Beatles for sale on bootleg tape.

Folks, it is a great time to be a Beatles fan.  More specifically, it is a great time to be a collector of Beatles memorabilia and those grey market recordings.  Historical artifacts such as these seem to keep popping up all over the place.

I certainly hope it eventually makes the rounds on the bootleg collecting [...]

Kate to play Lennon’s mother?

I have a confession to make.  OK, maybe not a confession, but…well you’ll see.  You know how spouses and couples have that list.  You know, the list.  The one that illustrates those celebrities in that hypothetical light.  The list is populated by those celebrity crushes that your spouses says it’s OK to have a relationship [...]

VIDEO: The Beatles’ Shakespeare spoof from “Around the Beatles in full color

Awesome news clip.  I had not seen this in color.

In 1964, in honour of Shakespeare’s 400th birthday, the Beatles performed this play-within-a-play on “Around the Beatles.”

* I did not colourise this skit, it’s from a DVD called “the Beatles Explosion”
One of these days Apple and The Beatles will release a definitive [...]

A fan’s fab memories of Beatles’ yesterdays.

It must have been really cool to be part of The Beatles machine.  Imagine being but a small cog that makes the PR monster of The Fab Four move.  It all looked so seamless, but there were many many behind the scenes folks making magic happen.  I cannot imagine a 17 year old working in [...]

Paul McCartney to play Tel Aviv 43 years after Israel banned the Beatles

Paul has been wowing fans all summer with a series of special one-off concerts.  Liverpool, Kiev, and Ontario.  It’s been an impressive summer.  It looks like the special concert series will continue with one more show.  This time it’s in Israel.
First the show was cancelled, but now it looks like it is back on, and [...]

History: The Beatles started a revolution that changed us all forever

It’s hard to remember in this day and age the true power that a pop musical group had on the world back in the 1960’s.  I did not grow up in that era, sadly I was born too late.  It’s hard for me to fathom a musical group, and a musical movement that effects real [...]

In pictures: Beatles Magical Mystery Tour unseen footage.

Ohh…I love when new footage surfaces.  It’s very exciting.  All of the well-known moments and images are burned into most fan’s brains.  We’ve seen more than we know what to do with the Fab Four.  It’s always a huge deal to me when new images are “found.”  We get these stolen moments that we were [...]

John Lennon ‘back in Liverpool.’

I’ve been so out of the loop lately.  I didn’t even know that they were making a film about John Lennon.  I know, I know…a lot of you are thinking that we do not need another film about Lennon.  This one looks different though.  It’s filled with a wholly different perspective on the young life [...]

The artistic side of the fifth Beatle: Stuart Sutcliffe.

There are only a handful of stories and people that fascinate me in the Beatle world.  I am absolutley fascinated with John Lennon.  I want to know what it was like in the Dakota from 1975-1980.  I stay awake at night thinking about what it must have been like to be a fly on the [...]

Paul McCartney returns to England to see grandchild.

That’s Paul’s grandfather…he’s very clean.

Okay, that may not be Paul’s grandfather, Paul is a grandfather himself, again.  Paul had taken a break from his cross-country United States trip to see his newborn grandchild.  This family trip is a little bit different this time though.

Paul has his new girlfriend, Nancy Shevell, in tow to meet the [...]
