PS: Uma boa ideia seria pedir aos Beatles vivos para o fazer. Seria un exercício interessante.

Citando:
"Embora tenha sido também o autor do primeiro calendário Pirelli e tenha realizado o filme The Touchables, um estudo sobre a Londres dos anos 60 em plena revolução juvenil, é então o seu trabalho com os Beatles que define a sua carreira. “Além de ser um óptimo profissional, ele era imaginativo e um verdadeiro pensador original. As pessoas pensam muitas vezes que a capa de Meet The Beatles com as nossas testas meio na sombra foi uma imagem cuidadosamente orquestrada num estúdio. Na verdade, foi feita muito rapidamente no corredor de um hotel em que estávamos [em Bournemouth], com a luz natural a entrar pelas janelas no fundo do corredor”, conta Paul McCartney num testemunho publicado no seu site."

Um dos motivos era o apoio do Eu à guerra do Vietname, outro foi a guerra do Biafra em que Portugal apoiava a parte que perdeu (o Biafra).
Citando:
"Britain supported Nigeria as did the US, USSR, Canada, Israel (until 1968) and several other states in Africa, Asia and Europe.

Biafra was supported by France, China, West Germany, Israel (after 1968), Portugal, Spain, the Vatican, South Africa and Rhodesia amongst others.

The conflict ended in 1970 with a Nigerian victory.

A blockade resulted in the deaths of 2 million civilians to famine and some sources estimate 4.5 million people were displaced."

2019-11: Ringo Starr fala da morte de Lennon

https://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/music/1198110/John-Lennon-death-The-Beatles-drummer-Ringo-Starr-Paul-McCartney

Citando:
"“But I just said, ‘We’ve got to get a plane.’

“We got a plane to New York, and you don’t know what you can do.

“We went to the apartment. ‘Anything we can do?’”

Starr added: “And Yoko just said, ‘Well, you just play with Sean. Keep Sean busy.’

“And that’s what we did. That’s what you think: ‘What do you do now?’

Barry Miles, McCartney’s friend since 1965, said: “The songwriting relationship and friendship was so deep that it transcended any bickering over money or management."

2019-11: E a música de Paul mais detestada por John Lennon é...

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, a melhor música pop de sempre de acordo com o estudo do artigo anterior:
https://www.express.co.uk/celebrity-news/1201972/beatles-news-john-lennon-paul-mccartney-openly-detested-ob-la-di-ob-la-da-spt

Citando:
"Lennon reportedly dubbed McCartney’s song as “more of Paul’s granny music”.

Modern Scientists on the other hand have recently analysed the song and agreed it is close to being the perfect pop song, along with two others: Invisible Touchy by Genesis and Hooked on a Feeling by BJ Thomas.

However, Lennon was also angered by his former bandmate’s song ‘Too Many People’. Reportedly, Lennon thought it was a dig at him and his wife, Yoko Ono.

It is well known that his wife was a controversial figure, and some thought the lyric – “That was your first mistake, you took your lucky break and broke it in two” – was McCartney’s way of reflecting that."

2019-11: A canção de Pop perfeita é dos Beatles...

E de acordo com o estudo é o... ob-la-di ob-la-da!
https://blitz.pt/principal/update/2019-11-09-A-ciencia-descobriu-a-cancao-pop-perfeita.-E-dos-Beatles

Citando:
"Os cientistas responsáveis pelo estudo analisaram 700 canções gravadas entre 1958 e 1991, avaliando cada acorde com base no efeito de "surpresa" que este tinha após outro acorde.

As sequências de acordes foram depois mostradas a 39 voluntários, sem as letras e melodias, de forma a que o original fosse irreconhecível.

A estes, foi-lhes pedido que avaliassem cada sequência de acordo com o prazer que retiravam de cada.

O estudo demonstrou que os voluntários preferiam precisamente o efeito surpresa, por oposição aos momentos em que calculavam exatamente o acorde que se seguiria a outro."
