Citando:
"Pepperland, which premiered at Liverpool’s Sgt Pepper at 50 festival in 2017, is a collaboration between choreographer Mark Morris and composer Ethan Iverson – and one of many productions to have been inspired by the Fab Four. When I meet the pair, on the eve of the show’s UK and Ireland tour, I ask if they ever saw the 1978 Sgt Pepper film starring the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton as the one and only Mr Billy Shears. “Oh my God, that’s the worst thing in the world,” says Morris with mock horror. How about Julie Taymor’s Beatles fantasia Across the Universe? “It. Is. A. Nightmare,” he declares, drawing out the last word. Then, of course, there’s the hit Vegas show Love, created – Morris grimaces – by “Cirque du fucking Soleil”."

"

John Lennon and Yoko Ono found themselves in some curious positions with the pursuit of their art. Whether it’s in front of the world’s news naked in their bed or screaming into microphones to try and make music, the pair weren’t shy about sharing. So when they were offered the opportunity to take over an hour of television on TV station WNET they jumped at the chance.

The station opened its doors on October 14, 1971 to John and Yoko and gave it’s broadcast to Yoko Ono, John Lennon, and Jonas Mekas’ performance of excerpts from Ono’s “Of a Grapefruit in the World of Park.” The curious performance offers a glimpse into the working mind of John and Yoko. It’s a strange and liberating place to be."

2019-02: Um filme sobre o mundo sem os Beatles?

Não. Um filme com o Ed Sheeran em Liverpool, parece-me:

Citando:
"Novo filme de Danny Boyle, realizador de "Quem Quer Ser Bilionário", é sobre um mundo onde apenas uma pessoa sabe quem é o grupo de Liverpool. Ed Sheeran é um dos atores, com um papel relevante como si próprio."

2019-02: Mercedes de George Harrison...

... vai a leilão no Catawiki:
https://www.motor24.pt/sites/jornal-dos-classicos/o-mercedes-benz-de-george-harrison-dos-beatles/

Citando:
"O coupé vermelho metalizado esteve em posse da família Harrison durante quase duas décadas, primeiro registado no nome de Harold Heargraves Harrison, pai de George. Em 1979 passou para as mãos do guitarrista dos The Beatles que o manteve em sua posse até 1981 e por fim foi propriedade do seu primo Paul Harrison.

Em Agosto de 1989, a Christie’s levou o Mercedes-Benz a leilão e mesmo foi adquirido a um empresário discográfico de Londres. Passado apenas um ano o automóvel chegou a Barcelona para ser leiloado de novo na Feria del Disco del Coleccionista. Durante o leilão não recebeu qualquer licitação e o dono de uma importante loja de discos pagou o valor mínimo de reserva e juntou-o à sua colecção particular, na qual permaneceu quase trinta anos."

2019-02: As discussões em Let it be

"We'll be faced with a crisis,' Paul frets.

'When I'm up against the wall, Paul, you'll find me at my best. I think I've got Sunday off,' says John.

'I hope you can deliver.'

'I hope was a little rock and roller, Sammy with his mammy,' mocks John, falling into word play.

There was nothing more that Paul could say.

'I think we've been very negative since Mr Epstein passed away,' Paul reflected, probably to director Michael Lindsay-Hogg, unaware that he was being recorded. 'We probably do need a central daddy figure to say, 'Come on. It's nine o'clock. Leave the girls at home.' '

But John wasn't going to leave his new girl at home. So, Paul was walking on eggshells, acutely aware of what might happen if he, or the others, complained too loudly.

'There are only two things to do,' we hear him reasoning. 'One is to fight and to get The Beatles back to being four people without Yoko, and to ask her to sit down at board meetings. The other is just to accept that she's there, because there is no way that John is going to split with Yoko for our sakes. He's going overboard. He always goes overboard.

'If it came to the push between Yoko and The Beatles it would be John for Yoko. John would just say to us: 'Okay. I'll see you then.' And we're not wanting that to happen.'"
