“The music was positive, it was positive in love. They did write-we all...”
– Ringo Starr on what the Beatles had meant.
Did you know...
That after Paul McCartney’s hit song ‘Penny Lane’ was released, the actual signs for Penny Lane were regularly stolen! This resulted in the town having to paint the street name on buildings. (Note: This also happened to Abbey Road Studios.)
On This Day..
In 1970, George Harrison started recording tracks for his first solo album All Things Must Pass.
“Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems...”

Here’s something to help you all enjoy your lovely Wednesday. :)
‘Seems like all I really was doing, was waiting for you.’
Any good books about The Beatles you’ve read recently? Tell me about them! Today I bought the book ‘The Gospel According To The Beatles’ by Steve Turner. Have any of you read it?
“Once I heard rock ‘n’ roll and got into it, that was life. There was...”

They Say It's Your Birthday...
Happy 63rd Birthday to the amazingly gorgeous Olivia Harrison. Not only was she married to George Harrison for 23 years (Lucky), she is the mother of the talented Dhani Harrison. But overall, she’s a beautiful woman, inside and out. :)
Let's do some math..
There’s been a rumor going around that, during his Beatle years, Sir. Paul McCartney slept with 500-600 women. If you were curious, I took the liberty to do the math to see how many days would pass between each girl.
1. How many days?
Well, I chose 1963-1970, because that seems most reasonable. In between those years, there are two leap years. Therefore,
5 x 365 = 1825
2 x 366 = 732...
Ringo was born on a Sunday, John was born on a Wednesday and both Paul and George were born on a Thursday.

“The Beatles’ latest record, when played backwards at slow speed, says...”
– George Carlin, comedian.
Apparently, Paul has paid 650, 000$ for Nancy’s engagement ring. Thoughts?
Today in Beatles history..
On this day (May 12th) in 1967, The Beatles record All Together Now in 9 takes at Abbey Road studios in London, England.
And if you should discover that you don’t really love her, just send my baby back home to me. -Take Good Care Of My Baby
Just to see her smile makes my life worthwhile. To know, know, know her is to love, love, love her, and I do. -To Know Her Is To Love Her
How do you do what you do to me? I wish I knew. If I knew how you do it to me, I’d do it to you.
All you really need is love..
It’s just been announced that Paul McCartney and girlfriend Nancy Shevell are engaged!
Host: “George can we hear your latest record please?”
George: “No.” -smiles- “Yes! Certainly you can hear it, and it’s called Can’t Buy Me Love.”
Host: “Where do you go here when you’re not working? Do you go to the films or dancing or anything like that?”
George: “Uh.. sometimes we see private films.”
-laughter-
Host:”Well we can’t all see private films.”
George: “Well you know, they’re just ordinary films. I mean, I don’t mean, just ‘cause they’re private...
“First off, hairstyles. They are long, as always. For men’s hand styles, lots and lots of rings. Shirts done, immaculately white. And boots, well high heels, the Cuban heels. And of course our four models are none other then The Beatles!”
From the tv show ‘Ready Steady Go’ on which The Beatles guest starred in 1964.
