Oh, why can't we get a tribute like that here in Detroit? THere are Beatles fans here. YOu can't walk down the street without seeing an image of the FAbs hanging in some shop window or go to any musical event without at least one Beatles song getting played. and with the Krishna Temple here in the beautiful Fisher Mansion, it's perfect for a George tribute.
