We were out of town visiting family this weekend. When I was at my mom and aunt's place, my aunt found a huge pile of old burned cd's, all about 10 to 12 years old. So on the way home we went though them in the car. Now it's embarrassing but I admit that I went though a phase for a bit in my late teens, where I listened to a lot of rap. I had a little sports car with a loud strero, I went to the club a lot... it was just my lifestyle at the time. I've ...

fabfouremily on Beatle song titles and lyrics in the media
I don´t know if he means to ''quote'' The Beatles but the cook Jamie Oliver always says put this... that...here, there and everywhere. Maybe I´m just trying to see them in everything
fabfouremily on If you could ask just one question.....
It would be interesting to see if he thinks that he denied George of any help from him in the early years...I know George always thought that Paul wasn´t interested in helping him, just being helped...
robert on If you could ask just one question.....
I would ask, "when really was the last time all four of you were together in the same room" - there is that story of the dinner during the master of All Things Must Pass - did it really happen though?
Velvet Hand on If you could ask just one question.....
I'd probably ask about the Venus and Mars sessions that John was (allegedly?) planning to visit together with May Pang (in early 1975?) just before he got back together with Yoko, but didn't - just because I've been wondering what exactly happened there ever since I first read that story somewhere (not too long ago), and what exactly Paul knows/remembers about it.
Is this mentioned in any of the Paul biographies (none of which I've read), by the way?

What's going on in Europe? ...Or do I not want to know?

Over the past few weeks lot of processed beef products have been found to contain horse. Some just trace amounts, which could just be contamination, but there have been things like beefburgers found that are up to 100% horse meat. It's spread across several countries, and causing quite a fuss.

I wouldn't ask him anything about the Beatles or his music. I would be so nervous with whatever I asked, if I had to think about it I probably wouldn't make any sense, and would end up sounding stupid. I'd probably just ask him what makes him happiest, or what his favorite joke is. Something like that.

You know there is a problem when you go into a supermarket and notice a ton of frozen burgers are missing from their space and the others are not selling. It doesnt help that frozen beefburgers are horrible anyway, especially the supermarket own brand, same with ready meals. Hopefully this debacle will persuade folks to buy real meat from their supermarket, butcher etc, which they can prepare at home. Shop sensibly and look in the reduced fridge section before you buy elsewhere, put them in the freezer for the week, month or whenever. Its better for you as its got none of ...
meanmistermustard on If you could ask just one question.....
As long as you didnt ask "when are the beatles kids joining you and Paul/Ringo for a reunion" you'd be fine.
I'd like to ask Ringo 'what does he think is his best solo release and what was one was the most fun to make?'. I figure if i asked a non beatle question he might like me and not walk off shaking his head and cursing under his breath. Plus its not a question you see him get asked very often.
Paul seems to have been asked everything, so on thought i'd ask the same as above. And then whack him with ...

Reminds me of a time when I was at amusement park a few years ago... A friend and I were riding cars (rides, not real) that skidded all over the place because it was pouring. We kept singing Her Comes the Sun at the top of our lungs while ignoring the strange looks we got from other people.
parlance on Beatle LOLs!
Came across this Onion infographic from October. A couple of the "history" items made me giggle, notably:
Mar. 11, 1967: Paul McCartney’s absentminded humming of the Bonanza theme song shoots straight to the top of the Billboard Hot 100
Aug. 8, 1969: After several dozen attempts, the photographer finally gets a shot of the Beatles crossing Abbey Road without Ringo looking directly into the camera

You know you're a hardcore Beatles fan when you play them for your puppy, and it makes you happy when she then sits up and starts wagging her tail (because obviously she's a Beatles fan).

A lot going on right now. Touring with big name acts, record in the UK charts and a whole album in the can. Plus an almost unnoticed appearance on US radio. http://beatlesplus50.blogspot......redux.html

Egroeg, that was an allusion to John's claim to have written "70% or better" of "Eleanor Rigby"'s lyrics! Sorry if I was being a bit obscure - I figured everyone would get the reference. (With the winking smiley and all.) And also I felt it was easier ...

My math teacher choreographs Color Guard routines. Today in class she showed us a video of the Color Guard's latest performance. The song that they performed to? Earth, Wind and Fire's cover of Got to Get You Into My Life.
