I HATE getting into a cold bed on a cold night.
I HATE to listen to radios that have not been tuned in right.
I HATE driving in cities because of the traffic, or driving in the fog. We get ridiculous fog in London and you haven't the "foggiest" where you're headed.
I HATE cinemas with hard seats - which is most of them.
I HATE to have to sit still anywhere for very long.
I HATE records that have been recorded badly, so that you hear too much drums or bass - or the likes.
I HATE to see bad photos of artist on the LP covers.
I HATE most dressing rooms. They are diabolical. You are poked in this little hole with a couple of chairs and a table - and your group, gear and two road managers!
I HATE girls who deliberately laugh too loudly.
I HATE girls who are un-feminine.
I HATE badly written stories about pop groups. Most of them are just slapped together or made up, excepting 16.
I HATE to meet a girl who can't think of a thing to say. It's so embarrassing. We just stand there and stare at each other.
I HATE girls with their hair cut like boys. It's the rage in England now and it looks horrible.
I LUV Ollie Beak. That's an English puppet show on TV.
I LUV delicate, feminine girls.
I LUV girls who wear simple, elegant clothing.
I LUV cats. I've got a grey one named "Smokey."

I LUV driving at night as well - for a long time.
I LUV knee-length boots on girls.
I LUV American telly cartoons like The Flintstones.
I LUV Bobby Darin's LPs. He's fantastic.
I LUV being alone sometimes. It's good to get to oneself once in a while.
I LUV your state of Texas - it was so warm and beautiful.
I LUV listening to Roger Miller LPs on my stereo set. They are perfectly produced and the sound is wonderful.
I LUV taking showers. We don't have many in England, so I go wild with them when I'm Stateside.
I LUV raw vegetables - especially carrots.

I HATE semolina - it's a kind of sweet rice pudding.
I HATE heavy traffic. It's so frustrating if you are in a hurry.
I HATE helicopters. We rode in one to get on stage in Oklahoma City and it nearly scared me half bonkers. You feel just as though you are about to fall out!
I HATE scruffy, untidy girls.
I HATE travelling in trains, especially British trains. They are so stuffy you can't breathe.
I HATE to see animals put in cages.
I HATE people pulling me hair and asking if it's real. At the rate that's being done, I'll soon have none.

I HATE bossy people.
I HATE girls who barge into your hotel suite or dressing room and start demanding things.
I HATE for a policeman to stop me and ask for an autograph for his "niece" or some relative.
I HATE to get caught in big crowds. Sometimes the kids don't realize that they can hurt you - even though they don't intend to.
I LUV all animals. Dogs are my favorites and I hope one day to have a big collie. I couldn't look after one properly at this time, however.
I LUV flying on jets - they are so fast and smooth.

I LUV girls with long, long hair.
I LUV to listen to Pete Cowap play the guitar. He is a Manchester lad who is really original.
I LUV eating. My fave dishes are filet of steak, chips and fried onions.
I LUV the open friendliness of American girls. They are so enthusiastic.
I LUV any kind of music.
I LUV NBC-TV's Hullabaloo. It is a nifty, fast, well put-together show.

I HATE white make-up on girls. It makes them look like ghosts.
I HATE bad hotels with lousy service. When we're on the road, we have to live in hotels and we depend on good service for our food and other necessities.
I HATE breaking a drumstick. You have to lean over right in the middle of the act and pick up another - and keep the beat!
I HATE the way they cook food in most restaurants - it is overdone and soggy.
I HATE too-tight jeans on girls.

I HATE reckless drivers - people who cut you off or drive too fast.

I LUV a crisp salad with a fried egg on top (honest!) and a dish of chips on the side.
I LUV to see girls in simple skirts and blouses and not in slacks.
I LUV to see girls wear their hair very long or very short with fringes (bangs, I think you call them).
I LUV American people, American weather, and Americans cars. In fact, I luv just about everything in America.
I LUV the little budgie (bird) I used to have, even though he flew away one day not too long ago.
I LUV cows. They are comforting.
I LUV anything that is red or blue.
I LUV boats.
I LUV listening to loud radios in cars.
I LUV girls who aren't afraid to speak to you. Americans girls are easy to get on with because they aren't afraid to say hello.
I LUV England when it snows, especially when you don't expect it, and you wake up in the morning and see everything covered by a lovely white blanket.
I LUV meeting the local people in some of the smaller towns we visited in America, especially those down South. Everyone was casual, but very hospitable.
I LUV old English villages with their quaint houses and inns.

I HATE to see girls wearing boys' boots.
I HATE traffic - looks like we all do.

I HATE to see girls wear too much make-up - like red lipstick and lots of pancake.

I HATE TV commercials, especially in the middle of a sunspense show.
I HATE having a haircut. It really gets me down.
I HATE to have to listen to modern jazz - it just doesn't make it with me.
I HATE to see girls in bell-bottomed jeans.

I LUV small, dark-haired girls.
I LUV American weather, especially when it's warm.
I LUV to listen to John Lennon sing.
I LUV my rings. The one on my left pinky is a gold one given to me by my mother. The next one is onyx and gold, and a girl in England gave it to me. On my right ring finger is a gold signet ring a girl in Harrogate gave to me - I never got her name. The silver identification bracelet I wear was given to me by an American girl named Brynda in Allentown, Pa.
I LUV horses. I used to work on a farm training them. All of us went riding when we were in Texas.
I LUV to see girls in fitted dresses with high heels on.
I LUV to read your letters - in fact, all of us do. So, if you have time, drop us a note at 200 W. 57th Street, New York City. We'll make sure each of you gets an answer.
