Someone on FB suggested that Paul's notes were in regards to photos that should be on the poster that came with the album. They clearly went in another direction, except there was a photo of John, naked, on the phone, in bed with Yoko!

Not that this will happen but rather than a revamped Back in the USSR....

Do People Want peace from Egypt station and have it go into Give Peace a Chance dedicated to Lennon and Ukraine.

This is actually not a bad list. Of course, there are at least 50 great John songs that could justifiably go on a list like this, but I could mostly live with what they have -- though I would replace "Happy Christmas" with "God."

Wouldn't that be wonderful? ✌️❤️

Yeah, it had just been released Feb. 10th! So they had 4 weeks to learn it before the radio show.

They had more time then than I thought but they still picked up on it pretty quickly.

Your listing there, Nance, is excellent.

I will add, though, Hey Jude.... one of my faves.

Thanks! Yeah, that should be on the list. I'm just tired of hearing it after about a million or so times! 😂

That is hysterically funny.  Newspapers' music critics were only capable of writing about classical music and such.  That's what they were employed to do. If what they listened to or watched wasn't any of that, it was just terrible and a total waste of time. There were no such things as rock music critics.  Yet.  After the Beatles, there were.  What's even funnier is that the nonsense this guy and others like him wrote was totally ignored by those who mattered.....millions of kids.

How do you ruin a radio channel that plays the greatest band ever 24/7? Two words....solo Ringo! Specifically too much solo Ringo

John Lennon's eldest son Julian is selling several pieces of music history from his personal collection.

However, he will keep the physical items as each piece of memorabilia will be sold as a non-fungible token (NFT).

Items being auctioned include a black cape worn by his father in the film Help! and handwritten notes for The Beatles song Hey Jude.

NFTs have been touted as the digital answer to collectables, but critics have warned about risks in the market.

Watched In His Life: The John Lennon Story last night on YouTube. Released in 2000. A FB friend of mine, Roy Matthews, was an extra and a stand-in for Freddie Lennon in it. He supposedly had 3 bit parts (in the background) but I never spotted him.

Jam-packed!
