1969: Get Back being created?

Yes. Also love Harrison yawning...
Quoting:
"I’ve never seen anything like this on film before. Paul really has nothing at the 30 second mark—but 45 seconds later he’s got the makings of a hit single."

1961: What an extraordinary photograph...

By Mike McCartney, so I say... 

Quoting:
"call our kid “Rambo Paul” in this photo, because his look reminds me of Stallone. I think Pete was doing one of the silly voices from The Goon Show. Then there’s nipple-shooting George. I have no idea why he’s pointing at Paul’s nipple. And we can’t ask him now.

The most important thing this photograph communicates is joy. It’s all about the fun, the camaraderie. They were totally relaxed in each other’s company and bounced off each other. All this business about the Beatles’ arguments – we all have arguments, for Christ’s sake. This photograph is a much stronger reflection of the reality."

1968: Os Beatles e Lord of the Rings?

Sim!!! Mas não, não se concretizou. Peter Jackson, que fez os filmes anos mais tarde, explica:
"It has been suggested that had the movie got the green light, it would have seen McCartney as Frodo, Starr as Sam, Lennon as Gollum and Harrison as Gandalf. The Beatles' choice of director? Stanley Kubrick, fresh from making 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Jackson does not refute these suggestions. "Apparently," he says, adding, "Paul couldn't remember exactly when I spoke to him, but I believe that is the case."

He also acknowledges how different his own life might have been if The Beatles had already made The Lord of The Rings.

"Paul said, 'Well I'm glad we didn't do it, because you got to do yours and I liked your film.' But I said to him, 'Well, it's a shame you didn't do it, because it would have been a musical.'"

2021-10: Umas décadas depois de Starr, Paul McCartney deixou de...

... dar autógrafos!
Starr parou em 2008!

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/no-paul-mccartney-not-sign-143525683.html

Citando:
"The 79-year-old musician went on to explain that cutting out selfies and autographs makes for an all-around more fulfilling experience for everyone involved, but mainly for himself. “What you’ve usually got is a ropey photo with a poor backdrop and me looking a bit miserable,” he said. “Let’s chat, let’s exchange stories.”

The Beatles drummer Ringo Starr beat his fellow bandmate to the punch over a decade ago. In October 2008, the musician asked his fans to stop sending him fan mail or presenting him with objects to autograph via a strangely menacing video.

“I’m warning you with peace and love. I have too much to do, so no more fan mail!” he said at the time, with excessive peace and love. “And no objects to be signed. Nothing! Anyway, peace and love, peace and love.”"

2021-08: A receita de sopa de lentilhas de...

Paul McCartney nos créditos finais de um episódio dos Simpsons. Invertida? 
Sim:
https://www.cbr.com/simpsons-end-credits-paul-mccartney-lentil-soup-recipe/

Citando:
"When played in reverse, the strange mumbling reveals as McCartney reciting his lentil soup recipe. Some ingredients include one medium onion chopped, two tablespoons vegetable oil and one clove garlic crushed. The end of the recipe also features a small line where McCartney states, “By the way, I’m alive.” The line references a 1966 conspiracy in which Paul was supposedly killed in a car accident and replaced with a lookalike.

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."

2021-08: Último irmão dos Everly Brothers morreu

Os Everly Brothers serão uma influência declarada de Paul McCartney. Em 1984 gravaram uma versão de uma música de Paul McCartney que os colocou no top da Billboard pela última vez...

https://open.spotify.com/track/1Eo6eH8Yppywb6nkWDhB1b?si=z8Groh6FTb2mUD2eGM2xXQ&utm_source=copy-link&dl_branch=1

Se se ouvir com atenção, as harmonias de voz dos Beatles têm muito a ver com estas músicas.
E o excelente "All I Have to do is Dream":

Quoting:
"In a 1986 interview with the Associated Press news agency, Don Everly said the two were successful because "we never followed trends".

"We did what we liked and followed our instincts. Rock 'n' roll did survive, and we were right about that. Country did survive, and we were right about that. You can mix the two but people said we couldn't," he said.

The Everly Brothers were elected to the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in its first year, 1986, and they were given a lifetime achievement award at the Grammys in 1997.

Rolling Stone magazine has described them as "the most important vocal duo in rock".

Phil Everly died of pulmonary disease in 2014, aged 74."

Update: Ringo Starr fez um post no Instagram a 2021-08-24 "fofinho":

2021-01: Learn eye yoga with...

... Paul McCartney!

https://ultimateclassicrock.com/paul-mccartney-eyesight/

Citando:
"The former Beatle said he discovered the exercises in India, where a yogi explained the reasoning to him.

“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.”"
