It says in imdb.com that Paul and George made cameos at the end of the
film. If that's true, do you have still images of it?

I hated the film - I'd rather step on a landmine than watch that again.

Cindy...
That's false.


DC...
I would take the film over the land mine.

I've seen it recently on cable, and there's a certian nostalgia
associated with it. There are also some nice versions of the songs in it.

I realize that one is supposed to hate it.

What I don't understand is, who is Paul Nichols? He was also in "Tommy".

MFalc1...
[and in Ken Russell's LISZTOMANIA]

I have a feeling he was a Stigwood client.

MFalc1...
Nicholas did have a minor late 70's hit in the U.S. called "Heaven on
the Seventh Floor".

BlackMonk...
He'd also been around since the early sixties and had played with Lord
Sutch.

The song was the spiritual father of Aerosmith's later "Love in an
Elevator".

On a similar note......

Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler will never forget his first meeting
with Paul McCartney because the former Beatle gave him his famous
thumbs-up greeting in a men's toilet.

Tyler and McCartney first met in the late 1970s when Aerosmith covered
The Beatles' Come Together for the movie Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts
Club Band.

Tyler remembers: "I was in a backstage urinal at the Hammersmith Odeon
(in London).

"McCartney walked in, started doing what people do in urinals.

"For the record, I did not check his size out, but I'm taking this p**s
f**king love your music' and he gives me the famous thumbs up with his
one free hand. Well, that snapped my stream, right there.

"It turned out to be quite a night, that one. I recall fat ones being
smoked and a lot of wrestling on the floor."
