My how time flies! Fifty years ago - February 9, 1964...

1964 does seem like a thousand years ago. I was alive, and I remember it, but it was a different world entirely.

I guess it's safe to say we're not going back to 1964 anytime soon. We're stuck with 2014, so we might as well try to make the most of it.

That's why I'm sending you the new Bruno Mars cd.

I actually thought his show at the Super Bowl was pretty entertaining. But I'm more the Jefferson Airplane kind of fan.

Any thoughts on the tribute show? What were your favorite performances?

I'd ask about least favorite, but I think it's a fairly unanimous tie between Katy Perry, and the Pharrel performances...

My favs of the show were probably John Mayer/Keith Urban on Don't let me down, and Dave Grohl's Hey Bulldog...

I considered Walsh and the others version of While my guitar gently weeps good, but not great. It's hard for anyone to pull that song off after seeing this performance of it..

Here's a few other of Grohl's McCartney performances...

I liked the show last night. I wasn't sure it would hold my interest but I stuck it out until the end. I especially liked Annie Lennox singing "Fool on the Hill" because I think that's an underrated Beatles' song. I'm a huge fan of the group's early material from 1963-64, and that was virtually absent save Ringo singing "Matchbox" and Paul's "I Saw Her Standing There", so that was a disappointment. But what I came away with was simply how many amazing songs they wrote. The show could have lasted ten hours and had a hundred numbers sung, and they never would have run out of classic material.

I was only half tongue in cheek. See you at Baxters.

And no man is an island....he's a peninsula.
