Citando:
"It’s The Beatles! According to YouGov, 73% of the UK public has a positive opinion of the Fab Four, while 61% favour The Rolling Stones.

Meanwhile, both bands had very low negativity with the British public, with just 10% and 12% disliking the bands."


2018-11: A vergonha do assassino?

A transcrição da audiência para a liberdade condicional (entretanto negada mais uma vez) do "senhor" foi publicada:

Citando:

"“I was too far in,” Chapman told the board. “I do remember having the thought of, ‘Hey, you have got the album now. Look at this, he signed it, just go home.’ But there was no way I was just going to go home.”


As in previous parole hearings, Chapman went into detail about the shooting and his regret over the “senseless” act. Chapman claimed he sought notoriety and felt no animosity for Lennon, even though he loaded his gun with more lethal hollow-point bullets.

“I secured those bullets to make sure he would be dead,” he said. “It was immediately after the crime that I was concerned that he did not suffer.”"

2018-11: Beatles e Hendrix e os álbuns de 68

https://text.npr.org/s.php?sId=665972702

Citando:
""The White Album" and Electric Ladyland also came after periods of personal upheaval. Brian Epstein, the Beatles manager, died in August 1967. Hendrix's manager, Chas Chandler, quit during the recording of Electric Ladylandfrustrated by the long and freeform sessions. But the loss of Epstein (and The Beatles' four-year run at the top of the charts) allowed them to take more control of the recording process. Hendrix, meanwhile, was able to produce and "direct" his own work, in close collaboration with his engineer Eddie Kramer. Loss turned to almost unchecked creative abandon."

2018-11: White Album reissue (Rolling Stone)

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-album-reviews/beatles-white-album-super-deluxe-is-a-revelatory-dive-into-their-frayed-late-sixties-drama-753695/

Citando:
"The outtakes vary in impact. A 12-minute “Helter Skelter” is not the noise fest I hoped but a solid groove, McCartney leading a blues-jam Beatles. The minute differences in Lennon’s two takes of longing for his mother, “Julia,” are telling; his vocal falls more naturally over the guitar in the second pass. An alternate down-home “Good Night” is a marvelous shock, Ringo Starr’s homely vocal gilded with earthy harmonies closer to the Band, moving in Byrds-like formation. And do not fear for the original album: Giles’ remix adds depth and detail without betraying the ’68 balance as in the new, striking contrast between the doldrums and tumult in Harrison’s “Long, Long, Long.”

The Beatles is now seen as the album on which they started to break up. But it was wisely titled: a self portrait of the band at odds but pulling together behind each writer, playing as they always did: in service to the song."
