Hee, that was fun! Even if you and I were wallflowers while CJL happily chatted up the celebs! The Martin as Lorne comparison is hilarious.
Normally I never go to these kinds of shindigs, but I was glad I went. During the screening, I really wanted to scream along with the filmed audience of teenyboppers. I think somebody in the live audience really did scream out Paul's name at one point, LOL! It was a kick to see these four boys who were to go on to change the world. In the moment, it seemed perfectly simple: what's not to love? I'm not a pop music geek, more of a jazzbo, so the comparison that came to mind was something that was once said about Ella Fitzgerald -- that there was a quality of joy that always came out in her singing -- the Beatles had that joy and it was infectious.
And, oh that Davy Jones! What a cutie pie! Such a funny, charming man! See, we need to be reminded that there are people and things worth celebrating, even in these jaded times. I'm proud to call myself a fangurl!
