Born in 1951, stuck in 1967. Hopelessly non-romantic curmudgeon. Admirer of clever, satiric, iconoclastic comedy... and Brian Epstein. Get off my lawn, whippersnappers.

Attended Beatles concert in Detroit on August 13, 1966, when I was 15.

Brian Epstein has always been my favorite Beatle ever since the moment I first saw him on TV in 1964, continuing on after his death in 1967, and weathering all the shocks and surprises concerning his private life and problems ever since.

September 2010 I was gifted with the most awesome trip of my life: to Liverpool/London ~ but in general I did NOT visit Beatles landmarks. This was a Brian Epstein pilgrimage. :)

Please help us get Brian finally inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. I have run into many people aware of the Beatles who have no idea who Brian Epstein was. IMHO, he should have been the FIRST non-performer inductee! I'm impatient to get this taken care of, so I can get the hell out of administering that Facebook page! ;-)

I was divorced on November 4, 2008 (the same day Barack Obama was elected), and presently live in a sweet little apartment with the greatest daughter in the world (born on August 29, 1989 = 22 years+2 days after Brian died ~ but I started going into labor on the 22nd anniversary of his death Aug 27) who thinks the Beatles and Brian are "okay" but really loves videogames, animé, and manga. We have always been more like sisters than mother & daughter.

This sounds so superficial but ~~
I'm enamored of the Jewish people ~ not the religion (as with ANY religion) but the background and culture of the people. I've always thought they are, on average, the greatest/sexiest/smartest humans ever, and I love 'em tremendously ~ but, then, I turn around and start feeling self-conscious about sounding patronizing or like a Jewpie (groupie of Jewish people, LOL). So I just end up throwing my hands up and saying, "Pay no attention to the babbling shiksa in the corner!" XD

Family Guy/American Dad/The Cleveland Show on Fox, Futurama, I don't watch TV very much, I fervently wish they'd bring back reruns of The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In ~ or at least offer complete series DVD box sets., I mainly watch the old 70s-80s eps of The Match Game on GSN, Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert on Comedy Central, The Fairly Odd Parents, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, bits of all the late night talk shows, but when I do, etc, on Cartoon Network and Boomerang
