During lunch break at work, I was reading Ian MacDonald's book, and a coworker asked me what I was reading. He was duly impressed to see it was about The Beatles, and told me he'd read The Beatles A to Z and that he might have to check this one out too.

Not sure where to put this, but I just recalled this memory from when I'd just become a Beatle fan when I was 8:
Someone explained the Paul is dead rumor to me, and it was around the same time I heard about people spraypainting "Frodo lives!" on subway stations and walls. I somehow decided the two were related. I also came away with the impression that people in the 60s were passionate about weird things and had a lot of time on their hands.

Guess the song xD
Never thought of that, but that's a good idea. Maybe Joe could delete this and re-name the other one?
There's a Dutch band called Rigby. I think you can guess where they got their name from.
I think there's also another picture with the same idea, but instead there's a shark and half a man inside it.

Last night me and my dude were having a "sneaky puff" outside our front door. We ended up in a fairly deep conversation about dear old John
, and how horribly ironic fate it was that he was shot with a gun. I had the Anthology playing through, and when we walked back in, it was on Vol. 3, disc 1, 2nd track.. Happiness Is A Warm Gun (demo).. Then my dude walked down the hall and the broom fell on him out of nowhere..
.. hi John.. 
Around '83 when I was enamoured of Tangerine Dream, I read somewhere that they took their name from "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds", and I remember being briefly unsure whether I'd been mishearing the "Tangerine trees..." lyric all along! I'm still not sure whether I just read incorrect information, or whether they took the "Tangerine" from that lyric and the "Dream" from elsewhere. (Or hmm, maybe they just misheard the lyric themselves, English not being their first language after all.)

Not so much named, but Wakko from The Animaniacs cartoon, voice was model after John Lennon's. I didn't find that out until this past Monday. Again, another I did not connect with off the bat.
Didn't one of them have a Ringo voice?
You can hear Paul's duet with Eric Clapton, "All of Me" here.

I spotted a person wearing a Rubber Soul tee with designed with a Yellow Submarinish style. It was barely a second too, as I saw it on the telly. I guess I've got quick eyes when it comes to the Beatles.
Semes like Yahoo got the news too:

I was watching an episode of The Brady Bunch where Marcia was trying to get Davy Jones to perform at the prom, and somebody said something about getting The Beatles to perform. Like Linde, I smiled like an idiot.
Also, my sister brought home a color-by-number from school on Friday, and the sky was orange (who said color-by-numbers have to be realistic?). I got really excited and I shouted, "Oh my gosh, marmalade skies!" 
Also, my Beatles playlist (on shuffle) just played You Like Me Too Much and then Tell Me What You See (TMWYS comes after ...
I've merged the threads and re-titled the Simpsons one (which is now this). Thanks for the suggestion.
You're welcome .
I came across this one a long time ago by accident. The Yoko parts are pretty annoying, just to warn you..
These are really well done:
I love those! Two of my favorite things in Beatles RockBand.
Sad news for Cynthia and Julian. Her husband, Noel Charles, has passed away.
