Marcy the Hippie from NYC
Mrs. Lennon’s Apple Farm
September / October 1992
The following is a phone conversation March had with Rich
while he was in New York from September 13 – September 18 (1972)
Rich: Hello? (sounding like he did in Help!)
Marcy: Hi (a little
weak voice). Am I disturbing you Ringo?
Rich: No, who is
this?
Marcy: Well, you
don’t know me, but I was wondering about something I was reading.
Rich: Yes?
Marcy: Well, is it
true that you are forming a new group?
Rich: Well, (pause)
actually not a formal group, just for a film I have been making.
Marcy: Oh, well
because I read it in a magazine so I was curious.
Ringo: How did you
know where I am staying?
Marcy: There was a
picture of you in the papers and you stayed at the Park Lane in June.
Ringo: You people are
too much (laughter).
Marcy: What do you
mean by that? I mean if we didn’t do this and hang out for 2 hours to get a
glimpse of you, you would probably wonder, right?
Rich: Yes, I guess
you are right about that.
Maureen was in the background, but couldn’t hear what was said.
Marcy: Okay it’s
really great speaking to you.
Rich: By the way,
what’s your name? I have been talking to
you and I don’t know your name.
Marcy: Marcy
Rich: Well, Marcy I
have to run, thanks for the chat.
Marcy: Oh, thank you.
Rich: Take care, oh
by the way, do you like T-Rex?
Marcy: I liked them
when they were still Tyrannosaurus Rex.
I have tickets to see them next week.
Rich: Oh, we might
go. Well, let me go now, take care and
be good. Thanks again.
Marcy: It’s
alright. Tell Maureen and the kids I said
hello.
Rich: Will do Marcy,
bye now
Marcy: bye
Who ARE these people who keep calling Ringo Rich or Richie. Are they supposed to be super cool or something? Gets on my nerves.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to have been the trendy thing to do in the early 1970s if you were a big Beatles fan. However -- notice that as soon as she talked to him, she called him Ringo. I doubt ANY of them called him "Rich" or "Richie" to his face.
