There was an insightful movie about (that POS) Chapman called Chapter 27, starring a fat Jared Leto.

The guy that scored the movie also wrote an original song that musically captured the essence of the Beatles' sound, though I wish he would have chosen a different lead singer:

Anthony Marinelli- Fall Into Place (feat Rich Price)

Chapman should be burned alive.


I'm being serious, and it sucks that this is the way the world is now, but if Lennon were alive most of this board would be calling him a "woke cuck" or something to that effect.

The networks learned their lesson from the death of Elvis. One network led their evening news with the Elvis story, the others buried it in the newscast. The network that led with Elvis slaughtered the other networks in overnight ratings.

For Lennon, there was a rush to get the news out quickly.

Oh wow, thanks for posting. This has really given me a whole new perspective on John. Always knew the genius, but man he really seemed like a good dude and a lot of fun.



We’re at the point now where Billy Preston shows up. What a fricking stud. Just rolls up to say hello to his old pals The Beatles, and they just casually ask him to play for the album.

And he just sits down and starts crushing out rhythm with them like he wrote the songs himself. Incredible


Seeing these musical giants create is so much fun

particularly the song In My Life which touched my soul

It's by far my favorite Beatles song, and in my top five songs of all time. In My Life is one of the greatest songs ever written, and it speaks to me on a weird level that music doesn't often do. It's that good IMO.

That's on my bucket list. If the wife and I can ever make it to Vegas, I am going to try my best to go see Love (she isn't a big Beatles fan, but she would go see it I think). My cousin just got back from Vegas and saw it for a second time, and he said it was just as good as the first time he saw it.

Just last week, I bought All Together Now on DVD, a doc about the making of Love. I plan on watching it soon.

I imagine it would be frustrating to be a Beatles collector like Cocomo to have to scour the earth to find all of the multiple rare vinyl releases of the same name.




My goal was to have all of their songs on vinyl, so that was a challenge based on the albums (and versions) that I had, and finding the missing pieces and buying American albums to fill in the gaps. But I finally was able to do it. I have every one of their songs on vinyl except for Real Love and Free As a Bird (from Anthology).

As for listening online, youtube has a great playlist that has every album and song, in order, from their whole career. It's pretty great: The Complete Beatles playlist.

I do also have all of their shite on MP3 on a jump drive. I have it ordered by album release, and songs in order as they appeared on the albums. So I have the 13 "core" albums, plus Past Masters (both albums), Anthology (all three albums), Love, and then I have a folder of all of their solo/post-Beatles stuff (just the songs that I like though...I think it's about 80-ish songs total for all four of them). And every now and then I'll listen through my MP3s of the songs in order as they were released. It's fun to do that because you can hear them mature as you go. It's a cool little ride.

I listen to it all the time, especially when Meg griffin talks on the Beatles Sirius channel and pisses me off.

there was a question on a radio talk show this week.

if you could time travel back to a certain event, what would it be.

I'd love to go back and sit in on The Beatles' song writing sessions.

And be present at that roof top jam.

I (irrationally) hate her more than most people on the planet.

Like I yell at my radio almost daily when she is on it. Listening to her grates on every ounce of my soul, and I usually end up changing the channel because she'll talk for like two minutes about shite nobody but her cares about. It infuriates me.

My initial collection started with CDs of Anthology set, the Number 1's and then the big box set. (I missed out on the tangible experience of holding big vinyl album covers and reading liner-notes by starting to be a fan so late.)

A couple of years ago when iTunes offered the complete digital Box Set that includes the core albums and the past masters, I bought that and gave away my all my CD's including the pricey box set. I haven't brought myself around to spending the $80 on the digital Anthology set as of yet.

I have never heard the Love album, particularly since I missed out on seeing the show this one time in Vegas with my family who over-ruled me and chose "O" by Cirque Du Soleil as the show to go to. I was waiting to see it first so I could relive the experience via album.

I think my most treasured possession is my Anthology Documentary DVD 5-disc set because it is so rare (edit: to find it digitally). It's the most amazing documentary I've seen that spans their whole career, narrated only by Paul, George and Ringo. I wish I could find/buy this digitally. I can't find it on any digital/streaming service, so I'm closely holding on to the dvd's until I can find it.

Is it rare though? I bought it last year online (Amazon or eBay maybe).

It's just okay. It's just mixes of songs strung together, but most of them are pretty much the normal songs with little pieces of other songs as intros/outros. It's a decent listen, but I think I'd rather just listen to the actual songs.

Sorry. That thought was coming from the perspective of digital rarity. I treasure the hardcopy because I can't replace it digitally like I want to.

And it looks like Apple has no plans to remaster/reissue it with their other projects/documentaries out there. The Anthology doc needs to be seen as widely as the Get Back doc, imo, it's that good of a chronological career synopsis told by the Beatles themselves, but it's nowhere to be found on mainstream streaming sites.

That’s been debunked. All of those “Reagan supporter” stories come from one interview from one of Lennon’s assistants. Lennon was supposedly down on the protests and the feed the poor concerts and became more libertarian in his thinking. He thought the individual could do more to help than the masses. And he was down on Carter and the rest of the leaders more than a staunch Reagan fan.

FWIW Lennon and Reagan actually met, while RR was guv of CA, backstage at a Monday Night Football game both attended. Supposedly they were very friendly, w/RR even putting his arm around John. Unfortunately no photos were taken.

The speed at which they were pumping out albums and hits was incredible. Basically every 6 months they had a new album with a bunch of hits on it.

They were releasing new albums before all the singles from the previous album were finished being released.

I think at one point they released 5 hit albums within an 20 month time span. That's not including the different versions of albums that were released in the UK.
