Thanksgiving

Hope everyone enjoyed their holiday! I just got back from a last minute visit home in South Florida.

While there I read my new book about the Beatles cartoons . Very nice book about a subject I don't think any other book has exclusively focused on before. Informative and I learned a lot.

Once I got my copies of the cartoons, hopefully in the next few weeks, I think I will try and upload them on the website.

Yes.

You will be able to watch EVERY episode!

Rod Davis invites Paul McCartney, Julian and Sean Lennon to play with Quarrymen

The Rod Davis interview is now posted.

Interestingly enough he mentioned that it might be cool to have Paul McCartney sit in on bass for the reformed and touring Quarrymen. He extended an invitation which he added also applies to Julian and Sean Lennon. Would be awesome if this could happen!

iTunes stalling again

My dad just sent this article to me.

Apparently iTunes won't be releasing the Beatles tracks anytime soon. Not surprised. Don't hold your breath.

In other news got MCCARTNEY YEARS in the mail yesterday and have been enjoying it!

Happy 40th birthday WHITE ALBUM....or Beatles self titled as Eric says it is really called.

Oh and WITH THE BEATLES..

....and me.

Website has some updates too btw

Rod Davis

The interview was this morning. Went very well and I will be posting it sometime in the next few days.

He mentioned wanting Paul to sit in on bass for the reformed Quarrymen...or Julian. Either way could be interesting.

SURPRISE

I didn't say anything for months just in case something fell through. It's happened before.

After some planning and e-mails, I am very pleased to annouce that tommorow morning I will be recording an interview with Rod Davis, an original member of the Quarrymen.

Did you know the Quarrymen are still making music and touring?

Learn more when I post the interview after editing it. Look for it sometime this weekend!

Twilight

Tonight a big movie sensation "Twilight" opens. I've heard about the books are really popular. Harry Potter level popular. The movie looks to be big too. I am catching the midnight showing in less than 2 hours actually.

Why am I writing about this here?

Because an article recently said that this will be popularity of Beatles levels.

No.

Just no.

Over 40 years later we still have Beatles websites, tribute bands, and new biographies.

Do you really see this happening with Twilight?

I think it'll be good. But it isn't the Beatles!

Sources

Apparently "sources" say Olivia Harrison might not approve the release of "Carnival Of Light". I haven't heard anyone aside from Paul actually say anything and "sources" could be a hairdresser of a cousin speculating.

Either way, told you all not to get excited.

I've been really busy with my non-Beatle life and my non-Beatle job but things are settling in and I would like to do more with this blog. Yes, I know I've been saying that forever but I hope to not just be blowing smoke this time.

I was in New York this weekend and took my DVD's for my portable player to watch on the plane. I decided to rewatch "Across The Universe" because I haven't seen it since last year in the theatres. I also saw "Dewey Cox" which has some Beatle stuff in there, including Jack Black as Paul McCartney.

Reading material? My mother got me the new Phillip Norman bio on Lennon. Some good stuff and bad stuff in there. I'm still reading it and I will post my further thoughts on it later.

In the meantime post on Shabby you all!
