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).

2021-08: A receita de sopa de lentilhas de...
The Simpsons always finds a way to keep things fresh for its fans after decades of episodes. But it's Easter eggs like Paul McCartney's recipe that show just how many surprises are littered throughout the series. However, it's hard to say how many more are still hiding in plain sight with so many episodes."

“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.”"

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."

2019-12-29: Morre Neil Innes...
... porcessado por ATV Music (que publica algumas das músicas dos Beatles nos EUA):
https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/dec/30/neil-innes-the-rutles-monty-python-dies
Citando:
"Innes’ spoof songs were targeted by Beatles publisher ATV Music who successfully argued that Lennon and McCartney should be added to the songwriting credits, and settled out of court with Innes’ publisher. After another legal dispute, Innes was added to the credits of Oasis’s song Whatever, which was deemed to have imitated his song How Sweet to Be an Idiot. “The music business is like a school where big boys come and take your candy away,” Innes said in 2013. “No other business in the world gets away with stealing like the music business – apart from banking.”"
