2016-03-22: Regarding I Want You lyrics (JL)

When you’re drowning you don’t say ‘I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me’ – you just scream!

John Lennon on the lyrics of "I Want You". The link below has also good insights on why this music ends like irt does (abruptly, because Lennon told the team to cut it there). The "wind" sound comes from a Moog synthesizer.

2016-03-15: Direitos de publicação dos Beatles

Os direitos de publicação dos Beatles vão mudar de mãos de novo:
http://www.examiner.com/article/sony-takes-over-music-publishing-arm-that-owns-rights-to-beatles-songs
http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/paul-mccartneys-hopes-dashed-as-sony-buys-michael-jacksons-slice-of-beatles-classics-for-750m-a6932226.html#gallery
Com mais esta venda PM perde a esperança de recuperar os direitos. Referiu em tempos que recomendou a Michael Jackson que investisse em música mas nunca pensou perder para ele os direitos (1984).

Klaus Voorman (amigo dos Beatles em Hamburgo, músico, autor da capa do Revolver e da colagem das Anthologies, assim como músico em alguns dos discos do Lennon) vai publicar um disco para ajudar os refugiados da Síria.
Aqui ele revela que ele foi também um refugiado:

2016-02-22: Apollo11 and the music was not Beatles

2016-02-17: Ringo Starr discography - journey

Um overview dos 18 álbuns a solo do Ringo Starr:
http://drownedinsound.com/in_depth/4149168-oeuvre-here--an-18-album-voyage-through-ringo-starrs-discography


PS. É uma vista algo negativa uma vê que nem no álbum em que Ringo teve números 1 nos tops o autor vê algo de positivo. E ignora o facto de nesse mesmo álbum Paul McCartney também oferecer uma música a Ringo (o sucesso "I'm the Greatest" é de JL e nessa música também canta e toca).

2016-02-11: Série da Netflix com versões dos Beatles
