The Beatles had Rickenbacker guitars and Rickenbacker guitars had the Beatles : The Beatles and Their Rickenbacker Guitars by Björn Eriksson – “Would The Beatles have had their great success without the Rickenbacker guitars? Of course they would! Whether Rickenbacker guitars would have had their great success without the Beatles is an interesting question about which we can only speculate. A more valuable and interesting pursuit would be to explore the importance of Rickenbackers in the music of the Beatles. We will never get a chance to know for sure out so let´s drop the speculations here and now! Instead let us look back!…” http://www.rickbeat.com/beatles/beatles.htm

Yoko Ono resurrects The Plastic Ono Band with a little help from her son, Sean Lennon. – Exclusive interview with Tony Bonyata – “She’s been referred to as a witch, a dragon lady and, perhaps most famously (and inaccurately, it should be noted), as the woman who single-handedly broke up The Beatles. While Yoko Ono first made her name in the early ’60s through her provocative conceptual and performance art as part of the Fluxus movement, and then later (through John’s encouragement) in the world of music, she will undoubtedly be best remembered as not only the wife of John Lennon, but, collectively as John & Yoko; one of most renowned and polarizing couples of the last century…”
Yoko talks about working with her son Sean and her new record ‘Between My Head And The Sky’, among other things. [Read it] http://www.concertlivewire.com/onoint.htm

The 7 Most Important Beatles Songs by Paul McCartney – “I feel that Paul McCartney is unfairly marginalized by many modern rock critics and other uninformed dolts. McCartney was every bit as important to the Beatles success as Lennon was. Yet Lennon’s martyr status and his reputation from things like his “Bed In For Peace” with Yoko Ono seems to have caused a bit of revisionist history. That’s why in this piece I’m going to be focusing in on Paul McCartney’s songwriting contributions to the Beatles…”

Maureen Cleave: Did I break up The Beatles? – I doubt that she was that important, but in this article Maureen talks about the band, especially John Lennon. It was to Cleave that Lennon famously remarked: ‘Christianity will go,’ he said. ‘It will vanish and shrink. I needn’t argue about that. I’m right and I will be proved right. We’re more popular than Jesus now; I don’t know which will go first, rock ’n’ roll or Christianity.’

John Lennon’s son Julian says he has forgiven his late father for abandoning him as a child. The Beatles star, who was murdered in New York City in 1980, left his first wife Cynthia Powell for Yoko Ono and had little contact with his young son after the divorce in 1968. Julian, who’s also a musician and songwriter, began to mend his relationship with Lennon in the 1970s, but never fully forgave him for walking out on his family… [Read more] http://tinyurl.com/julian-forgives
