haha! i didn't know she announced her retirement ... it kinda makes me sad that she wrote homeward bound like a year later, and then spent the next 1000 years touring. oh well, she made a mint and NOW she can enjoy retirement in style.

That retirement lasted about 6 weeks.:laugh: That's actually pretty cool to see the Beatles & Christine together in that press release.:cool:

LOL.

Well, it would've been great if her and Dennis W. wouldn't have been so drunk, I could hardly understand what she was talking about. Turned that she asked for my name but when I said:"Debbie" she just signed her name with (what I assume) the words 'thank you'. There's no way I can read it hahahahaha.

He was drunk :lol: but he was nice. Chris handed him my tourbook for him to sign but he said:"No, they're here for you" (or something like that, his speech was slurred). He had a Beach Boys concert a couple of days before and they got pretty good feedback from the press and I told him about that. The only thing he said was:"That's nice" He couldn't care less. Chris said to come and see them again, we said yes, we will like good little girls and they took off (with a big bottle of Southern Comfort in between them :lol: )
