did you work with him on? Where?
