I remember when Larry asked Ringo if he saw Paul and George at John's
funeral. I wonder what dumb questions he's going to ask them all.

Paying to download inferior quality sound? How silly.

I'd prefer that the implied announcement was about properly re-mastered
(which we know has happened) real albums being issued in a known
high-fidelity medium.

And "Let it Be" movie.

Since King once had Chapman as a guest, maybe he'll introduce MDC to

This post is true but needs qualifying. Paul McCartney only agreed if
a pre-recorded segment is aired at the top of the show so that he
isn't thrown into the mix live(because of memory lapses or lack of
curry in his diet)

I seriously think he's getting senile. On the other hand, King
enabled Yoko to make a complete fool of herself - without even singing
- when she was on his show several years ago. So this upcoming show
could be good.

I posted this on this group in 2004, but it's worth repeating:

TOP TEN LARRY KING BONEHEAD MOMENTS REGARDING THE BEATLES

To Julian Lennon: "So how come you don't look Japanese when Yoko was
your mom?"

To Ringo Starr: "Did you see Paul and George at John's funeral?"

To Paul McCartney: "Did you write any of the hits for the Beatles?"

To Heather Mills: "We all read accounts of your marriage ceremony to
Paul, I was wondering why John Lennon wasn't there?"

To Julian Lennon: "Have you become friends with Mark David Chapman
over the years?"


To Paul McCartney: "When the Beatles came on Ed Sullivan, were you
part of the group then?"


To Cynthia Lennon: "Why didn't you marry Paul or Ringo after John
divorced you?"


To Ringo Starr: "What was it like working with Mick Jagger all those
years as the frontman of the group?"


To Heather Mills: "So was Linda dead when you started dating Sir Paul
or was she alive?


To Paul McCartney: "What's the real reason why you don't collaborate
or write songs anymore with Lennon?"

Oh, yes, thanks.

Sold Out is a relative term, I've learned.


I travel to Vegas each January on business.
Sometimes I go alone, which is how I learned
you can usually get excellent seating,
even at "sold out" performances.

I'm not talking about stand-by arrangements either.
I'm saying if you just want one seat, you can waltz
in shortly before the show and get a good seat, because
mosts seats are sold in 2's, 3's 4's etc., so there
are often orphaned seats right in the middle of these groups.

The year before at a sold out Leno appearance on a Fri night,
I got the front, center seat a couple of hours before the show.


Regarding LOVE, the performance was very nice,
but for me the best part was hearing the music
in superior sonic clarity for the first time.

One thing I really liked was that the start of
Come Together had just John's singing and Ringo's drumming.
I'd love to hear a mix of that where this is done
all the way to the bridge, or even till the outro,
much like the stark mix of Because where the full
familiar mix blends in towards the end.

I didn't hear all of the Larry King remarks, so I can't vouch for the
authenticity of them all. The John funeral remark I haeard, as well
the two Julian Lennonr emarks. I've heard people at Beatles
conventions *swear* these are all accurate. I picked the list up at a
Beatles convention and several people there (independent of one
another) all swore these statements were actually made by Larry King.

I admit, a couple seem dubious, but the guy is a senile moron. I put
nothing past him!

few, actually." I also heard King ask Heather why John wasn't at their

You know, not to be morbid or anything...but McCartney's latest CD

I remember hearing that he does that on purpose, that he doesn't WANT to

it makes his interviews more 'accessible' or some nonsense like that.

I didn't see Larry King's interview with Brando. What stupid questions
did he ask him? That would be interesting.

I did see the Brian Wilson interview and had to turn away from
embarrassment. Brian had his wife with him for moral support and to
help him remember things. I turned the TV off when Larry asked, "Do
you have brothers still alive and if so, do you sing with them?" It
was pure agony!! At least Brian didn't seem to have a clue that it
cringe-worthy.

When Larry King asked Heather is John was at her wedding to Paul, she
just said, "No," without any elaboration.

A British tabloid claimed that at Paul and Heather's wedding
reception, Ringo came up and embraced Paul and said emotionally, "Pity
John couldn't be here," to which Heather supposedly replied, "John
who?" Now I know this quote comes from a Brit tabloid, but I really
can see this woman saying something that stupid.

Here's a partial transcript from the interview April 2006 (I
think):

Among other things, Brando discussed Jewish "influence" in Hollywood.
I think King is Jewish, and Marlon felt very comfortable. He felt like
he was talking to a friend at a bar IMO.

I didn't see the show, but I read that in his introduction to the
show, King told the audience that Brando had asked to appear to
discuss the videotaped beating of two Mexican workers by Riverside
County sheriff's deputies. He was also on the air to discuss racism
and violence in Hollywood.

"Larry King: ...Our guest is Marlon Brando. We will be including your
calls in a little while. Two other areas we want to discuss. I know
you have been an admirer of Judaism, right?...And you told-and we have
discussed this off the air as well-that you've always admired the
culture-the Jewish culture.

Marlon Brando: Oh, the Jews are amazing people. They are truly
amazing. I think that per capita, people generally don't realize that
per capita that Jews have contributed more to American-the best of
American culture than any other single group. If it weren't for the
Jews we wouldn't have art, we wouldn't have much theater. We wouldn't
have, oddly enough, Broadway-and Tin Pan Alley-and all the standards
that were written by Jews-all the-the songs that you love to sing. You
remember-

King: Yeah, we sang them.

Brando:-when we sat around and sang all those songs.

King: So you're very affectionate for-right? Well, you-you've hung
around with many-

Brando: The Jews-the secret of the Jews is their worship for the word
sechel. That doesn't mean that they are superior people it just means
that they are culturally advantaged in the same way that the Chinese
and Japanese are.

King: But they're not better than that Mexican across the line-

Brando: Of course-of course not.

King: -or that Black in Mississippi.

Brando: Absolutely not. As a matter of fact you find an extraordinary
contrast between the Jews that left Israel and the-who-

King: You mean who left Europe?

Brando: No, they left Israel and left behind the Sephardic Jews and
when they came back-not the-you know, the-you know, the-what is the
name of the group of Jews that came back?

King: Levis?

Brando: No, no, no. There was the-the [unintelligible] the split in
Europe.

King: All right.

Brando: But the Jews that left Israel were called the-

King: I forget.

Brando: Okay.

King: The gist of it is?

Brando: The gist of it is, when they came back, they got in dutch with
the Sephardic Jews, who never had any trouble with anybody, they lived
there with the Arabs, they were perfectly happy living there with the
Arabs for thousands, 1,300 years or so-

King: So there is a lot about modern Judaism you don't like?

Brando: Oh, it has nothing to do with that. It has nothing to do with
that. We're talking about the Jews just in general-

King: But in this-in this-

Brando: But their regard for knowledge, their regard for information.
They saved all of their money in the days when they were pressured-
pressured in Europe and the days when they had pogroms and the days
when they-see, you are rushing me, I can't-I can't think-

King: I'm not rushing you.

Brando: But you are pointing your finger at me like this. It's very-
it's battery to do that.

King: Ha, ha, ha. No, I'm trying to focus in on-because I know you are
a great admirer, yet, at the same time, you feel badly about what
Hollywood has [crosstalk]

Brando: Feel bad-badly is-you can't say badly. You feel bad. Okay, I'm-
I'm slightly rattled here, because I'm having trouble-

King: I don't mean to rattle you.

Brando: No, it's not that. It's the time and the pressure and the
nature of this-the nature of these circumstances.

King: Let me get a break and we will [crosstalk]...

King: You told me you are sending your children to Jewish schools?

Brando: Yeah, my kids go to a Jewish school.

King: Because?

Brando: Because I think that the Jewish schools, one, are the safest
and the best.

King: You are also critical, though, are you not, of many of the
Jewish people who run a lot of important studios in Hollywood and who
you feel-

Brando: Yes. Generally-you-

King: -do violent films.

Brando: You have to understand something: that generally people do not
understand that people who hate Black people, the people who hate
Jews, the people who hate anybody who is not free, white and 21 and
Protestant, are carrying around in their children, are carrying around
in their bodies, and have had visited on their children, this
extraordinary magic that was created by a Jew-called the-the uh-the
Salk vaccine, which prevents polio.

King: So?

Brando: It's just a matter of just ordinary things. And if they knew
that would they refuse to have the Salk vaccine?

King: Oh, if they knew that a Jew had invented it? They knew a Jew
invented it.

Brando: Of course. And there has been a lot of anti-Jewish feeling,
which is-is-you have to understand that Max-people like Max
Youngstein, who was head of United Artists-founded, or was a financial
backer of SNCC, which was a very militant Black group...

King: Are you-are you critical-

Brando: That's-

King:-of the Hollywood that makes violent movies?

Brando: I think that-I-am very angry with some of the Jews. I am very
goddamned angry-

King: At some of the Jews?

Brando: -at some of the Jews who have known-who have suffered terribly
at the hands of the Russians, of the Germans and the Poles and all of
the anti-Semitic elements in Europe and it was a godsend to come to
America where they could be free-and they could-they could do whatever
they wanted.

King: Then what are you angry at?

Brando: And then Sam Goldwyn and all of the rest of them. Metro
Goldwyn Mayer, they-Hollywood is run by Jews. It is owned by Jews-and
they should have a greater sensitivity about the issue of-of people
who are suffering. Because they've exploited-we have seen the-we have
seen the [deleted] and greaseball, we've seen the Chink, we've seen
the slit-eyed dangerous Jap, we have seen the wily Filipino, we've
seen everything but we never saw the kike. Because they knew perfectly
well, that that is where you draw the-wagons around-

King: When you 7¹when you say something like that you are playing
right in, though, to anti-Semitic people who say the Jews are-

Brando: No, no, because I will be the first one who will appraise the
Jews honestly and say "Thank God for the Jews." If it weren't for the
Jews, we wouldn't have any-

King: All right. But they anger you when they pander-

Brando: Yes.

King: Or they make films that-

Brando: They don't anger me. That's the nature of human beings. That
is the nature of human beings. I would like that they were more
sensitive. And through the years, I think we've gained a certain
sensitivity here in Hollywood-"here in Hollywood"-as though I-I am not
a standing-welcome member of the community here, but, nevertheless I
feel that we-we have now sensitized so that we can't treat Blacks that
way-because Blacks are not going to stand for it. These people-if you
see these people down in front of the federal building-the brown
people, they are not going to stand for it...

King: There is a good friend of mine that Marlon wants to discuss a
second before we take calls and that is Lew Wasserman, the Chairman
Emeritus of Universal.

Brando: Yeah, I wanted to say that I was on a picture that I thought
was funnier than hell-it turned out to not make very much money-it was
me and David Niven trying to be funny. But he made me scream. However,
they had a scene-it was in the '80s. And I said "How come there are no
Black people in this film?" And no-there was just pure white people.
Anyway, I said-I said, "I can't-I can't do it, if you are not going to
hire any Black people I am not going to be in the scene." And he said,
"Marlon, come on, it's not that kind of a picture." I said, "What kind
of a picture?" What kind of a picture is it that you have to have to
show Black people, to show Brown people, to show yellow-so I said,
"You have to cut me out, I'm walking out of the picture." I went to Lew
-Lew Wasserman's office and I said, "Lewand he doesn't like publicity
and forgive me Lew if I am embarrassing you, but the fact is that I
went to his office and said, "Lew-" and he was-Lew Wasserman is Mr.
Hollywood. He is the head of Universal, and he is an extraordinary
man, he came from-well, never mind him-

King: Poverty. And he what?

Brando: Worked his way up to be a big macha as they say in Yiddish.
And he said, "Marlon, do me a favor," he says. "Go back to work," and
he said, "I promise you-," it touches me even now because he did it.

King: What did he say?

Brando: He said, "Marlon, if you go back to work, I promise you we
will settle this thing." And he got everybody by the lapels, and he
says "Hey-" he got all the big machas-that's Jewish for big shots, and
he got all the Jews and he said, "Listen, this is going to be the way
it has to be." He was the Godfather. And-

King: We're back with Marlon Brando. He does want to clear up that his
criticism of Jewish people who are in positions of power in Hollywood
-

Brando: I don't want to clear it up. No, I think-

King: You don't want people to think that you're-

Brando: No, the Jews have-they understand, they know perfectly well,
what their responsibilities are and more and more you see among
younger Jews a sense-I mean we wouldn't have the extraordinary films
that come out of Hollywood that are so sensitive really-these are the
old time Jews-that ran Hollywood. I think more and more that you see
that. However, all those old films like John Wayne and Charlton Heston
and all of those Indian killers, they killed-they did more harm to the
American Indians than Custer did.

King: They didn't know, though, did they?

Brando: They-knew very well...

King: So what's the perspective?

Brando: So my-my-as far as the Jews are concerned-in the early days
when I was supporting the [unintelligible] they blew up the King David
Hotel, they killed an awful lot of Englishmen, some Arabs and also
some Jews. They-

King: They were persecuted.

Brando: Of course, coming off that you-

King: By the way-

Brando: -you would do the same thing.

King: -you look terrific. Thank you my friend.

Brando: Thank you. So do you."

Well, in all fairness, John is a very common name. Heather might have
thought that someone named John simply wasn't able to make it to the
wedding. The tabloid may have also exaggerated when reporting that
Ringo said this "emotionally".

I could be wrong, but I think Sullivan was a lot more shrewd than King.
I don't know anything about LK (don't really want to), but he strikes me
as the product of a lot of lucky, timely circumstances. That right
place, right time kind of success. Whereas Sullivan strikes me more as a
personally odious and socially inept, but professionally very savvy
manipulator. He got off the plane at Heathrow and saw the crowds and
*found out* who the Beatles were and went and got them. I can't see King
being that alert or open to discovery. He seems like the type of guy
that needs a team behind him to tell him what's hot and what's not.

Reminds me of the old Murray The K joke:

A boy and a girl are on a date.

The boys says to the girl, "Do you believe in the hereafter?"

She says, "I'm not really sure".

He says, "Well, if you're not here after what I'm here after, you're

I think that if two surviving Beatles are at a wedding and one says,
"Pity John couldn't be here," the unbelievably strong inference is
that they mean John Lennon, as Ringo clearly meant. For Heather to say
"John who?" shows yet again her stupendous cluelessness.

Yes, John is a common name, but among Beatles, there's only one John.

Of course they do, but that's not the point.

Ringo embraces Paul at Paul's wedding and says with emotion, "Too bad
John isn't here."

Who on earth possibly believes that Ringo was referring to John Doe or
some other John? It's blatantly obvious he meant John Lennon. That's
the whole point of the story!

If Ringo had said, "Too bad John and George couldn't be here" I'm sure
someone will pla Devils Advocate and say, "John and George are common
names, he could have meant someone else." Had Ringo said, "Too bad
John Winston Ono Lennon and George Harrison couldn't have been here"
someone inevitably will claim, "Oh, there are plenty of John Winston
Lennon's and George Harrison's running around, you can't prove he
meant the two ex-Beatles."

It's obvious to you because you just think of them as THE BEATLES, not as
human beings with lives of their own.

Do you think that every time Linda mentioned her brother to Paul, she should
have said "John Eastman, my brother," because otherwise Paul would have
gotten confused? After all, he was a Beatle, so everyone should know that to
him, "John" means "John Lennon."

> If Ringo had said, "Too bad John and George couldn't be here"

But he didn't.

>Had Ringo said, "Too bad John Winston Ono Lennon and George Harrison
>couldn't have been here"

But he didn't.

In fact, the whole story sounds somewhat apocryphal, kind of like that list
of Larry King "quotes," half of which have him asking about John Lennon's
death at inappropriate times and the other half has him unaware that John
Lennon is dead.
