Richard Di Lello

Served as the "house hippie" (formally termed Client Liaison Officer) for the Beatles' Apple Corps headquarters in London from 1968-1970; his duties included promotional campaigns for the Beatles, Badfinger, and other artists who appeared on Apple Records. He later published a memoir of his experiences (including firsthand accounts from the Beatles' breakup) titled "The Longest Cocktail Party".

I'm hoping that DEA (1990) will provide a platform for education, responsible but realistic advocacy of the problems we are facing, as well as being good storytelling.
