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).

2017-03-20: Charles Manson e os Beatles
Citando:
"Manson and The Beatles
While it's not fair to blame The Beatles for the horrible crimes committed by the Manson Family, their music played a major role in the Tate-LaBianca murders in the twisted minds of the group.
Manson was a fan of the Beatles, even referring to one of the temporary homes he and his followers lived in as the Yellow Submarine, according to Raw Story.
Manson believed the 1968 self-titled album, known as 'The White Album', was embedded with messages that he thought were speaking directly to The Family. He became convinced the album carried warnings of a race revolt pitting African-Americans against the white establishment. Manson believed the violence and race war would lead to Armageddon."

2014-06-29: Wait
No programa, "A Cena do Ódio" (Antena 1), dedicado ao tema Wait, referência a Beatles como tendo sido influenciados pelo "Pet Sounds" dos Beach Boys (por altura do "Revolver").
Curiosamente na parte que ouvi deste programa em particular passaram bandas contemporâneas dos Beatles como Moody Blues ("Watching and Waiting") e Doors ("Waiting for the Sun") mas não passou o próprio "Wait" ("Rubber Soul").
