I did my dream tour of Liverpool two summers ago. This is a couple of shots I thought were interesting:

The medals John wore on the cover of Pepper from Rogue Best's museum.

Teenage John Lennon graffiti scrawled into the wall of the Cavern Club

This is a panel at the entrance to the Cavern Club that has been autographed over the years by many Rock greats. I was particularly taken with Noddy Holder of Slade's autograph.

The Mersey ferry terminal that had just been rechristened the Gerry Marsden ferry terminal. The name change had happened just prior to my visit, and they hadn't had time to change the sign yet.

Very interesting! Paul and George just wore their own MBE medals for Sgt. Pepper's, while John and Ringo wore miniature sets of others' medals. John borrowed Pete Best's grandfather's medals, as presented by Roag Best in his Liverpool Beatles Museum. Though some articles say Ringo wore no medals, there's much evidence that he did wear a string of miniature medals similar to John, but info on them is harder to find.

Now that is very cool and something I had never known before.

I'm a 53 year old dude.
Although I still play out weekly, I am coming to grips with the fact that Rock music seems basically dead and I am living in a post rock age. I love rock and roll, man!!
I played with a drummer not too long ago that declared "how much he hated playing rock music" I guess because he thought it was so simple. :bored:
Well, these events have pushed me back into the Beatles. I am a huge fan anyway but coupled with the fact that many younger musicians view them as ancient, archaic, golden oldies type music, it makes me just want to get into the old albums and talk about them and their records even more. The Beatles were like "magic" back in the day and of course I can't expect the next generations to understand "that particular special time period" but I wondered if anybody else feels like talking about the Beatles.

Favorite songs, records, album covers, instruments and whatever anybody wants to talk about, I would definitely be interested in reading it.
To start,
I was thinking about which Beatle songs were under-rated and wondered which three tunes would be on your list?

I think I would go with:
1) Bad Boy
2) It's Only Love
3) What You're Doing

Any thoughts from the bass thumping brethren?

I worked over the last several years with a music project called Howland Hyatt. Led by drummer Stet Howland and guitarist Johnny Hyatt, this was the first song that I recorded for their eventual full-length CD that was released in May of 2022. Here is "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by Howland Hyatt.

Oh, like, Orbison himself didn't have any unreleased material they could have used?!?

Right? After all, there was a closer bond between Roy and the Beatles that dated all the way back to the early 60’s. It would have been far more of a loving tribute than just that one quick shot of the empty chair in the video for “End Of The Line”.
I was surprised that, according to the report, Elvis Presley, INC(let alone RCA)would agree to any of the surviving Beatles having access to any of his intellectual property. But beyond that, the entire “Free As A Bird” historical revisionism was the first time I lost respect for the Threetles. If using old Elvis outtakes was a “gimmick”, what was that all about(besides the obvious)? I found it to be even more crass, on a par(if not beyond) with what was done to Hank Williams and Buddy Holly. Just let it be, boys. The band belongs in the 60’s, historically, artistically, and poetically.
