Citando:

"On 5th January 1976, Evans was shot dead by Los Angeles Police Department officers at his home after he confronted the officers with a rifle. It was subsequently discovered that the weapon was just an air rifle. Evans was 40.

How did such a loved and amiable man end up in this tragic situation?"

The story of the Rock'n"roll album...

... from John Lennon (and Phil Spector):

Quoting:

"Naturally, the sessions turned into pure riotous and ramshackle events, with one particular moment seeing Lennon tipped over the edge. It comes as Moon, notorious in his own way, was found to have peed all over the console Lennon was working on. To make matters worse, Spector was also taking the master tapes home with him every night, proving his eccentricities were beginning to show — he even discharged a weapon during a session, damaging Lennon’s ear. The Beatles man recalled how taking the master tapes nearly derailed the entire album: “One day when he didn’t want to work, one night he called me, he said the studio had been burnt down. Now, these… in the early days I didn’t know about it, you know, didn’t know how far away he was. So I said, ‘Oh the studio’s burnt down.’ So anyway a couple of hours passed… the studio’s burnt down… So I get somebody to call the studio, it hadn’t been burnt down. That was the Sunday, the following Sunday he calls and he says on the phone, ‘Hey Johnny’… I said, ‘Oh there you are, Phil, what happened? We’re supposed to be doing a session.’ — [he says] ‘I got the John Dean tapes.’ I say, ‘what?’ ‘I got the John Dean tapes…’ What he was telling me, in his own sweet way, was he had my tapes, not the John Dean Watergate tapes, he had my tapes locked in the cellar behind the barbed wire and the Afghan dogs and the machine guns.

“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."

2017-08-08: Carta aberta de John Lennon a Cynthia vai a leilão

http://www.nme.com/news/music/john-lennon-yoko-ono-divorce-letter-2122463

Citação:
"The open letter to his ex-wife Cynthia was written in 1976 in response to claims in her first book about him

John Lennon disputed that Yoko Ono was to blame for the end of his first marriage in a newly discovered letter."
(...)
"The note was written in 1976 in response to excerpts from Powell’s book, A Twist Of Lennon, being published in the News Of The World, as Billboard reports. It is titled “An open letter to Cynthia Twist”, referring to her new name following her third marriage to John Twist.

“Dear Cynthia,” it began. “As you and I well know, our marriage was over long before the advent of L.S.D. or Yoko Ono… and that’s reality!

“Your memory is impaired to say the least. Your version of our first L.S.D. trip is rather vague, and you seem to have forgotten subsequent trips altogether!”"

2017-02-06: A versão do Let it Be... Russa?

Com vídeo para esta versão de 1976 e alguma história da sua origem e tradução da letra para Russo:

Citando:
"The 2000 WGBH miniseries Communism: The Promise and the Reality features a brief clip of this mysterious video, although unfortunately not much information about it is supplied. It pops up in “People Power,” the final part of the six-part series, about 14 minutes in (you can check it out below). After discussing the strong demand in the USSR for banned western goods such as blue jeans, the voiceover says, “But occasionally the authorities made an effort to cater to the tastes of the new generation….” and we get to see the start of the video. They translate the opening lines thus:

Everything’s happened before in the world
 People are always the same
 That’s how it was, it is, and always will be


 Apparently the religiously tinged references to “Mother Mary” were also expunged, which can’t be too surprising"

PM comenta as alegações de JL que referem os Beatles como "bosta" | PM quote on JL comments of Beatles as Crap

Em 1976 PM tenta reactivar a sua carreira ao vivo nos EUA, parada desde que os Beatles pararam de tocar ao vivo em 1966, e começa a ir buscar o seu passado, tocando musicas dos Beatles de novo.
Mais uma vez PM tem razão e JL não a tem quando desvaloriza os comentários (de ocasião como quase sempre) de JL:


Citando:
"I’m a Beatles fan,” he told Rolling Stone in 1976. “When John [Lennon] was saying a couple of years ago that it was all crap, it was all a dream, I know what he was talking about – but at the same time I was sitting there thinking, ‘No it wasn’t.’ It was as much a dream as anything else is; as much crap as anything else is. In fact, it was less crap than a lot of other stuff.”"
