was 20 or so years ago, when I was talking with a young associate lawyer I worked for about my seeing the Beatles in Shea Stadium in 1965. (I don't know how we got on that subject except he was interested in entertainment law) ANYWAY, his reaction to my story was "Oh I wish I had been alive then!" Thanks, kid. :-/
