Beatle fan hits jackpot while cleaning out rubbish.

I love these kinds of stories.  It is so rare when things like this happen, but when I hear that they do it makes me smile.  Granted, I am smiling out of envy and jealousy, but it is stories like this that give me hope that one day I will be lucky enough to stumble [...]

Paul McCartney ready to tour, more news.

It looks like Paul is ready to hit the road as a touring unit once again.  I always like to play a guessing game when Paul announces a new tour.  I wonder what the set list would look like?  I hope we hear some rare gems on this tour.  I know he has to play [...]

Heather Mills surprised by positive reaction + VIDEO.

I must admit that I despise the fact that Heather Mills has remained in the public eye.  That is probably why you see little news about Heather Mills here on the blog. Those reality shows make my head spin.  These people remain famous for being famous, and they happen to dance.  It makes my head [...]

Lennon’s imagine named top song for over-50’s.

It looks like the baby boomer generation has spoken.  You know, all of these polls just knock me out.  I crack up almost every time they come out.  Some of the polls are dead on, some of the mediocre, but the majority of them are out there somewhere in left-field.  This one is all over [...]

Beatles’ download press release explained.

It looks like the Wippit file downloading service press release that went out two weeks ago that pronounced the advent of Beatle downloads was simply an accident.  I guess we all jumped the gun a little in the hopes that the downloads that were available were finally THE remasters.  
While exciting still, these downloads were news video clips.
The [...]

Paul eyeing fall tour to promote new album.

It really does look like we will have a busy year on the Beatle front.  We have the Wilbury re-issues which look more than impressive in various configurations.  There are not one, but two Rinog albums coming out on the horizon.  Yoko Ono even has a second album of remixes coming out next month. What more can a Beatle fan ask [...]

Upcoming McCartney album to feature “new” and “old” material.

This is an interesting take on the album that is hotly anticiapated for several reasons.  I mean we all look forward to new Beatle material, but this one seems a little more “special” than the others. I particularly want to see what Paul follows Chaos with.  I loved Chaos and Creation, and wonder how he can keep the [...]

Will the real original Beatles’ hotel please step forward?

It looks like there is a bit of scandal and finger poitning going on in the world of Beatle-themed tourist hot spots.   The hotly anticipated “A Hard Day’s Night Hotel” is claiming to be the first Beatles’ themed hotel, but there are some folks at the Strawberry Fields in Blackpool that disagree with that claim. 
Here’s [...]

Beatles themed coffe shoppe opens in London.

It looks like there may be a new destination to visit for all the Beatle freaks in London.  It seems that The Abbey Road cafe is getting a new lease on life as The Beatles Coffee Shop.  What a cool idea.  It is run by longtime, and well-known Beatle historian and tour guides, Richard and [...]

Where’s Brando: Sgt. Pepper photo session anniversary remembered.

It seems that the photo session that produced the cover for the Sgt. Pepper’s album is celebrating an anniversary this week.  We can all heap superlatives on this one I suppose, iconoclastic, groundbreaking, innovative….the list could go on and on.  Not only was the music completely new, but the album artwork was innovative and envelope-pushing too.  [...]
