The Love You Make

I'm almost done with "The Love You Make" by Peter Brown. (I'm on page 362 out of 406 pages.) I am loving it! I don't want it to ever end, which is why I read it so fast & now it's taking me forever to pick up the book to finish it. When it's over, it's over. I don't want it to be over. (If anyone has suggestions on what to do next, let me know & I'll be happy to read anything Beatles-related that I haven't read yet or recently!)

The one thing I really have found fascinating about the book is how some information conflicts with things I've read from other people who were there...people who also should know the truth. It makes you wonder who is right, who is wrong, who is lying, and who's not trying to lie but is mistaken. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn a lot. Most of the information does not conflict with other books and it's got plenty of awesome details to make your brain smile! If I think of more to say, I'll add it in a comment on this entry. Thanks!

Lennon In America (1971-1980)

This is going to be a very short entry because I don't want to give anything away, but I'd love to hear what people have to say about the book "Lennon In America" by Geoffrey Giuliano. Apparently, I'm reading a "fully revised and updated" version of the book, so I'm not sure what the differences may be.


Anyway...if anyone is open-minded enough to want to hear all sorts of crazy truths that you've never known before, I'd recommend this book to fans! I'm not sure how many times my jaw has hit the floor, but I cannot get enough of reading this book! As much as I know and as much as I've studied the lads my entire life, I am finding out plenty of goodies and am glad the author was able to include so much from John's personal diaries. I feel closer to him than ever.


PS: This is not the 1st Giuliano book I've read. He seems to always make my jaw hit the floor and teach me a lot. Thank you, sir!

The Last Testament Of A PHONY.

Ever since it came out in 2010, I've been itching to see "Paul McCartney Really Is Dead: The Last Testament Of George Harrison." Why? It looked hilarious. I never saw it, though, because it used to only be available for purchase. I didn't want to give one penny to these fools, but now it's available on Netflix and I was able to watch it without giving them anything. I'm so glad I saw this! It was so entertaining and funny! Oh my gosh!

For those of you who have never heard of it, the basic story behind this documentary is that a mysterious package showed up on a Hollywood doorstep and they believe that these audio cassettes are George Harrison's confession to the truth behind the "Paul Is Dead" hoax of 1966. I've always been entertained by the hoax, not because I'd ever believe it, but because it's simply fun to look at all the "clues." Anyway, the advertisement video for the documentary was ridiculous, but watching the whole thing was even worse...or should I say better, hahaha!

Well...in my humble opinion, I must say that the documentary is far beyond the stupidity that I was already expecting. It was actually so much worse than I knew it would be. There are SO many reasons why this documentary is a disaster. I don't want to spoil all the fun, so I won't mention details, but the more you know about the truth, the more you'll catch so very wrong with it...although I don't think anyone in the world could ever even consider any of this to be possible. It's insane, but fun to watch people who are convinced it's real lay out their "proof!"

*SPOILER ALERT: I thought that statements such as John actually writing "Yesterday" about Paul in 1966 even though Paul clearly debuted the song himself in 1965 (before his "death") were bad until I realized that Paul first met Heather Mills in 1966, two years before she was even born! She was born in 1968, people! LOL...love it.

There are SOOO many things wrong with this documentary, even for those who would believe this to be the truth...there's mistakes that prove it's wrong! Everyone needs to watch this for a good laugh. I was crying with laughter all evening. By the way...who would ever even believe that's George's voice? LOL

Love Me Sutcliffe?

Back in October, BWTB played a clip of Stu singing his famous "Love Me Tender" act. I was so excited...but now after seeing this, I'm starting to become INCREDIBLY suspicious! Let me know what you think:

Rivals?

Allegedly, Ringo has invited Paul every time he's formed an "All-Starr" line-up and Paul has declined every time. On 12 January 2012, BeatlesNews.com reported that the two still hang out. There was the big controversy over them performing at the Olympics together again...I think the conclusion is that Paul will be performing, but Ringo will not be with him. They performed together a few years ago in NY!

They're both about to release albums. Ringo's release date is in about two weeks on the 31st and Paul's release date is a week later, the 7th of February. (I think both are up for pre-orders already!) Are they friends or not? I can't imagine that they're rivals, but the close release dates seems like something someone might have made sure to avoid. Am I just being suspicious because everyone else seems to be or is this just not a big deal? It shouldn't be if it is, honestly! Everyone loves both of them and they're actually incomparable...I just think of it as a great way for us fanatics to start our year off! :D
