...From mid-1965 onwards he learned how to inject his feelings into his songwriting. One thinks of the reflections in "In My Life" - "Though I know I'll never lose affection for people and things that went before..." and the lines in "Help!" - "When I was younger , so much younger than today...." He was still only 24 when he wrote those words. An old soul indeed...
...wife rather shabbily. The divorce settlement, while broadly in line with the conventions of the day, was not the act of a generous or gracious man. His laudable devotion to his second son, Sean, was partly in reaction to the guilt of his neglect of his first son, Julian.

MMW kept them moving, for the most part, putting together a solid night of original jams along with...
...Though Queensbury's polemics are occasionally melodramatic, his voice rising in pitch too quickly to sustain the rest of the speech, he successfully develops the attention-starved, almost crazed qualities the part requires. Stephen Fritsch '03, whose Irish accent is nearly impeccable, overcomes the fact that he looks nothing at all like Shaw and becomes the endearing rotund, white-haired, and belligerent playwright...
