THE GREETING COMMITTEE​


pp224-5
John showing off his T-shirt, gifted from the four fans he nicknamed 'The Greeting Committee' - Marie Lacey, Robin Titone, Goldie Friede and Barbara McDede.

Marie Lacey: 'My friends Robin, Goldie, Barbara and I used to go see John every day while he was recording at Record Plant and he gave us the nickname "The Greeting Committee". We made up a T-shirt for him and he surprised us by wearing it the very next day! I set up the picture (asked John to open his jacket so we could read the writing) and he asked me "how", so l opened up his jacket for him (yes I did!!). And Robin took this picture!'

Opposite: Further pictures taken by Marie Lacey.

I wonder what his palm reads.(forgive me if it does go into that, in the book.) I've thought about getting a palm reading before, just to know what may be there.

Off topic slightly, but I'm also curious how accurate that time is on his birth certificate. (I'm sure that is all he ever knew it as and why not if that's what it says..)
Being that he was born during the height of WW2 in England, I've read that sometimes the times were written when the paper was filed, or an rounded estimate of arrival time. (As in if one was born between 6-620 it was rounded to 6 and 630-7 was rounded to 630. Just to make the typing easier) Sometimes the clerical work was saved for the end of the day or shift, due to too much going on and the time was actually reflecting when it was being done instead of actual time of birth.
It just seems rare when babies are born on the dot to the hour or half hour mark...though it does very much happen!
I'm sure even if it's not down to the very minute, it was close to it, taking a little bit of Mimi's story of the event into consideration. Also there is a 9 connection there as well, 630 (6+3+0=9 😉) and if that's what it says, then by George..erm John, then that's what it is!
