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).

“We were a bit worried that she would be a vegetarian for a week, then Homer would persuade her to eat a hot dog,” McCartney has since told GQ magazine. “The producers of the programme assured us that she would remain that way, and they kept their word,” Macca added."

2019-04: Video perdido de Beatles no Top of the Pops...
... aparece, filmado por uma 8mm:
https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-47854806
Citando:
"An 11-second clip of the Beatles' only live appearance on the Top of the Pops, which was thought to have been be lost, has been unearthed in Mexico.
The silent snippet is all that exists of the Fab Four miming to Paperback Writer on the BBC pop show in 1966.
The original tapes were not kept, but it was recorded by a viewer filming their TV set with an 8mm camera.
The footage was shot by a family in Liverpool and eventually fell into the hands of a collector in Mexico.
The collector contacted Kaleidoscope, a Birmingham-based organisation specialising in locating previously missing TV footage.
"I think if you're a Beatles fans, it's the holy grail," Kaleidoscope's Chris Perry told BBC entertainment correspondent Colin Paterson.
"People thought it was gone forever because videotape wasn't kept in 1966. To find it all these years later was stunning.""

1971-10: John Lennon e Yoko Ono na TV
The TV show:

https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/remembering-john-lennon-and-yoko-onos-on-tv-show-free-time-from-1971/
Citando:
"

John Lennon and Yoko Ono found themselves in some curious positions with the pursuit of their art. Whether it’s in front of the world’s news naked in their bed or screaming into microphones to try and make music, the pair weren’t shy about sharing. So when they were offered the opportunity to take over an hour of television on TV station WNET they jumped at the chance.
The station opened its doors on October 14, 1971 to John and Yoko and gave it’s broadcast to Yoko Ono, John Lennon, and Jonas Mekas’ performance of excerpts from Ono’s “Of a Grapefruit in the World of Park.” The curious performance offers a glimpse into the working mind of John and Yoko. It’s a strange and liberating place to be."

2018-09: McCartney e os elogios de John Lennon?
Mais O elogio:
https://consequenceofsound.net/2018/09/paul-mccartney-john-lennon-compliment/
Citando:
"This Sunday, Paul McCartney will appear in his first 60 Minutes profile. Reporter Sharyn Alfonsi spent two days with the Beatles songwriter at his U.K. recording studio, and a press release describes the pair’s interviews as “surprisingly intimate,” with Macca sharing “rare details from the Beatles years” and getting misty about the band’s final concert atop London’s Apple Building.
There’s also some laughs to be had, however. In one snippet, McCartney speaks on the competitiveness that spawned between he and bandmate John Lennon, and laughs while recalling that, in all their years together, Lennon only complimented him once."

2018-08: Carpool karaoke extended
https://tv.avclub.com/paul-mccartney-joins-james-corden-for-a-super-sized-edi-1828400201
Citando:
"Carpool Karaoke: When Corden Met McCartney Live From Liverpool (CBS, 8 p.m.): If you want to see an extended version of Carpool Karaoke: When Corden Met McCartney Live From Liverpool without staying up past your Monday-night bedtime, CBS has you covered. This primetime special boasts additional footage of Late Late Show host James Corden hanging out with Sir Paul McCartney in the latter’s hometown, though as our own Myles McNutt notes in a forthcoming feature, little of that magic occurs within the confines of a Range Rover. But as we reach the dog days of summer proper, we suppose we could do worse than watch these two harmonize while going for a spin."

2017-04-07: Revisitando anúncios da Nike com músicas de JL/Beatles
Citando:
"This time, it licensed Lennon’s “Instant Karma” for a commercial directed by David Fincher (who, at 29, would make his first film, Alien 3, that same year). This time there was no controversy. “Instant Karma” was a solo Lennon song, and Ono happily licensed it—and the ad soon became a classic in its own right."

2017-03-23: Chuck Berry e JL
A história de Chuck Berry, um condenado que tocava sem afinar em todo o lado viajando com a sua guitarra, a sua arma no seu Cadillac com sacos de 💰... E a partida que pregou a JL na TV:
http://www.esquire.com/entertainment/music/a53952/chuck-berry-obituary/
Citando:
"He drove himself from show to show in his Cadillac, carrying with him only his guitar, some clothes and a gun, demanding brown paper bags full of cash from terrified promoters and fronting pick-up bands made of local musicians without even bothering to tune his guitar. He played anywhere from state fairs and small town theaters to the Tonight Show and Mike Douglas Show, where I–and so many second generation fans–first saw him performing with John Lennon and found myself in thrall of his remarkable magnetism.
But like seemingly everything in Berry's life, there was a colorful story attached to the 1972 Mike Douglas appearance. Backstage before the show, Berry had pressed Lennon for unpaid royalties he felt due as a result of The Beatles' recordings of his songs. Then, after convincing Lennon to take the solo on "Johnny B. Goode," he proceeded to change they key just as they went on the air, resulting in a ramshackle performance, and a moment of embarrassment Lennon never forgot, that still tore the roof off of Douglas's Philadelphia studio."

2017-02-06: A versão do Let it Be... Russa?
http://dangerousminds.net/comments/bizarre_video_of_the_beatles_let_it_be_from_soviet_tv_of_the_1970s
Citando:
"The 2000 WGBH miniseries Communism: The Promise and the Reality features a brief clip of this mysterious video, although unfortunately not much information about it is supplied. It pops up in “People Power,” the final part of the six-part series, about 14 minutes in (you can check it out below). After discussing the strong demand in the USSR for banned western goods such as blue jeans, the voiceover says, “But occasionally the authorities made an effort to cater to the tastes of the new generation….” and we get to see the start of the video. They translate the opening lines thus:
Everything’s happened before in the world
People are always the same
That’s how it was, it is, and always will be
Apparently the religiously tinged references to “Mother Mary” were also expunged, which can’t be too surprising"
