Beatle Number 1: There was an art professor at school, who was active in India arts and culture, and who in my senior year (Spring 1973), sponsored various Indian related lectures. One of his events was an evening of Indian music, to be held in the campus chapel. My roommate and I had nothing better to do and decided to go. The audience had a few professors, a bunch of people interested in India, and about 30 students. Not advertised, but performing was Ravi Shankar. We were all thrilled. It turned out that that day was Shankar’s birthday. An audience member got up to help cut and serve the cake and it was George Harrison. Adults mingled and talked, but roommate and I were intimidated and stood in the corner saying to ourselves, “wait till our friends hear about this.” Beatle Number 2: I lived in Japan pretty much from college graduation in 1973 until 1983. In 1976, a friend and I went up to a resort town, Karuizawa (think Tahoe) a few hours drive from Tokyo. We were hanging out on the town’s main street and spotted this “hippie” strolling. Right behind him was a wild haired Japanese woman. As they passed us we realized that it was John and Yoko. The street dead-ended a few hundred yards away, and we knew they would come back and waited. As they passed by, John said, “Thanks for not making a fuss about us.” What amazed us, was that either the Japanese people there did not recognize them (impossible) or were too polite to react. Whatever the case, I got the impression that we were the only two people who knew who they were.
