Yesterday
 

I watched a piece of great publicity! Liverpool John Lennon Airport, international, national and local media coverage.

Tuesday 15 May 2001. .. . Sir Paul McCartney longed for the song Yesterday to be acknowledged. . as his, but Yoko Ono wouldn't permit it, the former Beatle says. . .. . Yesterday, like most of the Beatle songs, was officially credited to. . McCartney and John Lennon. . .. . "At one point Yoko earned more from Yesterday than I did," McCartney. . said in an interview published today in Radio Times.. .. . "It doesn't compute, especially when it's the only song that none of The. . Beatles had anything to do with. I asked as a favour if I could have my. . name before John's on the Anthology credits for Yesterday, and Yoko. . refused." McCartney also said "it's not true" that he is worth £713 million. . ($A1.95 billion), as The Sunday Times newspaper recently reported. . .. . "I don't even know how much I'm worth, and I'm not sure my. . accountants know either," McCartney said. . .. . "But I'm very well off, which is great because as a working-class lad from. . Liverpool, that was my intention.". .. . -AP. .Sorry. I forgot...off to Jetblast. . . . <small>[ 16 March 2002, 02:37: Message edited by: Rollingthunder ]</small>

Every North American TV networks carried the item. What a magnificent publicity stunt the christening of Liverpool Airport turned out to be. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" />

What, do you suppose, was a "Liverpool John Lennon Airport" fire engine (RIV for the anoraks)doing on the A30 at Sunningdale, Berks. last week, heading westwards in the evening rush hour traffic?. .. .G-ALHI My spies are everywhere.

Nipp'in out to the chippie!

It had probably been knicked!!!

channel booze run

Q:. .Why aren't there any Scousers in Star Trek?. .. .A: . .'Cuz there aren't any jobs for us in the future. .either!

My guess is it was following the long and winding road, probably as a day tripper.

Good to see Lennon honoured in this way. IMHO he was more important than McCartney in the Fab Four, even tho the latter was the better songwriter. In my own airline (Rebel Airways) we have named one of our 767-300s after John Lennon. Our new A380 flagship will be named 'George Harrison'. I would include a pic on this post but I don't know how to add JPEG files. Can anyone help?. .. .Off to see the psychiatrist now.
