But in early drafts, it was McCartney.

T.I.& Delta, thank you. I listened to The Word, yesterday. Delta, I agree completely. It sounds to me as if they're all agreeing on what the word will do for you, & John is explaining HOW. They are the followers & John is the Guru. I still think that it's about Orange Sunshine, & what it did for them. John probably said it was inspired by Marijuana, as that was just easier for him to say. The word is love, inspired by Orange Sunshine. IMHO of course  |

Not quite sure what Apollo means to say but, I liked these parts... Is all our Life, then but a dream Seen faintly in the goldern gleam Athwart Time`s dark resistless stream? Bowed to the earth with bitter woe Or laughing at some raree-show We flutter idly to and fro.Man`s little Day in haste we spend, And, from its merry noontide, send No glance to meet the silent end. and... I have said `passages,` rather than single texts, because we have no means of recalling single texts: memory needs links, and here are none: one may have a hundred texts stored in the memory, and not be able to recall, at will, more than half-a-dozen--and those by mere chance: whereas, once get hold of any portion of a chapter that has been committed to memory, and the whole can be recovered: all hangs together. |

What's with the wig Maritza was wearing ? It looks so FAKE. It seems that they really weren't trying very hard to make her believable as Sylvie  |

I can't really believe Paul was sent into outer space! Isn't that really a bit unbelievable? Maybe we will have Paul spottings along with Elvis ones? Actually, I say Elvis and Paul are swinging on a star  I wish it were true that Paul was alive and doing something else, but it's not. And all this rigamorole about Sylvie fantastic. She was nothing more than a short fling. And since she was the star in France, he was probably just a fling for her, too. All was supposed to be a brief affair and each get on with their lives. I think Sylvie died and when Paul went to see her, he discovered the imposter and it freaked him out......and the rest is the mystery we are trying to figure out. Paul was probably killed to keep him quiet about Fylvie and it was convenient for those who were freaking because he wanted OUT of the Beatles. In a sense, it "killed two birds with one stone", as the old saying goes. |

I dunno, paul seems rather large there!
General consencus seems to say Paul is small, yet he looks as though (as he is further away than the others) if he was level with the others, he would look at least as big in that pic.

you can't see his feet (or the ground level) under the water. He reflexively pushed himself up when a camera was snapping.

PB is right. She may have been many guys ideal woman....maybe too many. However, she is dead and you know have Fylvie.
I think Sylvie told Halliday she was pregnant and she didn't really know who the father was but claimed JPM because he was well known and Halliday flew into a rage and killed her and then went loooking for JPM>

Not really... but Sylvie's nephew lost his leading-man gig on the ABC series Alias: www.realitytvworld.com/index/articles/story.php?s=1004851--------------- Actor Michael Vartan's character was killed off in the season premiere of "Alias," but he'll soon be reunited former co-star Bradley Cooper. Fans of the handsome spy were dismayed when Michael Vaughn was revealed not to really be Michael Vaughn, then took a hail of bullets, thus ending Vartan's popular run on the ABC spy series. Fox TV says Vartan will reunite with Cooper in an upcoming episode of its new sitcom "Kitchen Confidential," TVGuide.com reported Friday. Vartan will play a womanizing French chef who is a rival to Jack, the chef played by Cooper. |

Johnny Hallyday has a new album, "Ma Verite" -- "My Truth."
Hmmm.
I was just watching the Nov. 7 evening news from France where they interviewed him; no mention of Sylvie, but they did mention his son David.

Michael Vartan's character, Michael Vaughn, is back from the dead next week on "Alias." How great would it be if it turned out this "Vaughn" was a double?!
(I'm also hoping something alluding to PID happens ont he producer's other show "Lost" where one fo the castaways is a bass-playing rockstar with Strawberry Fields lyrics tatooed on his shoulder...)

From www.imdb.com/name/nm0890232/bioMini biography Michael Vartan was born on 27th November 1968 in France, the only child of a French father and an American mother who got divorced when he was only five. He spent his childhood shuttling between France (where his father, a musician lived) and the U.S (where his mother lived). At the age of eighteen, after deciding against joining the French military service (mandatory for all males above 18 in France) Michael shifted to the States. (snip) Nephew of Sylvie Vartan. Cousin of French singer David Hallyday... He's had an interesting life! |

Sylvie & Eddy Vartan defected form Bulgaria to France in the early 50s when they were a child brother-sister act... a Cold War Sound of Music type thing. She'd been playing Spy vs Spy from a very young age... in retrospect she was perfect to have gotten involved in all John & Paul's little plans and schemes...

Sylvie & Eddy Vartan defected form Bulgaria to France in the early 50s when they were a child brother-sister act... a Cold War Sound of Music type thing. She'd been playing Spy vs Spy from a very young age... in retrospect she was perfect to have gotten involved in all John & Paul's little plans and schemes... That's a very provocative lead, TI. Thanks. So, she'd have had "special friends" helping her and her bro from an early age...... Hmmmm. I wonder, did she ever have trouble or incidences with Bulgarian officials or their intelligence people? That's an East-West thing as per it being the 50's-60's.....and if JP got in the middle of a maelstrom involving Sylvie's defector status.......hmmm......... I hea the Mission Impossible Theme cranking up........a series whose episodes often seemed to take place in an unnamed central european/slavic nation with people who speak English in a non-specific "slavic" accent. So, then, perhaps Sylvie was a Western asset. Or, IS an asset........somewhere else in the world...with a new name.identity. After all, she may have been replaced, NOT died. We've all seen the movie. Any of many movies about espionage. The attractive blonde bombshell dresses up all frumpy in a lumpy coat, a bad wig, huge sunglasses, and slips into a wooded grotto in a quiet, unassuming park somewhere in a big city, and waits nervously for a couple of middle aged guys in beige trench coats and sunglasses to "rendez-vous" with her, tin order to give her a message from Spy Central and a map directing her how to meet with her lover/husband, whose also lurks about in woody parks (or deserted factories on the edge of town) and has a million disguises. If course, right on cue, the "bad guys" show up (how do they always know where to find the protagonists?) in a windowless van or a blue 5-year-old Crown Victoria, trading off rounds with the Trenchcoats, and making sounds of squealing tires. We see hapless, terrified bystanders run screaming in all directions. It would be comedy if it weren't so serious. The girl is seriously shot but makes it to the hospital, where she has just enough strength left in her body from those 37 shots she took to breathily tell the good guy agents the idenities of her sinister persuers from De' Old Country....... ........In breathy Croat that nobody understands. Until five minutes before the end of the movie, when some brilliant up and coming lady detective, who happens to speak a little Serbo-Croation (dissolve to back-story showing the brilliant lady as a young girl learning Croat on her grande-mama's knee)solves the riddle, and triumphantly helps the Trenchcoats to locate the two Croat ex-Patriots who are after her-------only to find their old blue Crown Victoria at the bottom of "a" harbor riddled with bullets, but fortunately the name of the Ultimate Culprit is written in blood on the dashboard of the car----etc etc....you know the kind of film I mean........the one with the sleazy porno-funk musical score, and the decrepit, faded filmprint quality.......... |

Taken from: www.iamthebeatles.com/article1004.htmlCan't Buy Me LoveWhile The Beatles were in Paris in January 1964 during their 18-day concert tour at the Olympia Theatre, Paul wrote this song. Lennon and McCartney had just finished writing a song titled "One And One Is Two," for Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas, and The Beatles needed a song quickly to follow the success of "I Want To Hold Your Hand, " in America. George Martin said that it should be upbeat and suggested it start with a chorus, and the song was born. This song was the only previously released song to appear on "A Hard Day's Night." The song was fashioned after the rock n' roll of the fifties, and showcased Harrison's excellent guitar skills. Paul said that this was his attempt to write a bluesy song. Its theme was that material possessions are very nice but they can't get me what I want. Paul was honored years later when the great Ella Fitzgerald recorded this song. In his interview with "Playboy," Lennon said that it was "Paul's song completely."Can't buy me love, love, can't buy me love , I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend, if it makes you feel all right I'll get you anything my friend, if it makes you feel all right 'Cause I don't care too much for money, for money can't buy me love I'll give you all I've got to give, if you say you love me too, I may not have a lot to give, but what I've got I'll give to you I don't care too much for money, for money can't buy me love Can't buy me love, everybody tells me so, can't buy me love, no, no, no, no Say you don't need no diamond rings, and I'll be satisfied, Tell me that you want the kind of things, that money just can't buy I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love, Can't buy me love, everybody tells me so, can't buy me love, no, no, no, no Say you don't need no diamond rings, and I'll be satisfied, Tell me that you want the kind of things, that money just can't buy I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love, ooh, can't buy me love, love, can't buy me love, ooh |
