āRingo talked about his first face-to-face meeting with Paul in many months, on a plane, on the way to Mick Jaggerās wedding [in May], and then said, āI love Paul, you know. I really do,ā and for a moment, all the neatly printed legal statements Iād pored over, so formal, signed by all the Beatles, one against another, and entered in evidence in the English High Court, numbering the reasons the partnership should or should not be dissolved, seemed strange and distant. Even Klein, in Western gear, a prop holster and six-gun on his waist, the toughest, fastest wheeler-dealer in town, any town, sat there stuttering a moment when Ringo was finished. The drummerās eyes were moist.ā

"Like any bereavement, the only way out is to think about how good it was with John. Because I can't get over the senseless act. I can't think about it. I'm sure it's some form of denial. But denial is the only way that I can deal with it."

hello my fellow classic rock fans! how yāall doin? Iām just coming on here quick to inquire about something (and also spread a word of warning). For many months, thereās been some individual who continues to bombard me with messages through various different accounts. Iām assuming they keep making a ton of accounts as a means to contact me. The first account was an apparent fan account dedicated to Joe Strummer of The Clash. The latest messages I received were through their newest account I believe called brittanymurphyforever or something along those lines. There have been a ton more accounts theyāve tried to contact me through. I blocked the person so quickly that I didnāt even retain the Brittany Murphy blog name. I keep blocking the accounts, however, this person will not stop harrassing me. I get constant DMs from this person asking me questions and being very pushy and invasive. if anyone has any idea who they are or if anyone else has been having strange encounters with this same person, PLEASE let me know! And if who Iām talking about is reading this, PLEASE, let me be. Thank you.
