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).

Citando:
"Ringo continued: “I do one ritual while I’m touring.
“That is an hour and half every night before I go on stage.
“I have a baked potato, some vegetables and a vegetable drink. And that keeps me settled.”
Last Christmas, Ringo joined Sir Paul McCartney for a Beatles reunion at the latter’s final O2 Arena performance."

2019-06: Yes homenageia John Lennon
Yes tocaram este mês ao vivo o Imagine.
Interessante relembrar que Alan White (que está nas últimas, ultimamente é provavelmente definitivamente) foi quem tocou a bateria do original com Lennon no disco dos anos 70:

2019-06: A canção que os Beatles deram aos...
... Rolling Stones? Editada mais tarde no With the Beatles:

Citando:
"McCartney had originally penned the song before Lennon took over and finished the track while Macca was supposedly in the corner of a room talking to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Stones historian, Bill Janowitz, claimed that Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham “had almost literally bumped into Lennon and McCartney as they stepped out of a cab” and ushered them into the studio with Jagger and Richards.
Apparently, after having lunch together, the topic of the Stones lack of material for a new single had arisen and, by sheer coincidence, Lennon and McCartney had just finished up completing ‘I Wanna Be Your Man’ earlier that day at De Lane Lea Studio."

2019-06: The Korean Beatles?
2 Wembleys cheios com uma banda da... Coreia?
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/artists/behind-scenes-bts-korean-beatles-defy-boy-band-tradition-demand/
Citando:
"
all BTS the new John, Paul, George and Ringo and they will be polite if dismissive. “It is a bit of a burden to be called The Beatles of the 21st century,” 26-year-old band member Suga told journalists at a pre-concert press conference this weekend. “We want to be the BTS of the 21st century.” But the parallels are certainly valid.
Not only the most successful boy band in the world but the recipients of previously unthinkable international admiration akin to four boys from Liverpool unexpectedly becoming world-famous icons, BTS are a South Korean pop group of singers, dancers, lyricists and record producers, all in their early to mid-twenties and as surreally handsome as they are quick-footed on stage."

92 em vez dos 11 segundos encontrados no México. E esses 92 são a performance completa, aparentemente:

Citando:
"David Chandler used a wind-up camera to record the band’s performance of ‘Paperback Writer’ when it aired and was compelled to try and find it after hearing about the discovery of a short 11-second clip of the appearance in Mexico last month. The footage lasts for 92 seconds and has been donated to Kaleidoscope, an organisation who specialise in locating missing TV footage."
