This just in from noted Hellboy, Tom Redmond.

"Yesterday Joanne and I went to an all-day event at Monmouth University focused on the 50th Anniversary of the Beatles’ arrival in the US.  There were a variety of panel discussions and some live performances – overall a very good day supported by exceptional research and professionalism.
 
The final panel was made up of several musicians including the original (1972) drummer in Bruce Springsteen’s East Street Band.  A question to the panel regarding how much the Beatles influenced the original Springsteen line up. The drummer, Vin Lopez, responded, “We only listened to King Crimson”.  Joanne jumped out of her seat and threw an enthusiastic elbow into my side.  I must say that Vin’s comment and the flying elbow took my breath away."
