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).

1964: Peter & Gordon e a música de Lennon-McCartney
Boas festas.
Ainda consigo aprender qualquer coisa em 2020 sobre os Beatles. Conheciam a música escrita por Lennon e McCartney (mais por McCartney) para Peter & Gordon e que chegou ao número 1 dos tops?

The pair, who shared the Whaddon House flat with George’s future wife, Pattie Boyd, moved into the property after it was recommended to them by their manager, Brian Epstein, who lived upstairs to keep an eye on them."

1964-04-04: Beatles nas 5 primeiras posições do Billboard
Citando:
"April 4, 1964
The Fab Four's fab five: Songs by The Beatles infused the Billboard Hot 100's entire top five, the only week that an act has monopolized the chart's top five positions. "Can't Buy Me Love" zoomed 27-1, followed by "Twist and Shout" (3-2), "She Loves You" (1-3), "I Want to Hold Your Hand" (2-4) and "Please Please Me" (4-5). The headline on page 1 of Billboard that week? "Chart Crawls With Beatles.""

2017-03-29: Fato de Lennon (1964) vai a leilão
http://nypost.com/2017/03/28/john-lennons-suit-headed-to-the-auction-block/
Citação:
"Beatles’ manager Brian Epstein hired Millings to design the majority of the singers’ stage-worn outfits during the early to mid-1960s.
The suit has two D.A. Millings & Son labels sewn into the interior of the jacket. One label features the handwritten word “John” so the jacket could easily be identified when making costume changes during performances.
“John” also is handwritten in red ink on the pants below the fly zipper.
The auction lot includes a glossy photo of Lennon clad in the suit, along with a letter of authenticity from Madame Tussauds, where the suit was displayed."

Artigo sobre o documentário dos irmãos Maysles (1964, EUA) | The Maysles brothers’ 1964 doc.
Citando:
"The Maysles brothers’ 1964 documentary “What’s Happening! The Beatles in the U.S.A.” shows the bandmates to be not media creations but media geniuses.
