2016-06-11: O filme que fez os Beatles voltar ao Top 40 20 anos depois (1986)

Citando:
"[The film] was the perfect excuse for radio programmers to put “Twist and Shout” back into rotation — and the song took off all over again. Further buoyed by its appearance in another hit 1986 comedy, Rodney Dangerfield’s Back to School, the Beatles hit enjoyed a new lease on Top 40 life, spending seven weeks on the chart and peaking at No. 23 toward the end of the summer. It just goes to show you that a great song is a great song, no matter when it was originally released — and so is a great film, as evidenced by the celebratory bonanza planned for Ferris Bueller‘s 30th anniversary.

2016-06-03: Muhammad Ali e os Beatles

PM e RS reagem pelo twitter à morte de Muhammad Ali (que conheceram quando se chamava ainda Cassius Clay e era tudo menos de barro) a 3 de Junho com 74 anos.
O Diário de Coimbra citou a declaração de PM na edição de hoje (2016-06-05). O jornal Público idem (p.16) e falou dos Beatles terem assistido a um dos combates dele no corpo da notícia. RIP.

Citando:
"Among the many images circulating online in the hours after Ali’s death were photos of him with the Beatles. It’s the month before Ali’s first fight with Liston, in 1964, and the Fab Four are on their first tour of America. They are all between the ages of 20 and 23 with the whole world ahead of them. Ali is a head taller than all of the Beatles. In one photo, he has picked up Ringo in his arms and holds him like a rag doll. All five beam for the camera."

And some photos of them together (let's ignore the "Wrestling" part):
