Hmmm… You guys do make some good points there.  Thanks for all of your input! But, I think @Beatlebug made a good point with Yellow Submarine .  It is still a movie about a long journey, and it’s WAY more enjoyable than my original plan.  Sadly, most people just don’t like Magical Mystery Tour .ahdn_paul_01

Edit: When making my original post, I completely forgot about some of the more “adult” moments in MMT.  Sorry, it’s been a really long time since I’ve seen it.  Yeah, something tells me our chaperones wouldn’t appreciate thata-hard-days-night-ringo-12

Also, @Starr Shine? is probably right in saying that I should’ve posted this in a different thread.  paul-mccartney-facepalm_gifBut, as Peter Green would say, “oh well”.

I did have a Beatley moment recently though.  At my cousin’s wedding, the priest used a quote from John Lennon during the ceremony.  “A dream you dream alone is only a dream.  A dream you dream together is a reality.”

Cool. I’m just a state below you, @limitlessundyinglove.

I just got back from a trip to DC. If you get to go in the National Archives, look for this Beatley item.

Also, if you get a chance, go to Hard Rock Cafe and see The Beatles items there.

That’s actually the first place we’re supposed to be eating at!  I have been to DC before and to that particular restaurant before, but that was back when I didn’t care about anything Beatles related.a-hard-days-night-paul-3

I’ve had a multitude of Beatley Moments in the past little while:

– I was reading some random magazine and one of the titles of a section was: “And Your Bluebird Can Sing”

– Whilst on a walk yesterday I noticed a car with an Abbey Road license plate, which was kind of funny because the car itself was near a crosswalk. a-hard-days-night-paul-7

– At the garden center I went to today, I saw a guy with a Beatles t-shirt

As I have mentioned elsewhere, I am currently reading Ginger Baker’s autobiography. I’m only 120 pages in and, thus far, the following Beatle people have been in the story.

 

Denny Laine

Brian Epstein (twice)

Linda Eastman (pre-Paul)

Billy Preston 

George Harrison    

Reading this a little bit further.  I just read a part that Paul and Wings factored heavily, where they recorded part of Band On The Run in a Lagos, Nigeria recording studio built and owned by Ginger Baker.

My place of work is full of Beatle things.

I see wall decor with phrases like “All You Need Is Love ” and “Let it Be” all. the. time. There are also combined things like “All You Need Is Love and a good cup of Coffee” and stuff like that. Coffee is also a thing I enjoy. Oh boy.

We even have a few posters with the Anthology and Abbey Road album covers, and a big 24×36 print of the photo taken with them in front of the U.S. flag. Also a John Lennon NYC picture among many other images as well but I haven’t really checked them all, but they’re in there.

Co-workers point these things out to me (as well as all the new Doctor Who stuff, oh GOD) and they probably think I’m insane.

They have been playing lots of instrumental Beatles music over the PA. It makes me happy. So happy.

I’m surrounded by it at work. Every day. I swear corporate has a soft spot for the group – it’s definitely showing.

Not sure if this should be asked or can/will be answered (and thats cool, no issue if it cant be) but i’d love to know where you work @Midori78 and if they are looking for workers. Not sure i’d get much work done tho with all those Beatles images.

No worries, I work at Hobby Lobby. There seem to be many new stores popping up so handing in an application couldn’t hurt. Maybe there is one near you, @meanmistermustard a-hard-days-night-ringo-10

Was watching Three’s Company earlier (hilarious show, by the way) and Jack had a girl over named Rita. He called her “lovely”. a-hard-days-night-george-10

I am sad today. This skinny 13 yo boy found his heroes early, almost 52 years ago. Beautiful, brash, talented guys who, if hated by “grown-ups”, couldn’t be THAT bad. They gave me my rebel spirit. I lost yet another hero today. Stand up and believe in your vision. Know that your heart is good. Be fierce. Be proud. Like my beloved David Bowie sang, “We can be Heroes…” if just for one kid. Walk in Peace and Celebrate your Heart. Somebody is waiting for your vision. Share it. Thank you, Ali. Rest in Peace.

I have a friend named Lucy. It gets even more Beatley with her middle name; Rita. I wonder if her parents are Beatles fans

I bet there are a few young men on this forum who would ask her out in a split second. LOL.

I was at Goodwill looking in the record section, and a guy was inspecting a Beatles record (Beatles ’65). I conjured up the saddest expression and stared at the record. 10 seconds later the album was in my hands out the door (just as Instant Karma started playing too).

Also, I don’t get the whole arrow motif with the Let it Be piece, but we also have a ton of arrow-themed stuff and I guess it just bled over. Arrow all the things!!

 

And on the colorful “All You Need Is Love ” piece (third one down) the lettering is goil foil. =)
