He also published a phenomenal Beatles fanzine called Strawberry Fields Forever and operated a voicemail line called the Beatlephone, which in many ways was a precursor to social media; callers could leave messages and bits of Beatles news which Joe would then relate in his daily

Interesting, for all of us who love reading. What i´ve recently discovered, though, is that musical mantras DO keep you focused on your reading. In my experience it enhances my concentration when reading, or writing. You should give it a try.

I remember hearing this radio program as a child in the 1970s, in my parent's evangelical home. I didn't know it was still on the air! Even as a child, I recognized the strict pattern for stories that you describe. Having been baptized at the age of eight, I remember worrying that I didn't have a suitable "redemption" story that fit into the "Unshackled" model

Please, be quiet. The fact that you wrote as much as you did is ridiculous to me. It's a great movie and no one needs you sitting there trying to poke holes in it. Not that you came anywhere near succeeding of course, you just came off as blathering on about something about which you apparently know and understand very little. You've wasted both your time and mine as well, although I&
