2019-06: Manchester city e Hey Jude?

https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/why-city-sing-hey-jude-16448998

Citando:
"With another epic season in store the rivalry is set to become even more important, so it is a little peculiar as to why a City anthem comes from a band that is Liverpool's most famous export.

Well according to Goal the chant originated in 1968 when City won their second first division title. 'Hey Jude' was also released that year and it soon became associated with City's most successful era at the time and it has stuck around since.


The chant then came back into fashion when Sergio Aguero clinched the title for City in 2012."

2019-06: John Lennon e a Escócia...

O acidente de Lennon em 1969 foi lá. O carro foi levado para a casa de Lennon para ele se lembrar. E nunca mais terá conduzido depois disso:

Citando:
"While Sir Paul McCartney’s links to Kintyre are well-documented, his fellow Beatle John Lennon also loved Scotland after spending many blissful summers north of the Border as a child. From the age of nine Lennon spent his summer holidays with his Aunt ‘Mater’ who had remarried and moved to Edinburgh. He would travel alone by bus to visit his aunt and his cousin Stanley Parkes in the capital and also at their family croft in Durness, Sutherland."

Citando:
"The document, said to have been signed by the band in the front room of Best's mother's house, was the first of two contracts drawn up between Epstein and The Beatles.

It gave Epstein responsibility for finding the band work, and managing their schedule and publicity.

He was also to oversee "all matters concerning clothes, make-up and the presentation and construction of the artists' acts and also on all music to be performed".

Mr Heaton said: "He was just blown away by the passion, the energy, the charisma, the raw sexuality on stage."

Citando:
"Ringo continued: “I do one ritual while I’m touring.

“That is an hour and half every night before I go on stage.


“I have a baked potato, some vegetables and a vegetable drink. And that keeps me settled.”


Last Christmas, Ringo joined Sir Paul McCartney for a Beatles reunion at the latter’s final O2 Arena performance."

2019-06: Yes homenageia John Lennon

Yes tocaram este mês ao vivo o Imagine.
Interessante relembrar que Alan White (que está nas últimas, ultimamente é provavelmente definitivamente) foi quem tocou a bateria do original com Lennon no disco dos anos 70:

2019-06: A canção que os Beatles deram aos...

... Rolling Stones? Editada mais tarde no With the Beatles:
https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/the-beatles-the-rolling-stones-i-wanna-be-your-man-story/

Citando:
"McCartney had originally penned the song before Lennon took over and finished the track while Macca was supposedly in the corner of a room talking to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Stones historian, Bill Janowitz, claimed that Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham “had almost literally bumped into Lennon and McCartney as they stepped out of a cab” and ushered them into the studio with Jagger and Richards.

Apparently, after having lunch together, the topic of the Stones lack of material for a new single had arisen and, by sheer coincidence, Lennon and McCartney had just finished up completing ‘I Wanna Be Your Man’ earlier that day at De Lane Lea Studio."

2019-06: The Korean Beatles?

2 Wembleys cheios com uma banda da... Coreia?
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/artists/behind-scenes-bts-korean-beatles-defy-boy-band-tradition-demand/

Citando:
"

all BTS the new John, Paul, George and Ringo and they will be polite if dismissive. “It is a bit of a burden to be called The Beatles of the 21st century,” 26-year-old band member Suga told journalists at a pre-concert press conference this weekend. “We want to be the BTS of the 21st century.” But the parallels are certainly valid.


Not only the most successful boy band in the world but the recipients of previously unthinkable international admiration akin to four boys from Liverpool unexpectedly becoming world-famous icons, BTS are a South Korean pop group of singers, dancers, lyricists and record producers, all in their early to mid-twenties and as surreally handsome as they are quick-footed on stage."
