Straws anyone?

Beatles fans have always grasped at straws with "hidden messages". Some of the "Paul is dead" stuff is really interesting, but some is just rubbish that people read way too much into.

Here we go again. Apparently if you play a track from Paul's new FIREMAN album (the track is "Don't Stop Running") you get a message saying "'Warmer than the sun, cooler than the air". People are saying that is a jab at Heather.

Um...reaching much?

Paul's publicist said is trying to calm such rumors.

Beatles guru dies

The Maharishi, the Beatles guru who John disowned, died in his sleep. Shame. Was he a fraud or did John just overreact as some thought? Doesn't matter in the end. I hope he has found peace.

Photoshoppers.

Apparently a singer an up and coming Belarusian singer has some a fake photo with Paul McCartney floating around. Her publicist says it's real, Paul's says it's a fake.

Oh boy.

The real 5th Beatle

Pete Best recently told another tale of the Beatles wild days in Hamburg. Apparently George Harrison once threw up (not surprising after hearing all the stories of their conditions) and everyone refused to clean it up. People would add random odd things to the mess and it was referred to as a member of the group dubbed "The Thing". It lasted for about two weeks until the owner of their hostel cleaned it up, but not before the band had a funeral.

Sean Lennon record label

Just like dear old daddy, Sean is starting a record label.

The website linked doesn't say much because I wasn't able to get it in English, but I am sure more info will come soon.

I noticed his ex Yuka Honda is on the label. The appears to be some sort of project revisiting the Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band album which is really whats interesting me...

Bigger than Jesus, more like bigger than God!

John claimed that the Beatles were bigger than Jesus. Well we all know how that ended up right?

Apparently a recent poll has suggested that Simon Cowell (you know, the mean guy from AMERICAN IDOL) is more famous than God.

.................WHAT???

Methinks there may be an error.

Got Yoko Ono

I was browsing through random Beatles stuff on the eBay and found a bumper sticker that said "Got Yoko Ono?" for a dollar. Free shipping too since it was also right here in Florida. I knew I had to have it. It was just such an odd and unexplainable piece of merchandise unlike any other I had seen.

Just what does it mean to have Yoko Ono anyway?
