Is it normal that a band that ended on 1970 still gets radio airplay and frequent references in the social media almost every day here in Europe? This is a very personal and somewhat infomal logbook of some of these references to The Beatles as a proof of their everlasting relevance and continuing influence over the years. As if they needed. Also includes highlights of promotions and some additional info on the band. Mainly in Portuguese (sorry guys).

“We were a bit worried that she would be a vegetarian for a week, then Homer would persuade her to eat a hot dog,” McCartney has since told GQ magazine. “The producers of the programme assured us that she would remain that way, and they kept their word,” Macca added."

2017-07-15: A relação de John Lennon e a Rolling Stone
A importância de John Lennon para a revista Rolling Stone e as entrevistas e capas:
http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/50th-anniversary-john-lennon-history-with-rolling-stone-magazine-w491961
Citando:
"Flashback: Inside John Lennon's Long History With Rolling Stone
John Lennon was the 'North Star' for 'Rolling Stone' since the magazine's earliest days, and his interviews in these pages made news around the world."
(...)
"A year later, Wenner heard record stores were selling Two Virgins in a plain brown wrapper, since Lennon and Ono appeared naked on the album's cover. Rolling Stone editor emeritus Ralph Gleason suggested the magazine contact Beatles publicist Derek Taylor and ask to see the images in full. "They said OK and sent it over," says Wenner. "It was as simple as that."
The cover – accompanied by an interview by Jonathan Cott – caused a national scandal. Featuring Lennon and Ono naked from behind (the full-frontal shots were inside), it hit newsstands on November 23rd, 1968. A New Jersey postmaster general stopped issues from going to East Coast subscribers. One San Francisco newsstand employee was arrested for selling obscene material. (nude beat-le perils s.f., declared a San Francisco Chronicle headline soon after.) Wenner was exuberant. "The point is this," he wrote in the next issue. "Print a famous foreskin and the world will beat a path to your door.""

2017-06-18: PM aos 75 (Time, Life)
Paul McCartney: Legendary Beatles Member Turns 75 | Time.com
Citando:
"There’s a curious sensation to realizing that Paul McCartney — the lad of lads, the Beatles precocious imp, Fab Macca Wacky Thumbs Aloft — is turning 75 years old. Though it may be odder still to imagine a world without him. For more than 50 of those years he has not been simply Paul McCartney (or, since 1997, Sir Paul) but a Beatle, a known phenomenon in all hemispheres, a star of absurd magnitude, and, soon after, a man of absurd wealth. The Beatles last played before a paying audience in 1966. The band recorded together for the final time in ’69.
And for everything that McCartney has accomplished since — the 12 Grammy nominations; the six No. 1 hits with the Wings in the 1970s; the platinum chart-toppers with Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder in the 1980s; the jaunt into classical composition; performing at Buckingham Palace; his 2015 recording (hey there, kids) with Kanye and Rihanna — a Beatle he will always be, defined by those prolific, god-given, glorious years of the Fab Four’s prime. Paul wrote “Yesterday” when he was 22."

2016-08-23: Beatles na capa da Mojo
http://www.mojo4music.com/24527/beatles-toured-say-paul-ringo/
Citando:
"The cover story is part of a deluxe MOJO package that includes a CD of songs the Beatles played in their formative shows and two art prints that reproduce classic Beatles gig posters, all housed in a card sleeve.
Other unmissable Beatle elements include: Mark Lewisohn and Klaus Voormann on the Beatles’ Hamburg live onslaught; Giles Martin on the restoration of The Beatles: Live At The Hollywood Bowl album; Larry Kane risking life and limb in the Fabs’ cavalcade of chaos in 1964 and 1965; Jon Savage revisits the band’s underexplored farewell to UK stages; plus insiders recall the strong weed and lethal stages of the Beatles’ US 1966 swansong."
