well Jude...i'm impressed to see you ventured into the dreary scary climbs of the old hometown and actually got to talk with so many of John's buds and pals from college. I couldn't even get a mail reply from the guy who would publish the merseybeat thingy...sorry, i can't recall his name now...senility sets in...Bill Harry was it? oh dear...too much delay on mein inner chips ...how did ya manage it Jude? But i guess keeping Allan Williams in drinks was a shrewd move with most 'scousers' or pseudo/defacto ones anyway. ...its been fun this week listening to your various online interviews, particularly the Pop Goes the 60's ones -tho the best one was the one you explained the early songs lyrics in...moving and spot on Jude. Very impressive. Yes, John has always been telling his story right under all those noses in plain lyrical site. So many of the pro hacks who have written about the fabs and co haven't come close to the actual reality of same, staring them in the middle eight....well done!
