One guy in 1972 wrote a letter to John Lennon asking him to send him money for a trip around the world. To this the Lennon's answered him: "Do meditation, and you will be able to see the whole world in your imagination."
In 1995, the guy still went on a trip around the world. He got the money by auctioning Lennon's letter.

Good pic, but they were together a few times after that.

There’s a good video on YouTube that does a great job of breaking down “Abbey Road” in detail. It’s worth a watch for the production details and the virtuosity of the individual performances. Those guys were amazing musicians and songwriters.

quote:George was a dick
We have all seen the clip of George casually dropping his cigarette ashes into John's hair while John is being interviewed. And here he is at it again. This time the recipient is Dick James's BALD head.

After they left he turned to someone and asked, "Who were those English sissies?"

“George’s way of dealing with musicians in the studio was, as mentioned, very different from John’s. While John liked developing plans alone or together with Yoko, George always formed a real team with the band. We often worked out pieces together, and our opinion about it was important to George. Even when it came to his guitar solos, he was open to positive suggestions. As opposed to Eric Clapton he was not a great improvisor. He worked everything out note for note and then developed a real little solo melody which he, no matter how often he played it, only varied minimally. While John put his ideas to tape very quickly, ‘patience’ wasn’t just a word with George.” - Klaus Voormann

I’ve been consuming bourbon tonight and wanted to sit down and relax to something slightly phsuychadleic to ease into the weekend to. Sitting in my easy chair in a dark room with just a lamp on as I ponder life. My Spotify Que is currently: strawberry fields, Lucy in the Sky, I am the walrus, within you without you, across the universe, tomorrow never knows, and the benefit to Mr Kite.
Really wish I had an edible but the bourbon will do.

Yeah. Very cool song.
It used to be one that I skipped, but now I totally dig it.

64 Reasons To Celebrate Paul McCartney
quote:
Monday, June 14, 1965. The Beatles didn’t get to Abbey Road until the afternoon. They set about recording three Paul songs, starting with I’ve Just Seen a Face (one of my favourites; I love the way it rollicks, lines tripping over themselves, enacting the breathlessness of love at first sight). They get it right after six takes, and move on to I'm Down, a bluesy screamer in the style of Little Richard. After seven takes, it’s done. The session ends, the Beatles disperse before returning in the evening, when Paul records a ballad called Yesterday, in two takes. Three songs, in wildly divergent, highly demanding styles, in one day. McCartney nails all of them for all time. By 10pm he and Jane Asher are at a bar on Cromwell Rd.
quote:
When you read accounts of people who knew him as a teenager and young man, you get the impression that they liked McCartney but didn’t entirely trust or love him. He was charming and clearly gifted but there was a hint of deviousness too. Like Lennon, he could shrivel people with a joke but unlike Lennon, he always seemed in possession of himself. I get the impression that he didn’t entirely trust himself, either – that, haunted by his ability to carry on more or less as before after his mother’s death, he began to doubt that he had a heart.
quote:
When they covered Boys by The Shirelles, they didn’t bother to change the gender. McCartney, the pretty one, was the most “unmanly” of all, and that was fine by him. In 1964, speaking about the band’s impact on America, he said, “There they were…all getting house trained for adulthood with their indisputable principle of life: short hair equals men, long hair equals women. Well, we got rid of that small convention for them.”

Beatles Soaky Toys! Lol. Damn, they marketed everything. I had a Beatles lunchbox and a friend of mine had a Dave Clark 5 lunchbox.
I wish I still had it.
...fun times
