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).

2018-04-23: Auto-retrato de John Lennon vendido em leilão
https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/john-lennon-hitler-self-portrait-sold-45000-dollars-beatles-a8317726.html
Citando:
"John Lennon's self-portrait of himself as Hitler sells for $54k
There are several known self-portraits taken from Lennon's personal sketchbook which incorporate Nazi iconography
(...)
In 2007, Sir Peter Blake – who co-created the cover - revealed to The Independent that Hitler did actually make the final line-up, but is simply obscured by the Beatles themselves. ”Yes he is on there – you just can’t see him,” he said.
He added: “If you look at photographs of the out-takes, you can see the Hitler image in the studio. With the crowd behind there was an element of chance about who you can and cannot see, and we weren’t quite sure who would be covered in the final shot. Hitler was in fact covered up behind the band.”"
