*sighs*


Love Young Master Turner and Young Miles.

Turner and Kane played four covers in the set, the first of which was The Beatles' 'I Want You (She's So Heavy)' from the 1969 'Abbey Road' album, to the delight of the Liverpool crowd.

Peter and Macca

Sir Paul: Like me being a bass player. Which now I'm very proud of, it's my role and I'm happy with it. But at first it was the loser role in the group. It's usually the fat guy who stands at the back. So I was a bit unhappy when I got that job, I wanted to be up front with the guitar. But I had such a crappy little guitar, a Rosetti Lucky 7, and it was cheap. My Dad was very against the never-never hire purchase, and was like, 'Pay your way, lad. Never be under an obligation to anyone.' Which was good advice. But the others - John's Auntie Mimi and George's Dad - didn't have that problem - so they would get their guitars. I had this crappy thing which was really just a piece of wood with a pick-up on it. It looked quite glamorous, but we took it over to Hamburg and I think someone smashed it - like early Pete Townshend. Fuck!

Oh, my mom is going to LOVE this

Scorcese is going to do a biopic about George Harrison. Wow- talk about your must-see films! D'ya suppose he'd consider making a docu about Ringo?

Fresh from his work on the Bob Dylan and Rolling Stones documentaries, Martin Scorsese is set to tackle another mainstay of 60s music with a film about the life and times of the late George Harrison. In addition to his directing role, Scorsese will produce the film alongside Nigel Sinclair and Harrison's widow Olivia.

I know, I know

that it was the 40th anniversary of 'Sgt. Pepper's' last week, and that this is from 'A Hard Day's Night.'

But this is just lovely.....

A Hard Day's Night

Seemed appropriate, as I've had a hard day's night, and have indeed been working like a dog. Also, I have pictures from the Marylebone tube stop in LDN from my History of British Rock and Roll study abroad program. Who would have thunk it? Snerk.

Oasis - Whatever/Octopus's Garden

In honor of My Beloved Noel, Our Kid and associated Oasis members receiving the Lifetime Achievement award at the Brit Awards today, presented by Ringo Starr, here's the brothers from Burnage at Knebworth Park on August 11, 1996.

With Big Brother singing the Beatles bit. I'm in fookin' heaven. My 21st birthday. Obviously, Noel and I are written in the Starrs. Hee hee.
