May 22

and for most of us boomers... Paul, John, George, and Ringo made us aware that there was an Ed Sullivan "really big shoe"... so if it is really over, Paul flipping the breaker was appropriate.

I know 2 things... it was a great finale... and I am Sangry ( Sad and Angry ) that it is over and why it is over.

Fuck Trump and Fuck the Ellisons.
