Believe it or not, it was over half a century ago, so memories have a tendency to get a bit foggy on pivotal details and facts back then. For instance, if you asked someone today, “When did the Beatles first appear on American television?” the reply will almost always be The Ed Sullivan Show. However, that answer requires a ‘qualifier’ in order to be considered correct.

While it is historical fact that the Fab Four made their first ‘live’ appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, it was not, by any stretch, their first appearance on American television. Earlier American television exposure of the Beatles predated The Ed Sullivan Show. One earlier example was NBC’s popular The Huntley-Brinkley Report, on November 18, 1963 (prior to the Beatles first arrival on American soil in 1964). It was a fourminute-long special report filed by Edwin Newman on that show. The video no longer survives, but the impact it imprinted on the consciousness of an entire nation, would.

Something big was happening abroad, and major league news-broadcasters were sniffing out early stories of a strange fascination involving four mysterious-looking, long-haired Liverpool Quarrymen who were blossoming out of a larvae stage and morphing into the Beatles.

For America’s youth, that early HuntleyBrinkley Report on NBC ignited a loveat-first-sight affair and the beginning stages of a whole new revolution in the world’s music industry. That first impact on television viewers generated a quick follow-up report four days later by competing CBS Morning News, on November 22, 1963, which quickly filed their own five-minute feature report acknowledging the emerging phenomenon of ‘Beatlemania’ which was sweeping the United Kingdom. But, these tidbits of information weren’t enough to appease the appetite of Americans.

They craved more details.

The American public’s growing fascination over a strange-looking mop-top group of English musicians made CBS network executives scramble to broadcast a second story, this time on CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite, on December 10, 1963, just two months before the Beatles’ would arrive in America.

Not one to let a good story with growing international interest pass him by, Jack Paar, host of NBC’s The Tonight Show, joined the other media giants on January 3, 1964, when he featured the Beatles on film, together with Paar’s personal commentary. Sitting on a stool in front of a live studio audience on The Tonight Show, a fidgety Jack Paar looked into the NBC television camera lens and said, “The Beatles are an extraordinary act in England. Now, we’ve never, in my seven years at NBC ever, on The Tonight Show, ever had a

rock ‘n’ roll act. But, I want to show them to you tonight.” Paar then shifted his weight on his stool as if trying to emphasize his next point, stuttered a bit, then leaned forward and continued talking to the cameras, “They’re from the toughest part of England – it’s the Mercy side near Liverpool, on the dock area. And they’re kind of witty.

Someone asked them, ‘What’s it like living on the docks of Liverpool?’ And they said, ’Just staying alive in Liverpool is exciting!’” Then Jack Paar introduced the Beatles (on film) as they performed two vocals that visually showed an English audience of mostly girls, driven to the brink of hysteria. It was a most riveting moment for Jack Paar’s live studio audience on The Tonight Show. They had just glimpsed an emerging phenomenon that would eventually encircle the planet and forever change the face of the music industry.

That latest exposure of the Beatles on Jack Paar’s Tonight Show was just one month prior to their arrival in America, and it contributed in igniting a prairie fire of uncontrollable exuberance on this side of the Atlantic.

The fevered pitch of anticipation was now at its frenzied height when the Beatles boarded Pan Am Flight 101 on February 7, 1964, and left Heathrow Airport in England en route to the United States. At their departure they were sent off by over four thousand screaming, hysterical British fans. When the Beatles’ plane touched ground at New York’s newly-named John F. Kennedy Airport, pandemonium would await them. They were greeted by over four thousand rabid American fans screaming at deafening decibel levels,

along with over two hundred journalists who had already smelled a newsworthy story that was like no other, before or since. The two hundred journalists, alone, was unprecedented for any rock ‘n’ roll band, by any standard, or for any musical group for that matter, in recorded history.

The world had never before seen such unleashed frenzy and excitement from a crowd in giving such a staggering reception for a rock ‘n’ roll band, especially when one considers this dizzying fact: they were newcomers, like brand-spanking new sports cars fresh off the assembly-line with their paint still wet.

John F. Kennedy Airport personnel were quickly sent into a state of shock and

disbelief. International airports are used to dealing with huge throngs of people on a daily basis, especially in denselypopulated cosmopolitan centers such as Tokyo, London, and New York. But nothing could prepare John F. Kennedy International Airport with this historic reception. World news cameras, hundreds of reporters jostling each other as if rough-housing in a hockey game, all desperately recording the event and trying to meet their respective deadlines.

World news observed, “From having so many people packed in a little space, a few people in the crowd got injured. The airport had not previously experienced such a large crowd!”

In the past there had been the likes of Rudy Vallee and a young Frank Sinatra, and then Elvis Presley, all with adoring women swooning at their feet. But, those Americans! The Beatles would make multiple U.S. tours, beginning in 1964. Prior to their entrance upon the world stage, America had no equal -after all, America was the undisputed cradle of jazz and rock ‘n’ roll.

American giants in the rock ‘n’ roll industry, including such dazzling stars as Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Fats Domino, the Beach Boys, and Elvis Presley were, clearly, early pioneers and trendsetters that even influenced the Beatles, themselves. But as the rising star for the English Fab Four continued reaching new heights of popularity, many of these American rock ‘n’ roll legends suddenly stood on the wayside watching the parade pass them by, as well as watching their record sales plummet, dramatically. In many quarters, the Beatles were viewed as bad for their respective musical careers as the giant musical industry shifted gears in the new direction of British rock ‘n’ roll bands

Golf Pros and Politicians have a Lot in Common.

At a Washington D.C. area golf course, a golfer asks the golf pro if they sell ball markers.

The golf pro says that they do, and they are $1.00.

The golfer gives the golf pro a dollar.

The golf pro opens the register, puts the dollar in, and hands the player a dime to use as a marker.

This economic model is part of some political candidate’s 90% tax plan to restore the US economy.

••••• And That's When The Fight Started HOW FIGHTS START:

that would soon, collectively, became known as “The British Invasion,” all of which resulted in re-shaping American pop culture and seducing countless millions to their every beck-and-call, like the sounds of the Sirens, in Greek mythology.

Tidbits of hidden fact and drama were masked behind the scenes, largely unknown to the general public, then and now. The unstoppable Beatlemania tidal wave of popularity that was sweeping the American landscape was so formidable, and so overwhelming, that they received a (little known) request from the U.S. White House in Washington, D.C., asking for a bit of recognition from the Beatles! In August of 1964 the White House press office asked the Beatles to agree to be photographed alongside the newly-installed president, Lyndon B. Johnson, in his plans to lay a wreath on the grave of President John F. Kennedy, who had been assassinated less than nine months prior to the Beatles landing in America. Beatles manager, Brian Epstein, politely refused the request on the grounds that it was not within the guidelines of the Beatles to accept “official invitations” from American political partisan factions during their initial tour. Nevertheless, the zeitgeist for the arrival of the Beatles was perfect timing as they seemed to create a welcomed respite for a mourning nation as American youth, in particular, refocused on returning to normal lives and rediscovering the celebration of unrestrained fun, frolic, and song, riding a wave of excitement in a new era of music that would prove revolutionary and become known as the “British Beat.”

The Beatles soon opened the floodgates for other British bands to stream into America, such as The Rolling Stones, Herman’s Hermits, The Animals, Peter

One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift.

The next year, I didn't buy her a gift.

When she asked me why, I replied, "Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!"

And that's when the fight started.....

••••• My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to have sex?'

'No, she answered.

I then said, 'Is that your final answer?'

She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, 'Yes.'

So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."

And that's when the fight started.....

••••• I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first. "I'll have the rump steak, rare, please."

He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?"

"Nah, she can order for herself."

And that's when the fight started.....

••••• My wife was at her high school reunion, and she kept staring at a drunk swigging his drink as he sat alone at a nearby table.

and Gordon, and The Who, to give a brief sampling. Music historians would later credit this era of new musical phenomena as “Creating a new counter-culture on both sides of the Atlantic.” It would soon spread worldwide.

Other British imports followed in increasing numbers, dominating the American music pop charts as never before: The Dave Clark Five, The Yardbirds, the Zombies, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Chad and Jeremy, and other powerhouses. Within this constellation of new British bands, the Beatles held center court as the most dynamic and most popular the world had, heretofore, witnessed. On the cusp of immortality, and unprecedented success, they set new, seemingly impossible, standards for their contemporaries who followed in their wake. For example, during their second U.S. Tour, they filled New York’s Shea Stadium with an astonishing 55,000 fans on August 15, 1965. It was the first time in history that such a large outdoor stadium had ever been used for such a purpose.

It was during the reign of their second 1965 U.S. Tour that the Beatles would, unexpectedly, cross paths with San Diego. San Diego was overlooked in the Beatles first 1964 Tour and, again, in 1965 when their 1965 North American Tour Schedule was first announced.

That would later change, surprisingly, when San Diego was, suddenly, added to their 1965 American Tour dates. Thanks to the persistent efforts of two Los Angeles promoters, Allen Tinkley and Louis Robin, the Beatles were successfully booked for their only San Diego concert appearance, now slated for Saturday, August 28, 1965. Little did anyone know that San Diego would become the battleground of a vicious media war over the rights to promote the

Beatles at San Diego’s Balboa Stadium.

This tooth-and-nail media in-fighting would prove to be a death-struggle of sorts yet it would remain largely behind the scenes and, curtained off, to the general public, and Beatles fans. Much of what happened in this media warfare remains largely unknown, to this day.

The media combatants at the time involved popular San Diego radio stations KGB and KCBQ. The two rival radio stations viciously competed for the rights to officially promote the San Diego Beatles concert, which eventually would lead to legal litigation against one another (KGB vs. KCBQ). During the onset, the Beatles’ concert promoters (Allen Tinkley and Louis Robin) had asked both rival radio stations to submit their best proposals with a submission dateline of June 10, 1965. KGB and KCBQ pulled out all the stops in their ensuing competition to win the (official) Beatles air-time rights and the honor of introducing them live, on stage, at San Diego’s Balboa Stadium, truly a most historic musical event for San Diego.

The ensuing “pitches” and various proposal ideas by both KGB and KCBQ made their way to promoters, Louis Robin and Allen Tinkley. Lee Bartell, KCBQ General Manager, created a fictional DJ character by the name of “Lord Tim of Liverpool,” (real name, Tim Hudson), who paraded as a fictional Englishman who claimed to be a personal friend of the Beatles. In addition, KCBQ promised promoters a full sevenweek-long promotion in newspapers, Beatles gift give-a-ways, and press conferences. KGB’s Bill Drake upped the ante by offering Beatles’ promoters the

I asked her, "Do you know him?"

I bought her a bathroom scale.

"My God!" I said, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?"

The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's License to verify my age.

"Yes," she sighed, “he's my old boyfriend. He began drinking right after we split up years ago, and hasn't been sober since."

And that's when the fight started.....

••••• When our lawn mower broke my wife kept nagging me to get it fixed.

But, I always had something else to take care of. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. I found her seated in the tall, unmowed grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. I said, "When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway."

The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.

••••• My wife sat down next to me as I was flipping channels.

She asked, "What's on TV?" I said, "Lots of dust."

And that's when the fight started.....

••••• My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary.

She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 165 in about 2 seconds."

And that's when the fight started.....

••••• After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for benefits.

I looked in my pockets and realized I had left it at home. I told the woman I would have to go home and come back later.

The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt.'

So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver chest hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application.

When I got home, I told my wife what had happened.

She replied “You should have opened your pants. You might have gotten disability too.'

And that's when the fight started.....

••••• My wife was standing naked, looking in the bedroom mirror. She was not happy with what she saw and said to me, "I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.'

I replied, "Your eyesight's damn near perfect."

moon, stating that KGB would not only offer carte blanche coverage in every conceivable fashion for the upcoming Beatles concert but, in summation, the promoters would, in essence, sit in the owner’s chair at KGB and drive the promotion scheme as they see fit. The offers from both competing radio stations were so enticing that promoters Robin and Tinkley offered a joint sponsorship by both KGB and KCBQ. The stations, mutually, wanted no part of each other. Rivalry was too, acrimoniously, deeply planted. Finally, on June 15, KGB Radio (which, incidentally, had higher ratings than KCBQ), was signed to officially promote and sponsor the Beatles San Diego Concert, on August 28, 1965, at Balboa Stadium.

Nonetheless, KCBQ hung on with their “Lord Tim of Liverpool” publicity, grabbing radio listeners away from KGB, which was now the official sponsor of the Beatles upcoming concert. The ongoing feud was not about to go away, quietly. KCBQ stayed on with their Lord Tim persona, which was stealing the thunder from KGB. And KCBQ’s Lord Tim was gaining momentum in fan popularity. Lord Tim was the full irresistible package: he was young, good looking, spoke in an English accent and, for good measure, sported bell-bottom pants and Beatles haircut. All this, drove the Beatles-appointed radio sponsor, KGB, to have kittens. The on-air feud heightened to a climax when KCBQ Radio managed to obtain full permission from the Beatles tour management to allow Lord Tim to travel with the English megastars. This KCBQ major coup against KGB was almost an outright death blow between the competing media, in favor of KCBQ, which now had inner-access to personal interviews with the Beatles, all of which would be aired, exclusively, on KCBQ airwaves.

Adding to ticket-sales confusion, KCBQ publicized their own radio station phone number as a source to purchase Beatles concert tickets. This caused confusing information for KGB, the official concert sponsor, and also for radio listeners who wished to purchase tickets. All these proceedings culminated in KGB filing a lawsuit against rival radio station, KCBQ.

Despite this behind-the-scenes drama, San Diego’s one-and-only Beatles concert commenced at San Diego’s Balboa Stadium. Contradicting ticket information and bitter in-fighting between two warring radio stations created an element of confusion which hurt public ticket sales, in the process. Also, the lastminute addition of San Diego to the Beatles North American Tour Date Schedule gave promoters a shorter period of time to promote the event. San Diego’s only Beatles concert could have proven better without the behind-thescenes media drama. Out of 27,041 tickets, only about 17, 013 were sold, leaving an estimated 10,000 empty seats.

Tickets were priced at $3.50, $4.50, and $5.50. Some fence-hoppers were successful in seeing the concert, free.

The following year would be a most unforgettable one. In the Beatles next visit to America, a towering drama and worldwide scandal would await them, unexpectedly, on their third, 1966 U.S. Tour. The fallout would reverberate on world headlines, for years to come. And it would prove to be the final tour of this most famous rock band in world history.

As the Beatles’ wave of popularity saturated the consciousness of an entire world, controversy popped up in intervals along with their rising fame. Then, the other shoe dropped for the Liverpool group when John Lennon made what was perceived to be a most controversial remark that stunned Christian roots here in America. During the course of an interview with England’s London Evening Standard newspaper in March of 1966, Lennon was quoted by writer, Maureen Cleave, as stating, “We’re more popular than Jesus, now.” To many Christians, Lennon then seemed to twist the knife he had, in their eyes, just plunged into the bosom of Christianity: “Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn’t argue about that; I’m right and I’ll be proved right. We’re more popular than Jesus now; I don’t know which will go first – rock ‘n’ roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It’s them twisting it that ruins it for me.”

In the beginning stages, much of this controversy remained behind the scenes.

The remark did not raise any hackles on their British home soil, however, when it

was republished in America five months later, it made a negative splash on this side of the pond. Here in America, there were quick angry retorts from various sectors of the United States.

On their 1966 tour, both John Lennon and manager, Brian Epstein, attempted to defuse the controversy which popped up, erratically, at various U.S. press conferences. Lennon would explain that while it was true he was not a practicing Christian he, equally, was neither antiChrist or anti-religion either. “I wasn’t saying that the Beatles are better than Jesus or God or Christianity. I didn’t mean it the way they said it.” Lennon would explain it in different interviews, “But, I could have said TV, or cinema, or anything else that’s popular, or motorcars are bigger than Jesus (in popularity). But, I just said Beatles because, you know, that’s the easiest one for me. I just never thought of repercussions. I never thought of it.”

Nevertheless, Lennon was crucified in the press. Their U.S. tour continued with brushes of public protests and occasional public burnings of Beatles records. A general claim of the Beatles all being anti-Christ was shouted by many. In Memphis, Tennessee, the city council decided not to let their “municipal facilities be used as a forum to ridicule anyone’s religion” and voted to cancel the Beatles concert. Despite this, the Beatles concert took place in Memphis anyway, on Friday, August 19, 1966, but not without harassment from segments of the audience. At one point during the evening concert, someone threw a firecracker which exploded on stage causing the Beatles to, initially, believe that they were being shot at. At the precise moment of the firecracker exploding on stage, John, Paul, and Ringo, all immediately looked in the direction of John Lennon, thinking that he might have been shot!

Other repercussions followed when the Ku Klux Klan nailed a Beatles album to a wooden cross, vowing vengeance, and conservative Christian groups staged further public burnings of Beatles records. Some disc jockeys openly stated their refusal to play any of the Beatles’ songs. In Tennessee, a reporter had asked Paul’s response to Lennon’s Jesus remark, “Do you feel that Americans are out to get you? That this is all developing into something of a witch hunt?” Paul

McCartney stated the difference between Americans and English since the Beatles were not being generally chastised in their own homeland: “No. We thought it might be that kind of thing. I think a lot of people in England did, because there’s this thing about, you know, when America gets violent and gets very hung-up on a thing, it tends to have this sort of ‘Ku Klux Klan’ thing around it.” Lennon had previously referred to the KKK as “fascist Christians.” Nationalistically, British fans wanted the Beatles back home, safe and sound. The fundamental disparity between the way the British and Americans innately view things differently seemed magnified. The severity of some Beatles protests made manager, Brian Epstein, consider cancelling the fourteen concert tour, fearing for their lives, but in the end the tour proceeded as planned.

Had the ‘Jesus’ remark emanated from the pulpit it might have been an edifying sermon on the actual decline of church attendance, misplaced values, or a fruitful commentary of needed Christian priorities. But considering the source of the remark, Lennon and his statement were given no quota of forgiveness by many staunchly religious groups. It made no difference to many that he may have been wrongly misjudged, or even if his statement was a cultural fact and not meant as a boast. Either way one spins it, John Lennon stepped up to the plate and offered his apologies with a “God bless, America. Thank you, Jesus,” at their tour’s farewell.

Lennon had stated that he never had a problem with the Biblical Jesus. Rather, he voiced concerns with Christians who openly expressed bodily harm to a perceived enemy of their faith. In retrospect, few seemed to care enough in granting him the benefit of the doubt in, objectively, examining the complete facts before rushing to judge him. For example, there was a little-known fact, even today, which lay hiddened behind-thescenes of his so-called anti-Jesus remark.

When John Lennon was first interviewed during which he made that celebrated remark back in 1966 the entire interview took place at his Kenwood home, in Weybridge, England. Lennon’s

On Thursday, March 24, at about 8:36 pm, officers from the Escondido Police Department were dispatched to the area of Washington Ave and Quince Street regarding a serious injury collision involving a vehicle and a bicyclist. Upon arrival, officers found a male and his bicycle lying in the northbound lanes of Quince Street and a 2014 Jeep Compass stopped just south of him.

The bicyclist sustained injuries to the left side of his body and a significant head injury. Escondido Fire transported him to Palomar Hospital for treatment.

According to driver and witness statements, and physical evidence at the scene, it appears the bicyclist was riding west on Washington Avenue across Quince Street against a red light. The driver of the Jeep Compass, Lucia Briones, 30 years old of Escondido, was driving northbound Quince Street when her vehicle struck the bicyclist.

Briones has a valid driver’s license and had not been drinking. The bicyclist had possibly been drinking although it is unknown at this time if he was impaired. The bicyclist did not have identification and was unable to speak due to the seriousness of his injuries. He is unidentified at this time.

The traffic investigation is ongoing and is being conducted by Officer Stephen Braucht of the Traffic Division. Anyone with information

on this case is encouraged to call Officer Braucht at the above phone number.

Sobriety Enforcement Results

On March 25, 2016 the Escondido Police Department conducted a DUI Sobriety / Driver’s License Checkpoint in the area of Avenida Del Diablo and W. Valley Parkway.

Checkpoints are placed in locations that have the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence and provide the greatest safety for officers and the public.

DUI/Driver’s License checkpoints have been shown to lower DUI deaths and injuries. A major component of these checkpoints are the deterrent effects it has on those who might drive drunk or drugged impaired, bringing about more awareness and encouraging everyone to use sober designated drivers.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), checkpoints have provided the most effective documented results of any of the DUI enforce-

port. And we are having the time of our life.

I owe that all to John Smylie.

John died last week.

We knew he had been ill. He thought he had beaten “the big C” but it seemed to keep coming back. He fought it long and hard, even retired from his law practice so he could focus on healing and getting better.

It was a little over 16 years ago when John Smylie, well-known probate attorney based in San Marcos, called me and said, “Do you want to get back into the media?”

“I dunno,” I said, “what’s cooking?”

ment strategies, while also yielding considerable cost savings of $6 for every $1 spent. Ninety Percent of California drivers approve of checkpoints.

Drivers whose only offense was being unlicensed to drive were given the opportunity to locate the registered owner of the vehicle to either take or assign possession of the vehicle to a licensed driver. 4 vehicles were released to the owner or a designated driver. During the checkpoint, 5 vehicles were impounded.

Following are other results from this event: Ø 1120 vehicles drove through the checkpoint. Ø 762 vehicles were screened in primary. Ø 25 vehicles were sent to secondary screening (drivers who could not produce a driver’s license or who were suspected of being under the influence of alcohol or drugs) Ø 8 total citations were issued during the checkpoint. (3 for suspended license and 5 for unlicensed driver, 4 for no insurance.) Ø 2 persons were arrested for DUI. Ø 2 persons were arrested for possession of methamphetamine, heroin and probation violations Ø Educational material was distributed regarding DUI problems.

home contained a full-size crucifix of Jesus suffering on the cross. He had powerful, private, feelings on Jesus which no one took into account, but which would manifest later.

Asked about the controversial remark three years later, in 1969, in Canada, John Lennon set his course in words, “I’m very big on Christ. I’ve always fancied him. He was right.”

Nevertheless, Lennon’s remark would stay on in much of the public’s mindset.

Added fallout from this anti-Beatles sentiment would soon be exploited in a most bizarre set of circumstances. It would, in fact, culminate in an unforeseen behind-the-scenes drama that would make American daytime soap operas pale in comparison. Seeing an opening of vulnerability, a chink in the Beatles’ armor, an emboldened Elvis Presley seized the moment to further exploit the perceived anti-Jesus remark for all its worth, adding in a generous dollop of anti-Americanism in his accusations against the Beatles, and other socalled insurgents.

Thirty-five thousand feet above the ground, a determined Elvis Presley sat onboard an American Airlines flight to Washington, D.C. Elvis was on a mission to ban the Beatles (and other insurgents) from the United States and he was going straight to the Oval Office to make his case. It was December 21, 1970, and a most unlikely battlefield was set in place, comprised of the most opposite of combatants: a rock ‘n’ roll band and the United States of America.

At least, that was Elvis’ attack plan.

While it is true that Elvis Presley’s man-

ager, Colonel Tom Parker, had sent a telegram welcoming the Beatles, on his and Elvis’ behalf, to Ed Sullivan, the sentiment behind the words belied true feelings. For one thing, Elvis Presley was unaware of the extended gesture, via the telegram, until post facto. The telegram was read by Ed Sullivan on the Beatles’ debut, ‘live,’ on his show. Tom Parker’s telegram read: “Congratulations on your appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show and your visit to America. We hope your visit engagement will be a successful one and your visit pleasant. Give our best to Mr. Sullivan.

Sincerely, Elvis & The Colonel.” In truth, they both viewed the Beatles as an incursion into their world that dramatically reduced Elvis’ record sales as well as his popularity as a teen idol. As history would have it, those unrivalled days for the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll were, indeed, now over, and Elvis Presley’s music career would never fully recover its erstwhile level of popularity. Nonetheless, Elvis remained widely popular, but never as before.

On board this particular American Airlines flight en route to the nation’s capitol, Elvis Presley, snake-bit with professional jealousy, took American Airlines stationery and scribbled five pages of his anti-Beatle case that he would present to President Richard M. Nixon, himself.

About noon, in September of 1970, Elvis Presley entered the Oval Office to have a 30-minute meeting with President Richard Nixon. Initially, Elvis was upset over the Secret Service men confiscating his World War II Colt .45 pistol, which he had intended to present to Nixon as a present. But he quickly recovered, enthusiastically showing off his extensive collection of police badges to the president. Elvis was not above asking for a federal agent ID badge from Nixon, and he did. He asked for a

Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs badge. Amused, Nixon told one of his top aides (Egil ‘Bud’ Krogh) to see to it. Nixon put the order for Elvis to receive a honorary Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs badge.

Overjoyed, Elvis hugged the President and then proceeded to present his antiBeatles letter to Nixon. In part, Elvis said the Beatles, as well as other undesirables, had laid the groundwork for many of America’s problems by accusing them of anti-American sentiments. In particular, he attacked the Beatles for antiJesus remarks, filthy unkempt appearances and suggestive music. It was a bizarre statement considering Elvis Presley having been accused of the same ‘crimes,’ leading for him to be filmed only from the waist up by TV censors, when he appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show on January 6, 1957. At the time, horrified public school teachers, priests, ministers, and parents, all condemned Elvis for his “sexually suggestive movements.” Neither was any mention of Elvis Presley’s brush with San Diego’s Police Department during his rise to fame. His appearance in April of 1956 at the San Diego Arena on 8th and Harbor Drive had heavy police in attendance. The Shore Patrol had to set up a blockade behind the venue after two teen-aged girls running in their underwear were caught by San Diego Police. When Presley was scheduled to return to the Arena on June of the same year, Police Chief Adam Elmer Jansen, said he had enough of the hip-swiveling Elvis, stating “If he puts on the same kind of show that he did last April, I’ll arrest him for disorderly conduct.” (The San Diego Union newspaper.)

Elvis would, in fact, have four additional concerts in San Diego despite the warning from San Diego Police Chief Jansen.

However, an amused President Nixon never mentioned the widely-publicized

early Elvis Presley appearance-scandal in San Diego. But FBI Director, J. Edgar Hoover, never forgot the lurid incidents, adding pages to Elvis Presley’s secret dossier file, which would total 683 pages.

Unlike Nixon, Hoover refused to meet with Elvis during his visit to Washington, D.C., though he was granted a private tour of the FBI Headquarters.

At the Oval Office, the thirty-minute meeting seemed to amuse President Nixon. At one point Nixon remarked, “You dress kind of wild, don’t you son?” Elvis quickly replied, “Mr. President, you’ve got your show to run and I’ve got mine.” At Elvis’ request, he wanted his remarks against the Beatles and others such as The Smothers Brothers, to remain a secret.

However, a year later, columnist Jack Anderson first broke the story in The Washington Post newspaper.

Later, when Elvis returned home, he was so proud of his honorary federal agent ID badge that he used it, together with his collection of police badges on several occasions to flag down speeding motorists in his effort to cut down on car accidents. “The narc badge represented some kind of ultimate power to him,” Priscilla Presley would later record in her personal memoir, “Elvis and Me.” Priscilla would later elaborate, “With the federal narcotics badge, he believed he could legally enter any country both wearing guns and carrying any drugs he wanted.”

The Beatles had openly praised Elvis Presley. John Lennon went as far as stating, “Before Elvis, there was nothing.” Sadly, they would learn of Elvis’ secret attempt to derail and deport them from the United States. Despite these behind-the-

scenes attempts to sabotage the Beatles, they still recognized him, objectively, as a driving force in their lives. John Lennon would remain true in his praise, stating “I didn’t want to say anything against Elvis, not even privately in my own mind. Without Elvis, there would never have been the Beatles.”

There was no question that the Beatles lived and thrived when there existed a horrific backdrop of events; a world full of treachery, racial and national bigotry, and back-stabbing. During the era of the Beatles’ emergence and tenure, the world seemed at its darkest hour.

During their rise to fame, they had seen the shocking assassination of an American U.S. President on TV, the Vietnam War in escalation, the brutal cold-blooded murders of Dr. Martin Luther King, and Bobby Kennedy -both in the same year (1968), the Watts riots in Los Angeles, as well as the ongoing human struggle during the American Civil Rights Movement. Regarding the Civil Rights Movement, the Beatles constantly remained steadfast in their refusals to perform for any segregated audiences. In all cases, the promoters of these planned segregated concerts backed down and gave in to the Beatles’ demands. Even before the alleged antiJesus remark, the Fab Four never relished live public performances due to limitations in sound quality, not to mention the din of the crowds which made their musical genius inaudible.

The Beatles’ 1966 live American Tour would prove to be their last hurrah, after which they realized their initial desire to become a studio-only band. In May of 1969, Lennon and McCartney recorded, “The Ballad of John and Yoko,” with Lennon’s haunting words reminiscent of his previous chastisement by the American Christian community: “Christ, you know it ain’t easy. You know how hard it can be; the way things are going -- they’re gonna crucify me.” In a BBC interview in England, John Lennon called himself, “One of Christ’s biggest fans.”

There had been persistent rumors and rumblings of a Beatle break-up during the late 60s. Finally, it came to fruition when the Beatles formally announced they were going their separate ways in 1970. The disbanding was historic in closing the gilded pages of what many music historians have called “History’s most influential and greatest rock ‘n’ band of all-time.” Sadly, John Lennon’s misconstrued Jesus remark would shadow him and eventually claim him, unjustly.

On December 8, 1980, John Lennon was brutally murdered by Mark David Chapman, who according to press releases “Had become a born-again Christian in 1970.” According to Chapman’s confession, he wanted to murder John Lennon because of his “More popular than Jesus,” remark. Chapman had called Lennon’s remark, “Blasphemy.”

Chapman later stated that he was further angered by John Lennon’s songs, “God,” and “Imagine.”

John Lennon’s killer would even sing his own lyric version of “Imagine,” by singing the words, “Imagine John Lennon dead.”

John Lennon loved America so much that he relocated from England to New York. When he was asked why by reporters he stated that he fell in love with New York the first time he saw it.

He considered it the cultural center of the world. “If I’d lived in Roman times, I’d have lived in Rome. Where else? Today, America is the Roman Empire and New York is Rome, itself.”

Eight years after John Lennon’s death, in 1988, Elvis Presley, also, would die,

unexpectedly. Unlike Lennon, Elvis would be claimed by a drug overdose.

Ironic, in that he was still in possession of his honorary federal narcotics badge.

The world is often full of contradictions, surprising drama, and often behind-thescenes drama. With the Beatles, Elvis Presley, and San Diego, therein was an odd mixture of music, joy, drugs, and sexual censorship. All in all, despite the suffering, murders, and internecine battles, there was a music legacy left behind which we treasure today. It was a bright explosion of musical sunlight within the chasm of worldly darkness. In particular, the Beatles left an indelible legacy as the greatest band of all-time. We may never see their likeness again.

Two Irish Nuns

Two Irish nuns have just arrived in USA by boat, and one says to the other, "I hear that the people in this country actually eat dogs."

"Odd," her companion replies, "but if we shall live in America, we might as well do as the Americans do."

As they sit, they hear a push cart vendor yelling, "Hot Dogs get your dog’s here," and they both walk towards the hot dog cart.

"Two dogs, please," says one. The vendor is very pleased to oblige, wraps both hot dogs in foil and hands them over. Excited, the nuns hurry to a bench and begin to unwrap their 'dogs.'

Learning the Arts is Academic

School districts in North County recently hit a high note when they were recognized by the California Alliance for Arts Education for enhancing student scholastic experience through robust arts education programs. The results were 'music to the ears' of San Marcos, San Pasqual and Vista Unified School Districts when students recently performed at the San Diego Museum of Art during the Alliance’s award celebration. The economic recession’s impact on school district finances has left arts education programs, including music, drama, dance, and visual arts underfunded. With budgets now stabilized, some school districts have restored their investment in arts education.

Each school district was cited for their work to develop strategic plans that will bring more arts education to their students. Studies have found that integrating the arts with other subjects can help raise achievement levels.

They point to students who regularly participate in the arts and

Accolades were also showered on Vista Unified’s music educator Ann Fennell.

Ann was recently honored as a finalist for the Grammy’s 2015 Music Educator Award. Prior to the awards celebration, her student steel-drum ensemble entertained over 400 in the museum’s Sculpture Garden.

All award recipients were quick to credit supportive parents, teachers, artists, community organizations, businesses and donors as the collective rock on which their programs are built.

Lincoln Became President with Only 39 percent of the Vote

While the current discussion of having a “contested” GOP National Convention this year swirls in the news, it is of some interest to note it won’t be the first time. The first time it happened was in 1860, which barely led to the election of Abraham Lincoln as President.

The 1860 GOP Convention nominated former U.S. Rep. Abraham Lincoln of Illinois and Senator Hannibal Hamlin of Maine for Vice President, but it took three ballots.

Lincoln's nomination was a surprise, as the favorite before the convention had been U.S. Sen. William H. Seward, Lincoln's campaign manager.

Lincoln and Hamlin went on to defeat three other major tickets including Democratic nominee Stephen A. Douglas, U.S. Senator,

also from Illinois.

While the 1856 GOP effort on behalf of U.S. Army Col. John C. Frémont met with failure, GOP Party gains were made throughout the Northern United States as the sectional crisis over slavery intensified. Lincoln’s election triggered the secession of most of the southern states, resulting in the Civil War.

The Convention was the object of the interest and attention of a multitude of curious citizens who crowded the "Wigwam" Convention Center to the rafters. Delegations seated by state and were virtually devoid of Southern participation, with no delegations attending from the slave states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Florida.

The 1860 Republican platform consisted of 17 declarations of principle, of which 10 dealt directly with the issues of free soil (anti-slavery) principles, slavery, the Fugitive Slave Act, and the preservation of the Union, while the remaining seven dealt with other issues.

Other candidates seeking the nomination at the convention included Lincoln, Ohio Governor Salmon P. Chase, former U.S. Representative Edward Bates of Missouri, and U.S. Senator Simon Cameron of Pennsylvania.

As the convention developed, however, it was revealed that Seward, Chase, and Bates had each alienated factions of the Republican Party.

Delegates were concerned that Seward was too closely identified with the radical wing of the party, and his moves toward the center had alienated the radicals. (Does that sound familiar?)

Chase, a former Democrat, was opposed by many of the former Whigs who had become Republicans, was thought to be too radical on slavery, had opposed tariffs wanted by Pennsylvania manufacturing interests, and critically, had opposition in

his own delegation from Ohio. Bates outlined his positions on extension of slavery into the territories and equal constitutional rights for all citizens, positions that alienated his supporters in the border states and southern conservatives. GermanAmericans in the party opposed Bates because of his past association with the Know-Nothings party.

It was essential to carry the West (today would be the Middle West), and Lincoln was a prominent “Westerner.” He had a national reputation from his debates and speeches in which he eloquently opposed slavery while avoiding any of the radical positions that could alienate moderate voters. He had the support of the Illinois and Indiana delegations before the convention, and was the strongest candidate other than Seward. Nonetheless, Seward's prestige appeared likely to carry him to the nomination.

On May 18, when voting for the nomination began, Seward led on the first ballot with Lincoln a distant second. But on the second ballot, the Pennsylvania delegation switched to Lincoln, putting him in a near-tie with Seward. On the third ballot many additional delegates switched to Lincoln, and he won the GOP nomination.

In the 1860 General Election, Lincoln won with 39.8 percent of the popular vote; Stephen Douglas,

29.46 percent; John C. Breckinridge, 18.10 percent, and John Bell, 12.61 percent.

It’s easy to visualize how the 2016 General Election might end as it did in 1860.

Each year teachers from the Escondido Union School District’s 23 schools submit grant proposals to EEF for consideration. Selection is based on the grant applicant’s creativity, clarity, impact and potential replicability of their project idea.

EEF has been awarding three different levels of grant awards: school-wide grants up to $5,000, team or grade level grants up to $2,500 each, and individual grant awards up to $500 each. Since 2005, the EEF has funded over 350 EUSD teacher grant awards totaling close to $500,000, and teachers from each of the 23 schools have won a grant.

The EEF is a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation founded to raise funds to support innovative learning in Escondido’s K-8 public schools.

Pinky is pet of the week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society. She’s an 8 month old, 29 pound, Terrier / Shepherd mix.

Pinky is still a puppy. Her previous family got her when she was tiny. They decided she was going to be too big so they asked Rancho Coastal Humane Society to find her new home.

Pinky will be an average size dog. She’s happy and likes everyone she meets.

The $145 adoption fee for Pinky includes medical exam, vaccinations, spay, and microchip. For more information call 760-753-6413, visit Rancho Coastal Humane Society at 389 Requeza Street in Encinitas, or log on to SDpets.org.

Missy, a 13-year-old Domestic Short Hair mix, is looking for a loving place to rest her paws. This sweet gal was brought in by her previous owners and while she had some difficulty adjusting to shelter life initially, she is now very loving with her caregivers. Missy would love a nice, quiet home to spend her golden years, perhaps with a nice window where she can watch birds and nap in the sun.

She’s very calm and easy-going, and will definitely make a wonderful companion! Missy is available for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus at 3450 East Valley Parkway.

Pastor Richard Huls, Retired A Time For All Things

A magazine (booklet) that I enjoy is The Old Far mers Almanac, a publication that has been around since 1792. There have been a few changes over the years (what hasn’t changed?) but the basic items are much the same – weather predictions, celestial schedules, tidal schedules, earthquake predictions, quaint stories and articles, homey bits of philosophy, and often helpful sug gestions on gardening.

I especially love that section, because it tells when to plant by the phase of the Moon – crops that bear above ground during the light, or waxing, of the Moon and flowering bulbs and vegetables that bear below ground, i.e., potatoes and carrots, during the dark, or waning,

There is a right time for everything, the Biblical writer, Ecclesiastes, says. A gardening quote I like is, “There is a time to sow and a time to reap.” Applied to living, there is a time for sowing and a time for reaping. We apply this often when we look at what happens to us. If we examine closely enough, we often will find we are the recipients of our own doing. It is a time of harvest, not always a good one, but always certain. We create our own destiny. The positive side is that if we want to reap love, kindness, respect, order, gratitude, and forgiveness, we must practice these traits to receive such in return. God will give growth to these values so that we can enjoy their return. The more time we spend in fostering them, the more the reward.

When is the best time to sow?

How about today! There is no time to waste if we want the best out of life. I cannot wait until October to plant garden seeds, if I want vegetables in July. As Robert Browning, the poet, so eloquently says, “Put in the plow and plant the great hereafter in the now.”

Maintaining the integrity of the roads for motorists is a priority for the city of Vista. With the use of a slurry seal process which fills the surface cracks and spaces, the city is able to provide the most efficient and cost-effective preventive maintenance designed to extend the life of the roads. The citywide slurry seal project begins in April and runs through July. Check the city website for a list of the streets included in the project.

Construction on the two new skate parks begins next month with completion scheduled for later in the year. The first park will be

constructed as a bowl site on the northwest corner of N. Santa Fe and Orange, and the second park, located on the west side of N. Santa Fe, between California and Connecticut, will be constructed as a streetscape site.

The nature trail and creek improvements through Brengle Terrace Park are nearing completion, connecting the existing trail from the west end of the park to Wildwood Park. A boardwalk and two pedestrian bridges over Buena Vista Creek will be completed in June.

Areas have been cordoned off to establish the new vegetation and to avoid the plants from being trampled.

“Who Ya Gonna Call?”

Buying a new desktop or laptop can be complicated and confusing. In some ways it’s like buying a house or car. You want to buy the product that best fits your needs at a reasonable price. Retired couples don’t usually need a five bedroom house and “soccer moms” with four kids don’t drive a “smart car.” A high power, expensive PC might be an excellent investment for a “day trader” or design engineer but for most business and home users the high end features would do nothing to improve performance, it would be a waste of money.

Larger businesses have IT (information technology) personnel to handle the interface between users and computer vendors. Part of their job is to make sure

the business buys the right computers and peripherals at the right price for each of the many functions in their business environment. They must provide a balance between price, quality, maintenance and performance. The typical IT is a trained hands-on expert in maintaining the enterprise network and business applications software. While ITs are usually not experts in PC hardware specifications and maintenance, it is their job to manage the purchase and maintenance contracts with the vendors that do have that expertise.

As a small business owner or home PC user you don’t have the luxury of an IT professional at your beck and call. You have no one to blame when your new PC doesn’t really match your needs. So how do you make sure that you are making the right decision? You could list all of the things you need your PC to do, then do Internet research to determine the best fit for your needs. If you are careful to research only independent sites and avoid “sponsored” and vendor sites (Dell, HP, Microsoft, Apple etc), within a matter of days you can become your own IT pro.

If you don’t have the kind of time that allows you to become your own IT pro you might visit one of the “big box” (Fry’s, Best Buy, Staples, Office Max/Depot etc.) for some “professional” advice. Good luck with that. The sales staff in the “big box” stores may talk a good show but they are not “computer”

John Smylie

January 14, 1934 - March 19, 2016

John met his wife Charlene Whitney at a UCLA frat party. They married in Ely, England in 1959.

At that time he worked for Douglas Aircraft setting up Thor missile bases. He had four children in West LA, then moved to Virginia where he worked for TRW and designed high speed rails for DOT. He bought his avocado farm in 1964 and moved back to West LA. Every weekend, he taught his family to love the outdoors by sleeping under the stars, as he explained constellations to his small children. He never ran out of energy as he attended law school while working for TRW, managing the farm, and raising four children.

Moving to San Marcos in 1975, he set up his law practice which is still a family business today.

Education:

He holds four college degrees, a BS

He was a co-founding member of the Board of Directors of Los Caballeros de Aventura, (The Gentlemen of Adventure) now known as the Young Adventurers, helping at risk youth in Escondido and San Marcos; more recently the organization serves mostly San Marcos at-risk youth.

He was a Circle K International advisor for CSUSM and Palomar College, a member of Kiwanis club of San Marcos, donated time and funds through the John and Charlene Smylie Foundation to students, the zoo, and other non profit organizations, touching many lives. He belonged to the Chamber of Commerce of San Marcos, Escondido, and was the attorney for the Valley Center Chamber of Commerce.

Passions:

He toiled in the fields of engineering and law to support his true passion of working his avocado farm and flower fields where he drove his tractor and enjoyed teaching his four children and six grandchildren strong work ethics by digging irrigation ditches, planting and picking avocados, and running the farm. He and his wife loved travel and often took his family on vacations enjoying the

professionals, they are “sales” professionals. They know what’s in stock and what pays them the highest commission and they don’t know or care what you want or need. When you try to tell your “professional” what you really need their eyes will glaze over and they’ll palm you off on the “rookie” sales dude they hired just last week.

As a last resort you might try the “MacTavish gambit.” Named after our old friend, Angus MacTavish, this strategy is based on the premise that everyone is out to cheat you anyway so the best way to minimize your exposure is to always buy the cheapest. Angus still drives a Yugo.

churches and museums of the world.

Words of wisdom: The success of the family law practice, he promoted, “we will bump heads, but we’re family and will always forgive each other.” He encouraged us “not to place blame, but to work through problems and fix them.” His philosophy was “The law practice isn’t to create problems, it is to solve problems.”

If you happen to blunder into the The Computer Factory you’ll find we do things a little differently. First we listen, then we ask questions. It doesn’t matter how simple or complex the need, we can meet it. We can configure a desktop or notebook from four hundred to four thousand dollars with whatever makes sense for your business, school or home needs. We’ve been doing that for over twenty years. What we can’t sell you is a two hundred and fifty dollar “MacTavish.”

Cosmetic - Ceramic (NonMetallic) Crowns - Smile Enhancements

Ceramic, Non-Metallic Crowns are the current rave for Cosmetic Smile Enhancements. Everyone wants teeth that, once restored, “Brightens Your Smile” and gives you that overall “Glow” your face has begun to miss as we age and begin to wrinkle and tarnish a bit. Some of the old metal crowns caused allergic reactions and current research indicates they may be contributing to cancer formation. Metal crowns had been replaced in the mid-1960’s by porcelain jacket crowns.

But by the mid-1980’s these crowns showed a 25% chance of failing after 11 years, with failure rates on posterior

teeth going much higher!

Fortunately, in 1983 Horn, Simonsen and others introduced the first bonded porcelain crowns. Although these crowns didn’t fracture as often, they frequently came loose from their underlying teeth because their dental cements didn’t adhere well to dentin.

Today, along with the development of newer cements, the modern day all-ceramic crowns have arrived. These new systems not only stay bonded to teeth well, they can also be categorized into two groups: those that are translucent and very natural in appearance and those that are more opaque having a higher-strength core that resist extreme chewing forces. Both are fabricated without a metal backing and therefore do not show their metal (called “shine through”) up by the gum line as their owner’s gums recede with age.

There are several companies producing various formulations of these ceramics and

supplying them to the dental labs for crowns and bridges.

Just to keep it simple, the opaque, stronger crowns are made from a Zirconia core and used in posterior teeth because they can withstand the stronger forces exerted in that region. The translucent, more color adjustable crowns are made from a pressured ceramic and are thus mostly used for anterior teeth. For those who have very strong bites and/or grind at night we now have a third option which allows us to “layer” porcelain onto the Zirconia based crowns resulting in stronger anterior teeth that won’t chip with their night-

time grinding!

In general the dentist will pick the appropriate cosmetic crown for you based on several factors including how much support is needed, whether the teeth are discolored, how much of the tooth is remaining, whether it will show when you’re speaking, eating, smiling, etc., as well as how much clearance you have with the opposing teeth, where your gum line is located, and finally, the color of your teeth. If you have an “unusual” color disposition, then the translucent crown may be the best choice!
