I had a funny thought that I was looking to share with someone and the residents of East Portland were the first people that came to mind. Helter skelter, and Wabi Sabi oscillate in an edgy mitosis. Just listening to and watching a video of The Beatles writing said song. Seams they are pretty high …
Here’s the Youtube description for the Beatles song and video recently conceived and retrieved by Beatle documentarist Peter Jackson: “Now and Then’s eventful journey to fruition took place over five decades and is the product of conversations and collaborations between the four Beatles that go on to this day. The long mythologised John Lennon demo …

Social historian and the coolest guy in the 21st Century, Pat Thomas, just tweeted: “60 years ago this week – the Beatles debut LP is unleashed into the world (at least in the U.K.); so fresh, visceral, original, vibrant – still exciting to hear it today – it topped the British album charts for 30 …

[Ed. Note: This thrilling clip of Mitzi Gaynor and four gorgeous men is from the dress rehearsal of the February 16, 1964 episode of the Ed Sullivan show. Famed British rockers, the Beatles, also appeared on Sullivan’s show that night, their second of three consecutive weekly appearances.] It’s quite a rousing jangling version of what …
There is a country in the Far East which produces more quality cover bands per capita than anywhere else and these lads are from there.
Continuing with today’s Beatles theme… my favorite song by anyone, I suppose. From one of my favorite movies; it’s terribly silly, but you can’t beat the cinematography… or that music. I don’t know why I’ve always loved this song so much, other than I can relate to the sentiments and phrases. It’s the greatest sing-along. …
A Beatles album’s ability to take you away from wherever you are, perhaps even from what you are, has always been one of the band’s strongest selling points. Rubber Soul, Magical Mystery Tour, Sgt. Pepper’s, Help!, The Beatles For Sale, and this one – they take you places. As exciting as the first song is, …
another item that recently sold from Ringo’s warehouse of memorabilia. this is (strangely) the VERY FIRST rock and roll logo/brand/id/trademark in history (note: even elvis didn’t have a logo). the story on it is even more peculiar. according to Bodhi Oser’s amazing little book, “BAND ID, The Ultimate Book of Band Logos” (chronicle books, 2008), …
As rock ‘n’ roll evolved into Rock in the later Sixties, there arose a distinct category of bands, the “Superstar Bands” in which each individual member was a so-called superstar instrumentalist (Cream, Blind Faith, Led Zeppelin, for example). During that period it became rather popular to say that The Beatles and that Ringo in particular …
Interesting to note that during the week of the protests at the Chicago Democratic Convention in ’68, the Beatles released “Revolution” and the Stones “Street Fighting Man” as singles. – Pat Thomas is the author of Listen, Whitey!

50 years ago The Beatles were introduced to America. Aside from their music, which still stands on its own merits, they helped launch what we now think of as The Sixties. They didn’t start it, of course. After all, the other strands were there — the yearnings for racial equality, artistic restlessness, and a burgeoning …
This isn’t even one of my top 20 favorite songs by The Beatles , and there is still so much to learn in terms of composition, performance, and production from this deep ass cut. Great band, right up there with Kool & The Gang and Frankie Beverly’s band Maze. – Davin Michael Stedman
“Would you believe in a love at first sight?” “Yes, I’m certain that it happens all the time.” “What do you see when you turn out the light?” “I can’t tell you, but I know it’s mine.” Once in a while, you need a “Beatles day” – and Sunday was one of those days. One …
Overheard at a restaurant: “that’s the thing about rock ‘n roll… It makes you feel like the future is endless… And we all know that isn’t true.” Soon thereafter, The Beatles “Tomorrow Never Knows” comes on the restaurant sound system. Very surreal and telling moment for me. – Marco Collins is currently working at JetCitystream.
