I recently discovered that Beatles music can actually be a great conversation starter. I have just returned from a vacation Florida Keys with my husband and parents. One evening we were driving from Key West to our vacation home in Key Colony Beach when some Beatles music came on the radio. The song we heard was Eleanor Rigby, which comes from the 1966 album Revolver. Eleanor Rigby is a John Lennon and Paul McCartney classic. When we heard it that evening it reminded my father that he had... Read Full Story

 It has almost been four decades since the Beatles went their separate ways but that has not extinguished their popularity in the least bit. People like me who were two generations past their hay day are still listening to their music and falling in love with their sound. This point can be hammered home with a new photo inspired exhibition at Doncaster in South Yorkshire, England that features an array of classic Beatles pictures. All the money for the exhibition is going to the Bluebell... Read Full Story

John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr were just four ordinary lads from Liverpool. Before they got together to form the most legendary rock and role band of all time, I bet none of them had the faintest idea what the future had in store for them. What was it about the Beatles that made them so successful? In my opinion, it wasnt just about their excellent music. The Beatles succeeded because ordinary working class people could easily relate to them. When I look at... Read Full Story

Even though their last album came out almost forty years ago, I still think that the Beatles music is relevant to the audiences of today. No, I'm not talking about aging Baby Boomers who put on a Beatles CD so they can relive their glory days. If you pay any attention at all to contemporary popular music, you'll hear a lot of covers of Beatles music, some of them strikingly different from the originals, but still featuring the lyrics written by Paul McCartney, John Lennon. John and and George... Read Full Story

I first became a fan of The Beatles when I was fourteen years old circa 1990, more than twenty-five years after the band first became popular. My fascination with The Beatles began when I watched a documentary all about them. I especially liked John Lennon because I felt that he had more charisma than the other Beatles, and a better singing voice. I knew then that the world had been robbed ten years before when John Lennon was shot dead in New York. I can vaguely remember the death of John... Read Full Story

 Beatles fans take note! One fourth of the Fab Four is on tour this summer. That's right, Ringo Starr, the most genial and relaxed of the famous quartet has taken his All-Starr Band on tour with a host of Ringo's own tunes on display, and a handful of old Beatles favorites. Backing up Ringo this time out are Colin Hay from Men Down Under, Gary Wright, Billy Squire, Hamish Stewart of the Average White Band, and finally, the great Albino rocker Edgar Winter. Although Ringo shot to fame as the... Read Full Story

When I think about the renowned British rock band The Beatles, I automatically envision John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Even George Harrison springs to mind before Beatles drummer Ringo Starr. To be fair, Ringo Starr probably deserves far more recognition than he commonly receives. As the drummer in The Beatles, Starr initiated a fresh style of rhythm in pop music. If you listen to modern day rock bands, you can tell that many drummers have been heavily influenced by Ringo Starr. In truth... Read Full Story

 The Beatles may not have performed live for more than four decades but fans still cant get enough of the music the remaining band members are still making. It has been a long time since Ringo Starr had a mop top but he is still performing with an all star crew he put together. Ringo doesnt have enough fan support to fill monster arenas anymore but enough Beatles fans will come out to see in him in smaller venues such as the Mohegan Sun in a Connecticut Casino. Ringo Starr has performed at... Read Full Story

  The Beatles are still making headlines after intimate portraits of Ringo Starr and John Lennon went on display in a New York City exhibition yesterday.  The portraits have never been released to the public, making them a great weekend activity for all the Beatles music lovers out in New York. One of the coolest facts about the pictures is that Nancy Andrews, once Ringo Starrs fiance, took some of the pictures. The ones not taken by Andrews are from May Pang who started as the band's...
