"They're among over 100 items belonging to The Beatles icon to be recovered

John Lennon’s diaries have been found in Berlin – and are among over a hundred stolen items belonging to the Beatles musician to be recovered by police.

Lennon’s diaries are currently on display at Berlin police headquarters – along with two pairs of his iconic round specs, a tape recording of a Beatles concert, sheet music and a cigarette case. The collection of items were stolen from Lennon’s widow Yoko Ono back in 2006."

Citando:
"John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono has sued a bar in Germany forcing it to change its name from 'Yoko Mono'.

Bar owner Nima Garous-Pour has been using the name for nearly 20 years in Hamburg, where the Beatles first found fame.

But lawyers for Yoko claimed that he had been using her name and identity without legal permission.

Judges at the city's regional court agreed - and ordered Garous-Pour to remove the sign, even though he had already shortened the name to simply 'Mono'."

2013-11-17: The story of Freda Kelly (by The Guardian)

... Beatles' secretary for around 10 years:
https://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/nov/17/beatles-secretary-freda-kelly-story

Citando:
""Paul, you could always rely on. He was the good one. George was very thoughtful – he would always say 'What have you got in your cupboard for me to sign?' Ritchie [Ringo, real name Richard] was always laughing. He was Mr Happy. John was a man of many moods. People think John Lennon was a big, hard man. He had his moments but there was a caring side to him."

By her own admission, Kelly was something of "an innocent" when she started working for the Beatles. "I was Miss Gullible. I was an Irish Catholic who went straight from the Girl Guides into the music business. I didn't know anything about anything."

It was Lennon who explained to her that her boss Epstein was gay – at the time, homosexuality was still illegal. "I remember saying to John: 'I can't make him out. There's something about him.' And he started laughing. He explained it to me in really simple terms. He said: 'Put it this way, if you and he were the last people on a desert island, you'd be safe.'""

E sobre o DVD:
"Good Ol' Freda will be shown on More4 on 10 December, 9pm. It is also available to buy on DVD from 4 December at amazon.co.uk"

2017-11-11: Tom Petty e o dia em que conheceu RS e GH

http://ultimateclassicrock.com/tom-petty-musicares-benefit/

Citando:
"Last night, Tom Petty was given the MusiCares Person of the Year Award at the organization’s annual benefit in Los Angeles. During his acceptance speech, he told a story about the night he met George Harrison and Ringo Starr, which ended up with him getting a lesson in paying your dues."
(...)
"You can watch the whole speech above, with this story beginning at the 7:40 mark. Petty recalled that he moved to Los Angeles in 1974, when he was signed to Leon Russell‘s Shelter Records by Denny Cordell. Shortly thereafter, he was hired by Russell to hang out at his home studio to provide lyrics in case the musicians came up with some worthwhile music.

“The first session, in comes George Harrison and Ringo, [legendary session drummer] Jim Keltner,” he began. “They didn’t need any words, but those cats were so cool, you know. And I found myself, after the session when we were hanging out, I found myself slipping my sunglasses on. Leon said, ‘What the hell are you doing with the dark glasses, man?’ I said, ‘It feels cool, you know, like Jimmy Keltner — he’s got his on."

2017-11-11: O início de The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill e o Mellotron?

O início do TCSOBB sempre foi um mistério. Afinal foi feito com um Mellotron:

Citando:
"The Beatles – “The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill”

This is an unusual one — the Spanish guitar introduction here is a bit from one of the early Mellotron accompaniment tapes. Prior to the M400, most Mellotrons had two manual keyboards — one for playing single notes, and one that triggered variously styled accompaniment patterns."
