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).

2019-03: Carta de Lennon sobre 2 Virgins vai a leilão
Lennon furioso com o tratamento do álbum com capa "supostamente ofensiva" (como ele próprio diz):
https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/john-lennon-letter-yoko-ono-two-virgins-album-apple-emi-record-label-a8822261.html
Citando:
"Addressed to “Martin George of Rock Ink”, the auction house cites “noted Beatles expert” Perry Cox in affirming that the letter was sent to the late Beatles producer George Martin.
However, author Mark Lewisohn told The Times that he believes that Lennon was actually responding to the journalist Martin George, who wrote for “a magazine or a weekly underground newspaper called Ink”.
Referring to his and Ono’s 1968 album Two Virgins, Lennon writes: “Yoko and I got ‘Two Virgins’ out in spite of [which is underlined] being past owners of Apple. We made it in May and they f***ed us about till November! Then E. M. I. (who have the real control) wrote warning letters to all their puppets around the world telling them not handle it in any way (this after Sir Joe [Lockwood, chairman of EMI] had told us face to face that he would do ‘everything he could’ to help us with it – and asking us for autographed copies!!).
