quote:Not much. Paul & George are more openly anti John than they would be after he was murdered a few weeks later.
Got ahold of the new Peter Brown
I'm about 40% in. I'm unaware of what all is new info.
Alex claims Linda was more disliked than Yoko (which I'd read before from others). It makes sense: Yoko was merely a relentless self promoter, while Linda was a spoiled bitch
quote:Yes, I should have mentioned that.
It has a whole Neil Aspinall chapter!
He says little worth noting (he wasn't about to spill secrets). Perhaps that's why he's barely mentioned in The Love You Make.
quote:I thought Derek Taylor was the most entertaining interview
The Magic Alex interview is crazy too
I have Taylor's book, but figgered he'd never dish out dirt on the Beatles so I never bothered reading it. But he's so amusing I'm gonna have to haul it out now.

Even if true it's not totally unprecedented. I know The Who had their manager cast the deciding vote in case of ties among the members.

He made it sound like Neil was virtually always present for anything relevant.
The Manila caper was insane.

New book out:

Taken with a 35mm camera by Paul McCartney, these largely unseen photographs capture the explosive period, from the end of 1963 through early 1964, in which The Beatles became an international sensation and changed the course of music history.
Featuring 275 images from the six cities—Liverpool, London, Paris, New York, Washington, D.C., and Miami—of these legendary months
quote:
1964: Eyes of the Storm also includes:
A personal foreword in which McCartney recalls the pandemonium of British concert halls, followed by the hysteria that greeted the band on its first American visit
Candid recollections preceding each city portfolio that form an autobiographical account of the period McCartney remembers as the "Eyes of the Storm," plus a coda with subsequent events in 1964
"Beatleland," an essay by Harvard historian and New Yorker essayist Jill Lepore, describing how The Beatles became the first truly global mass culture phenomenon

Bedrooms of Beatle fans in the '60s
Posted on 4/24/24 at 7:31 pm to Kafka
I remember watching the AB episode with Strawberry Fields. I thought the song and video were great.

Oh yea, it was a big change for them. ...and the fans.

quote:The youtube comments capture it perfectly: the kids were presented with a new type of genius in real time and all they could do was talk about mustaches.

It really shows how boundary pushing it was at the time as well as how relevant the entire cultural package was (and not solely the music).
I guarantee you less than 6 months after that, many of those kids were starting to dress and wear their hair like the Beatles in that video.
