John Lennon paper crane project.

One crafty, peace-advocating, blogger has taken to a new project that you all may take an interest in.  They are making paper oragami cranes and placing them in public places.  You may ask, “Why is this on a Beatle blog?”  Well, it seems that they are creating cranes with the lyrics to Imagine written on them. 
I was just in [...]

VIDEO: Ringo’s House of Blues appearance.

Ringo has been all over our blog recently with mixed reasoning.  He’s been stumping for his latest release, Liverpool 8.   The reviews have been mostly positive.  So far I have personally had time to listen all the way through, but what I have heard I love.  It’s a nice new modern direction for our dear [...]

Cash in the attic after Beatles visit

It’s every rock and roll collector’s dream.  It’s almost become cliche over the years.  A huge group (i.e. The Beatles) visit your small town just as they are becoming famous.  You scour over relatives long-forgotten belongings or accidently hit a goldmine at a flea market while looking for old furniture.  Accidentally you strike memorabilia gold.
I [...]

The Fab Four take their places for theme hotel’s grand opening

 After much speculation, reports, and rumors.  It looks like it is finally time for the Hard Day’s Night hotel to open for business.  It has been a long time coming.  I think, the news of this hotel has been 3 years or more in the works. The grand opening is finally upon us all. 
It looks, though, [...]

Banned Beatles get Israel invite

I’m not sure how significant this invitation really is.  I mean I know that the Fabs were quite controversial when they first cracked it big, but don’t you think an invite like this is really to long overdue?  While it is really a nice idea, part of me thinks too little too late.
I would beg [...]

Yoko discusses John’s erotic art, warming up to Paul, Ringo.

It’s not easy being Yoko Ono these days.  Each time I mention that Yoko is presenting an art show highlighting her past work, and the work of her husband, lots of folks chime in and yell that she is busy exploiting her and her husband’s past for the name of making a buck.  I don’t [...]

Ringo walks off `Regis’ over song flap.

It’s really been a tough week and a half for our boy Ringo.  First he snubs Liverpool, now this.  It seems that Ringo is throwing more tantrums than most rock stars half his age.  Hopefully, this diva-like behavior doesn’t tarnish his good boy reputation.

I mean, it’s not like his antics have hit Britney-like levels, but you never [...]

Beatles Ringo Starr offends Liverpool

I have to admit that when I first read the headline for this article, I thought it was from one of those spoof websites, or from the Onion.  At first glance I thought it was making fun of his latest album and single.  Then I realized that it was true.  How could Ringo manage to create such a [...]

Could we get an iTunes Superbowl announcement (Take II).

Could the rumors be true this time?  We’ll have to tune into the game and see.  I personally don’t think it will happen just yet.  I’d much rather see a press conference/announcement on its own, then a commercial during the Super Bowl, but I’ll take what I can get at this point.  Time will tell.
Is this [...]

AUDIO: Interview Astrid Kirchherr

 It’s rare that we post two nearly identical posts one after the other, but here’s another update on some Beatle related photos.  Astrid Kirchher has a new book out.  Instead of completely focusing on the group’s time in Hamburg, this book has a slightly different take on their history.
Yesterday: The Beatles Once Upon A Time [...]
