Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
This 1965 Beatles classic seems appropriate for today's Newsletter.
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBLLIftWqfQ - Help! - The Beatles
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help!_%28song%29:
"Help!" is a song by The Beatles that served as the title song for both the 1965 film and its soundtrack album. It was also released as a single, and was number one for three weeks in both the United States and the United Kingdom. "Help!" was written primarily by John Lennon, but credited (as were all Beatles songs written by either person) to Lennon/McCartney. Paul McCartney reports that he had a hand in writing the song as well, being called in "to complete it" in a two-hour joint writing session on 4 April 1965 at Lennon's house in Weybridge.[4] He later said that the title was "out of desperation".[5] In 2004, "Help!" was ranked number 29 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest songs of all time.
The documentary series The Beatles Anthology revealed that Lennon wrote the lyrics of the song to express his stress after the Beatles' quick rise to success. "I was fat and depressed and I was crying out for 'Help'," Lennon told Playboy.[6] Writer Ian MacDonald describes the song as the "first crack in the protective shell" Lennon had built around his fragile emotions during the Beatles' rise to fame, and an important milestone in his songwriting style.

From
Wayne
Stokes ('65) of VA - 09/20/10 - "Like a nail - Turn up your
speakers":
Some folks will want this for
their CD collection; others, probably not.
Hey, don't blame it on me, blame
it on 43!!
I'm trying to see if I send in
enough of what is mostly junk, I can get a 65er to at least write in
and say "tell Stokes to shut up"! :-) Then the
NNHS '65 NL will have
65ers contributing, I believe. If not, blame it on 43.

YEE HAA I love it--------- You must hear this song. This is a very good country music type song just written by a young ex-High School assistant football coach from Tennessee. I think most of you will like it and share it with others. This could be the next number one hit country song. It was written by a High School assistant football coach, and it criticizes the government. It's the best effort yet at encapsulating the outrage at the oversteps of this government in an entertaining song that doesn't suck. Apparently the guy was fired over the song because some parents complained. Shameful if true. If you like it, help it go "viral" by passing it along to everyone you know. |
Thanks, Wayne Honey,
you're a hoot!
You know perfectly well that some people would just rather read the Newsletters
than contribute items to them! Of course, this is so inflammatory, it just might
work!
NOTE: The
Webmistress - who is all but apolitical - issues her standard disclaimer.....
From the Daily Press - 09/21/10 - "You can't do that in Virginia":
You can't do that in Virginia
By Carol Capó Reason 72 (or maybe
720) why I love living in Virginia: Because we've been at this governing
business so long that there are, tucked away in our state code books,
entertaining little backwaters where time stands still. Do you not love the
image of a bunch of guys (let's be serious about who came up with that)
so absolutely certain about their alignment with their Lord's wishes
that they felt empowered — and obligated — to declare the Lord's Day to
be so for all the Lord's critters? |
From My Friend, Judy Bundy Bowermaster (Litchfield HS, IL - '59) of IL -

The happiness of my life depends on the quality of my thoughts. |
Friends are like balloons; once you let them go, you might not get them back. Sometimes we get so busy with our own lives and problems that we may not even notice that we've let them fly away. Sometimes we are so caught up in who's right and who's wrong that we forget what's right and wrong. Sometimes we just don't realize what real friendship means until it is too late. I don't want to let that happen so I'm gonna tie you to my heart so I never lose you. Send it to some balloons that you think have flown away forever. You may be surprised to see it return. Send this heart to everybody you like.
Send this heart to everybody that has touched your life in a positive way. Thank you for being in my life!!!
Thanks so much, Judy!
From Norris Perry (Warwick HS - '59) - 09/10/10 - "~Old Timers~ (#9 of 10)":
Carol,
Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor
to get a physical.
A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with
a gorgeous young woman on his arm.
A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, 'You're
really doing great, aren't you?'
Morris replied, 'Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and
be cheerful.''
The doctor said, 'I didn't say that.. I said, 'You've got a heart
murmur; be careful.'
Thanks, Norris!

Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help.
When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like I've never done before.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.
