I’m with mmm and ASJ on this one. Basic, decent information literacy skills. That’s all we are asking for.

Its lazy and a disgrace. Whoever wrote it should be given a course in Beatlemania and made to write an essay on the history of Apple lawsuits.

Why do you care so much? Not everybody is as obsessive about The Beatles as you are. You don’t need to be so judgmental for one petty mistake.

I was being my normal highly sarcastic self with that post due to the reply of gembo555. Tho there is a part of me that gets irked by such sloppiness, folk do read these and then it gets passed on and before long you have drivel being put around as fact because someone read it somewhere. I am the kind of guy who tidies the Beatles section in a music store however.

Just means you are a Beatlemaniac, along with most of us here. We want to keep the truth alive. It is in our DNA makeup. Shine the light on all the dark, misinformation about The Beatles wherever you see it. If we don’t, who will?

I came upon this the other day but it’s a bit long and I couldn’t be bothered to type it, until now.

 

I’m slowly making my way through the novel ‘The Time Traveler’s Wife’ and here is a paragraph in it:

 

She looks up. “Henry who’s your favourite Beatle?”

“John. Of course”.

“Why ‘of course’?”

“Well, Ringo is okay but kind of a sad sack, you know? And George is a little too New Age for my taste”.

“What’s ‘New Age?'”

“Oddball religions. Sappy boring music. Pathetic attempts to convince oneself of the superiority of anything connected with Indians. Non-Western medicine”.

“But you don’t like regular medicine”.

“That’s because doctors are always trying to tell me I’m crazy. If I had a broken arm I would be a big fan of Western medicine”.

“But what about Paul?”

“Paul is for girls”.

Claire smiles, shyly. “I like Paul best”.

“Well, you’re a girl”.

“Why is Paul for girls?”

Tread carefully I tell myself. “Uh gee. Paul, is, like the Nice Beatle, you know?”

“Is that bad?”

“No, not at all. But guys are more interested in being cool and John is the Cool Beatle”.

“Oh. But he’s dead”

I laugh. “You can still be cool when you’re dead. In fact, it’s much easier, because you aren’t getting old and fat and losing your hair”.

Claire hums the beginning of “When I’m 64”.

“So why do you like Paul?” I ask her. I look up in time to see her blushing fervently.

“He’s so…beautiful,” Claire says.

 

***********************************************************************

 

Well I think we can all agree that Henry is an ass, yes?

^I read this book a while ago that made a couple of s**t Beatles references. There was a time when someone sang yellow submarine, and another when someone mentioned a “golden oldies Beatles record”. I remember both times that was read (it was a book we were studying in class), everyone stared at me and I had this like massive grin on my face. I was still disappointed they didn’t mention a specific album and just said “golden oldie” tho

My history teacher in eighth grade used to sing Yellow Submarine to me whenever I wore a Beatles shirt. It would kind of make me uncomfortable, though. I would just stare at him and try to keep a straight face, but it was hard.

Silly Dad had it as a kid, it says ‘Oldies… But Goldies’ on the record. It was released in December of ’66 so… not that oldie a-hard-days-night-paul-10

I was home alone and decided that playing Helter Skelter with the bass, treble and volume all the way up would be a wonderful idea. Pressed play, took cover behind a chair and covered my ears, the house shook and the windows rattled. Four minutes later, a neighbor was banging on the door, I quickly pressed stop and pretended I wasn’t at home. After safely assessing that he was gone I found a note stuck on the door which read:

Dear neighbor,

Please refrain from playing The Beatles ear-splittingly loud at 10:00 in the morning, I am a fan but I don’t want to have my life disrupted like that again. (it’s a public disturbance of the peace and I could’ve called the police).

Sincerely your next-door neighbor.

Playing music that loud at 10AM was uncalled for, Evangeline. Next time, wait until 10:01.

Was googling “Petrofac Training Cup reworked” which for some reason brought up this Beatles article in the results which has nothing to do with the search itself.

I had to Google “Petrofac Training Cup” to see what you were talking about. It sounded like an athletic supporter for beginners.

Actually, you can only play Beatles music loud at 9:09.

^ Surely, one minute after 9:09 is international Beatle minute?

It is really just one after 9:09, though. The unit isn’t specified. Could be the whole hour after 9:09, or the month after 9-09.

I went out for breakfast with my mom last Friday and, on the walls of the place we were at, people can write or scribble things if they want to. I was reading the things people wrote on the wall ahead of me when I came across this written in one corner:

Life is what happens while we’re busy making other plans

J. Lennon

Double Fantasy

1980

Even though it was worded differently from the actual line, I still sort of smirked when I saw it. I didn’t see any other Beatles-related things written on the walls, but it still made my day seeing that there.

Then, on Sunday, I went to a thrift store and saw these when I was looking through the books section:

I didn’t bother getting any of them, but I did skim through each one while I was there. The only one that I seriously considered buying was the first one and since they have it at the library I just might pop in and borrow it one day. They have the Bob Spitz one at the library too, but after reading the thread on here and reviews on Amazon about it I think I’ll skip that one for now. a-hard-days-night-paul-3

Just watching the BBC News at Ten and they showed a report on North Carolina’s HB2. Mentioned during it were Bruce Springsteen and Ringo’s concert cancellations.

We are watching this week’s episode of Modern Family. Gloria and Manny are trying to encourage a reluctant Jay to get along with a new friend named Reese. During an argument, Gloria shouts out “all we are saying is give Reese a chance!”.

I went in to a restaurant I’ve been wanting to try out for a while. It is called The Garage. I had to order our food to go because it was just a bit too warm to leave the dog in the car while we went inside to eat. We have in-the-car picnics quite often. Anyway, while waiting for the order, I sat down at the nearest booth and started surveying the place. My eyes took this scene in

See if you spot the Beatley moment before revealing the spoiler.

One of the workers saw me trying to get a good picture of it and asked if I wanted to be in the picture. Nah. Then he said, “I think we have Revolver around here somewhere.” He took me through the place, but then concluded that the Revolver must be at their other location in OKC. I must visit that location. The food is great to boot.

I was taking a stroll today and came across what I presume is a bead/craft shop. 

What could be so Beatley about that, you say? a-hard-days-night-paul-10

Well, for starters, the name of the shop was “The Beadles”. a-hard-days-night-george-9
