I for one am not the kind to begrudge anyone the material benefits of success. I only wish success could come on a small scale basis, at least as far as rock groups are concerned. When I saw Yes as a freshman, I could at my leisure amble down to the Orpheum box office a few days after tickets had gone on sale, avoid that claustrophobia-inducing crowd, and still get a pair of pretty decent seats. This year I had to go to the Garden box office the night before tickets went on sale and brave the pouring rain the following day in order to wind up with a couple of 16th row seats. The taste of success is indeed sweet. Yes at the Boston Garden Wednesday, December 11, at 8.

A horse stumbles that hath four legs. In the case of George "Dark Horse" Harrison, one might extend that proverb to include a certain two-legged species. From all that I've heard, there still seems to be a lot of wrinkles left to iron out in Harrison's present tour. Let's hope the horse regains his footing at least in time for the Boston date.
