Stuart Sutcliffe
George Martin
Neil Aspinall
Mal Evans
Jimmy Nichol (Nominee, Best Supporting Beatle)
Andy White (Ditto)
Murray the "K"
Brian Epstein

Eric Clapton (Best Supporting)
Beatle Inspirations
And the nominees are:
Chuck Berry
Buddy Holly
Little Richard
Yoko Ono
Jane Asher
Linda Eastman McCartney
Patti Boyd/Harrison/Clapton (About whom John Lennon once said, "everyone who meets her writes a song about her." To wit: I Need You, Something, etc. (George); "Birthday," (Lennon/McCartney); "Layla," "Bell Bottom Blues," Wonderful Tonight," and God knows what else (Clapton).
WANNABEATLES
And the nominees are:
Todd Rundgren (DUUUUH)
Jeff Lynne (DOUBLE DUUUUUUUH)
Tears for Fears
Jet (But just that one song they're playing on the radio now)
The Turtles (Extra large DOUBLE DUUUUUUUH with fudge and rainbow sprinkles)
The Rutles (Couldn't resist!)
TIME TESTED TO BE BETTER THAN THE BEATLES
As usual there are no nominees here.
(This post brought to you by the fact that I was listening to the "A Hard Day's Night" album this morning and my GOD those guys could write. And play. And sing. Even if the album does have the song "When I Get Home," which may be the single worst piece of shit they ever produced.)
------
Send up some energy for some ailing compadres of mine: Tom Pettijohn and Renee Rivers. Y'all get better now, y'hear?
------
Played to a VERY small but appreciative audience at the Trunk Space the other night. Why there weren't more people after all the fliers I distributed, I dunno. Maybe it's the fact that while downtown is trying to take itself back from the homeless and the hooked, it's still got some time to go before respectable people venture down there at night. Or maybe nobody saw the fliers.
Regardless, it was fun.
Afterwards, we joined the proprietors of the Trunk Space at a SOUL food restaurant (You have to say it like that; SOUL food!) called LoLos in South Phoenix. Where every dish on the menu comes with a waffle. Really. And where they serve up a bowl of grits that just screams, "FUCK MY HEALTH! I'M DIGGING IN!" I swear they melted half a stick of butter on the stuff and it was HEAVENLY.
The best part is, while it is in a "rough" part of town, it's open until 2 in the morning. Name any other privately owned restaurant that'll do that.

I thought EVERYBODY knew Wonder Woman had an invisible plane. I found out to the contrary yesterday that a good number of people don't. For God's sake, what are they teaching in our schools?

Well, *I* knew about Wonder Woman's plane, but that's something you'd expect even if we were all hit with amnesia rays. But I don't expect other people to know it, just fellow comic geeks.
And didn't the Beatles actually offer to make Billy Preston an official Beatle?
