Ringo at the VMAs


 


September 9, 1992 -  MTV held the Video Music Awards on this date in 1992.   I remember watching it because there was a big to-do about Axel Rose and Kurt Cobain getting into it backstage.   Since  I was a Nirvana fan, I had tuned in to see them and to also see Pearl Jam.    I am certain that I saw Ringo and David Spade do this skit but I just can't recall what it was about.

First date with Paul







 

September 4, 2007 -

Paul went out on a date with model Elle Macpherson 15 years ago today.   He was being honored at the GQ Man of Year, and she was his date.   Now I have had several first dates over the past year, and they are always a little awkward.   I can't even begin to imagine what it must have been like to have your first date with Paul McCartney at a big awards banquet where he is the guest of honor.   As far as I know, there wasn't a 2nd date, and Paul started to date Nancy just two months later.

BMI Awards Dinner 1972



 May 25, 1972 -

I bought these negatives about a year ago.   For some reason I always thought they were later in the 1970s, but come to find out they were taken 50 years ago today.
