Thirty years ago, we lost someone special.

Was he really only 40 years old? It was a loss for everyone but I'm sure the under-30 crowd does not understand.

There is a commercial for Beatles music, now for iTunes, and it says, "The Beatles, they changed the world."

As a young girl, I knew that was true.

"We were all on this ship in the sixties, our generation, a ship going to discover the New World. And the Beatles were in the crow's nest of that ship."

John Lennon (1940-1980)

May he rest in peace...

Last Day at Shea Stadium

Yes, today was the last day. 

Shea is now closed and the new stadium, Citi Field, will open next season.

I saw the Beatles at Shea Stadium back in 1965. 

I was one of those screaming young girls who couldn't hear them sing or even see them from the seats way up top. I knew it was them. My friend had binoculars.

Everyone was screaming. We LOVED the Beatles.

I'll always remember Shea and the time.....
