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).

The most important thing this photograph communicates is joy. It’s all about the fun, the camaraderie. They were totally relaxed in each other’s company and bounced off each other. All this business about the Beatles’ arguments – we all have arguments, for Christ’s sake. This photograph is a much stronger reflection of the reality."

2021-11: The ostracized George?
“Because he had all these songs [which eventually became his sprawling 1970 solo album ‘All Things Must Pass’] but you hear John refer to him as ‘Harrisongs’ – he’s got his own publishing deal and he’s come as a songwriter. It’s like, ‘Oh – we should give George a song.’
“At this stage, George was writing way more than John was. I think John had some sort of writers’ block – he doesn’t have a huge amount of songs on ‘Let It Be.’ I think the attention [John and Paul] were giving one another – almost like they were trying to rekindle their relationship – ostracised George, to a certain degree.”"

2021-05: The Beatles and India?
Quoting:
""Rare archival footage, recordings and photographs, eye-witness accounts and expert comments along with location shoots across India, bring alive the fascinating journey of George, John, Paul and Ringo from their high octane celebrity lives in the West to a remote Himalayan ashram in search of spiritual bliss that inspires an unprecedented burst of creative songwriting.
"It is the first serious exploration of how India shaped the development of the greatest ever rock band and their own pioneering role bridging two vastly different cultures."
The film was inspired by the book Across The Universe - The Beatles In India by author Ajoy Bose, which was published in 2018. It will premiere on June 6 at the BFI in London as part of the Tongues On Fire UK Asian Film Festival, and will receive a full release in the autumn. "

Well, they were really over on May 17, 1971. “Ram” dropped, setting “Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey” on a trip to number 1. The album went there, too. It was Paul’s opening statement that cinched it: “It’s okayyyyyy.” He was telling us that we would now move on without the Beatles, and it was going to be fine. But not before explaining what had happened in the year since “Let it Be” and “McCartney.”"

“He explained that your eyes are muscles whereas your ears aren’t, so you can’t exercise your ears,” McCartney noted on a recent episode of Table Manners With Jessie Ware. “But your eyes, you can.” He went on to explain how this works: “So, head still, and then you look up as far as you can – one, two, three – go back to the middle, then down – one, two, three – then back to the middle. You do three lots of that, then go to the left and the right. Now you’ve got a cross, up and down and sideways; now you do the diagonals.”"

2014: Paul McCartney Shares Version of 'Beware My Love' With John Bonham on Drums
Quoting:
"During a live chat on Twitter earlier today, Paul McCartney shared a previously unreleased version of the 1976 song 'Beware My Love' featuring John Bonham on drums. The song comes from the upcoming expanded reissue of the No. 1 Wings album 'Wings at the Speed of Sound.'
'Beware My Love' was one of the few true rock songs on an album filled with lighter pop tunes, like the hits 'Let 'Em In' and 'Silly Love Songs.' The original version runs six and a half minutes and includes Wings drummer Joe English on the kit. The previously unreleased take is a minute shorter and, more importantly, features the Led Zeppelin wild man."

The story of the Rock'n"roll album...
“So there was no way you could get them. So that album was stopped in the middle for a year, and we had to sue through Capitol to get them back off him.” It put the singer over the edge and he abandoned his sessions with Spector in favour of working on his own on the East Coast.
Returning to New York alongside May Pang, Lennon became distracted by the covers album and instead wrote and recorded Walls and Bridges. It could have been some light relief for Lennon but soon enough, his adversary Morris Levy was back again with a brand new lawsuit, this time threatening to take Lennon to court unless he delivered the record he had seemingly reneged on. Lennon even used 11-year-old Julian Lennon to make a slight jibe at Levy in the final moment of Walls and Bridges."

2021-02: Ring O and Ringo?
"Sir Ringo Starr, it has been uncovered, is currently opposing the trademark of the name Ring O for a sexual aid.
Pacific Coast Holdings IP, LLC, the parent company of Screaming O, have put forward their desire to trademark the name Ring O for a vibrating penis ring, which they have marketed under that name since 2008.
They accused Sir Ringo of being a ‘trademark squatter’ as he attempted to oppose their trademark, as well as suggesting their customers would not be of the generation to connect the item with the Beatle.
Sir Ringo’s legal team, in contrast, claim Pacific Coast Holdings broke their agreement, which allowed them to use the name so long as they never attempted to trademark it."

George Harrison prank on Phil Collins
A while later, Stewart calls Collins and puts Harrison on the line. "'Did you get the tape?' Harrison asked. "I now realize I was fired by a Beatle," Collins sighed. The two changed the subject, but a few minutes later, Harrison couldn't stop laughing.
"Don't worry, it was a piss-take. I got Ray Cooper to play really badly and we dubbed it on," Harrison admitted. "Thought you'd like it!" So, Harrison had an entire recording session with a conga player who he asked to play poorly, just to pull one over on Collins."
