It didn't last long.
No sooner was I hired for the

"Strawberry Fields" video, trouble started.
John couldn't get his eyes off my

cheap pink Stratocaster knock-off, and
Paul was so pissy that day that he
wouldn't speak to anyone.
(Something about his jacket.)
Ringo was mad because they gave him
toy drums and he couldn't reach them.
George was in a good mood, but I think

he was drunk.
They later airbrushed me out of the picture and denied I was ever there.
But hey, seeing is believing.

1995 was the only time I was ever in Dallas, TX., so of course,
I just had to visit the School Book Depository 6th Floor Museum.
Taking pictures is prohibited, but before they grabbed me I snapped this one.
This is the actual view the shooter would have had.

Rock 'N' Roll USED to be about Johnny Cash .. and this is why.
In a 1970 backstage photo considered by many as

"the Greatest Rock 'n' Roll picture ever taken",
Cash expresses his fondness for Nashville radio stations that

refused to play older artist's recordings.

not far from the cat box, it looks something like this.
