How do you guys remember this stuff?!
For a lot of people, the sixties was the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. For some others, the sixties was the Beatles and the Flintstones.
For me, it was The Beatles and Star Trek, so I see what you mean!Beatles and Trek are the epitome of the 60's for me also. It helps that they were both so fantastic, creative, and visionary, and that they have held up well beyond their original runs!
Oh yes, for me too! I've got the original series pretty much memorized; I even got the boxed set of all the music from that series a little over a year ago: 15 CDs! It was amazing how much I could picture just listening to it, but I guess the closest Star Trek ever got to the Beatles was the "space hippies" episode (yes, all those songs are in the box) and Chekov's hairdo!
Trek has a few Beatles references. Spock sports a Beatles cut! but on the Trouble with Tribbles, Charlie Brill basically wears a Beatles suit without a tie as his costume. PIDers find that significant since they claim that it was Brill who was shot that night in December 1980 not Lennon (yep. they really believe that) and that William Campbell played on the Klingon Kolath on the same Tribble episode.

KO, Sounds like some of these folks have waaaay too much time on their hands
A reverse John is dead theory too, huh? Just like Jim Morrison is still alive somewhere. 
Of course he too is disguised with a Beatle haircut! 
"Lost in Space" also had a space hippie episode. I remember Will Robinson having to take a quiz with loud rock music playing. -
I remember the "Way Outs" and thought about mentioning them, but I don't remember any Beatle references...just those whacky costumes made up of discs. Their theme song was pretty cool too!

Not a bad song, really, but that blatant theft grated on my nerves when it was a hit!

Audley's Piano:
Aye, I am probably guilty of a Technical Fault with the rules, but I Only Mean to Refer to A Proper Name, and not a dirty blue. I used the HTML Escape Character for the capital letter 'D'. But if you use it to talk dirty blue, then I Think the use of the HTML Escape Character would be construed as the deliberate intent to thwart the forum censor software and that would definitely be a violation, I'm sure. In general, HTML Escape Characters are used when, for instance, you mean to type a text character that already exists as a command character switch in the HTML language code that The Internet uses to process the data, in which case you should then use a proper name, else an escape character for it to appear as text or in a legitimate URL, etc. That is why some URLs appear with a combination of an ampersand & followed by a number sign #, then a number and semicolon ; . Those four components are likely an Escape Character in use to prevent the computers from reading it as a command switch.
Ummm...you lost me after "Aye."

I wonder just where *that* was supposed to be posted. And I wonder what they got?

Translation: he's basically using special codes to trick the dirty word detection software into not seeing the dirty word--which in this context is not a dirty word at all -- not unlike me saying I'd (unfortunately) just seen a c o c k fight

Isn't it easier to just put a space between the letters? -
Yes!

Sissy Spacek under the name Rainbow recorded a song about John Lennon's Two Virgin photo called John You Went Too Far
I don't get the outrage. The man was obviously an exhibitionist judging by how many times he appeared naked on film -
I for one could do without seeing either John or Yoko naked! Ever see the cinematic treat "Fly"?? Now there's a sight for sore eyes!!

I have all their art films on DVD. Ever see the one with all the naked butts walking?
: -
Wow -- you are hard core!!
So she actually made that film of the butts?? Apparently before she met John, she'd approached Al Stewart ("Year of the Cat") regarding that "film" because he owned a decent two-track reel-to-reel and I think he'd actually lent her some money for the project. Al likes to say when she met John she moved on from him because John had a bigger one (tape deck). -
I don't even remember which one it was...John & Yoko had a few art films: two virgins, no. 5, apotheosis, erection, freedom, smile (upgrade), apotheosis (upgrade), fly, up your legs forever

Please tell me erection is not a "film" about what it sounds like what it's about

No. It's a building being erected! Very BORING.
-
Whew!!
Well I was rivetted to my chair during Fly wondering where that ol' fly was gonna go next! 
ops: I only saw the movie recently, bought the album ("soundtrack"?) back around 1980 -- was in the cutout bin for a buck. Only reason I bought it was because it was on Apple Records
