The Beatles/Paul McCartney - "Hey Jude" (for Cynthia Lennon)


Two great women passed away in the past two days.  Both were famous mainly because of the men of whom they were a wife and/or mother.

Barbara "Babs" Platts is Todd Platts mother.  Todd has served York County in various ways for a long time - as state Rep., U.S. Rep, and now judge.  Even though I disagree with 99.999% of his political views, I'm sure she is very proud of him.  Here's a great article about Mrs. Platts - including her famous fudge recipe!  http://www.ydr.com/local/ci_27820247/barbara-babs-platts-mother-former-u-s-rep

And of course, Cynthia Powell Lennon - former wife of John, and Julian's mom.  I always liked that she stayed true to herself and didn't put up with John's crap.  If there is a heaven, I hope she's up there giving him hell :)

Here's the song that Paul wrote for Julian when John and Cynthia got divorced.  I hope both women would enjoy a nice singalong tribute.
