Yesterday side effects?

Beatles music is being used to prevent video sharing (by activating the copyright filters on social networks):

Quoting:
"(...), then walks up to Reyes, who is still playing music, and tries to ask him a question. But the officer doesn’t answer—he simply stares straight ahead and holds his cell phone pointed towards Devermont, as the Beatles’ “Yesterday” moves into the second verse."

1964: Joan Baez e John Lennon na cama?

Sim, mas não...
https://www.uncut.co.uk/news/joan-baez-new-album-seeing-beyond-one-hard-103104/

Citando:
"Baez also tells a story about the time she turned down John Lennon: “About four o’clock in the morning, John tumbled in, and it was like he felt compelled to make some sort of overture to me… I said to him, ‘John, you are probably as beat as I am. I’m not up for it, either’. He looked so relieved.”"

2019-01: Duetos de Paul McCartney...

... com Michael Jackson usados como argumento para não se detestar... Phil Collins!
https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/jan/14/in-defence-of-phil-collins-what-is-the-genesis-of-all-the-hatred

Citando:
"Here’s the thing though: he didn’t force millions of us to buy his records. He didn’t demand we love him and his funny comb-forward.

You might argue he actively worked against the notion, what with his film clips (don’t, I beg you, look up Two Hearts – no, I mean it, don’t), his feature films, his suits, his songs …


Anyway, remember: Collins didn’t release anything as bad as Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson’s atrocious duets, and their musical reputations were eventually redeemed. Give the bloke a chance."


2019-01: Estrelas de rock em cuecas

Paul McCartney em cuecas? Sim.

Citando:
"In her twenties, Yates released a fantastically cheeky book entitled Rock Stars in Their Underpants which perfectly sums up her desire to not take life too seriously. At one point, Andy Warhol comically dubbed the book as ‘the greatest work of art in the last decade.’‘

With David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Debbie Harry and more all present, here’s a sneak peak inside."

2018-10: Rapper MC e as dicas de piano

... De Paul McCartney em Abbey Road:
https://www.nme.com/news/music/stormzy-piano-lesson-paul-mccartney-2394572

Citação:
"The two artists met this summer after The Beatles star played an intimate show at London’s Abbey Road Studios.

During their conversation, McCartney made use of a nearby piano to give the grime MC some songwriting advice. Speaking to The Sunday TimesStormzy explained how the impromptu lesson came about.


“I was just so compelled, in the presence of someone that great, to get advice — anything for my career an OG like him can give me,” he said. “But I know the stigma that comes with being a rapper, so I introduced myself as a songwriter: ‘Can you teach me something?’”"

2018-03-14: Paul McCartney em segunda classe?

Parece que sim!
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5509913/Sir-Paul-McCartney-stuns-commuters-choosing-SECOND-CLASS-train.html

Citando:
"Sir Paul McCartney may have an estimated fortune of £780 million but the Beatles legend is not averse to saving the odd penny here and there.

The 75-year-old was spotted rushing onto a train yesterday just before it pulled out of Charing Cross railway station.

Rather than opting for first class, down-to-earth Sir Paul settled down in second class, sitting alongside ordinary commuters and their bicycles

Dressed smartly in a suit and crisp white shirt, Britain's most famous singer songwriter kept a low profile as he sat quietly on his own in the carriage. "

2016-12-11: JL e os OVNIS?

A teoria da conspiração mais famosa a envolver os Beatles (e que ainda hoje vive, basta fazer uma pesquisa no Youtube) é a da morte de PM em 1966. Cruzei-me com esta recentemente que liga JL a OVNIs (UFOs). Não sei se as referências a entrevistas são válidas mas partilho FFR:
