...other night in which Al figured prominently. I dreamt that, when he was born 61 years ago in East Cambridge, where he still lives, the infant Al Vellucci raised his hand to stop the attending midwife from slapping him into the first breath of life, and offering his pink paw to the woman, said, "How are va.")

Just to offer one example, his notion of enhancing a song like When I'm Sixty-Four is to have two doddering floor-to-ceiling puppets paw lewdly at each other. As for plot, he tells a fragmentary tale of a Candide-like rock singer, Billy Shears (Ted Neeley), who meets and marries Strawberry Fields (Kay Cole)-the characters are christened from Beatles' songs. But Billy loses her to death and his own integrity to Maxwell's Silver...
