Vintage filmed scenes of teenage girls gasping, crying and keeling over are screened during the live Beatles show “Let It Be” in London.Then the cameras switch to us, the real-life theater audience.

At times, if I closed my eyes, it was like listening to a Beatles record. They were absolutely spot on.

Beatles Photos: See Rare Images Of The Band From The New Book 'With The Beatles'
John Lennon famously said he felt the Beatles were "more popular than Jesus," and though he would have to apologize and weather severe criticism for his comment, the band continues to be a source of legend for music fans, anglophiles and other obsessives.

Beatles For Sale: AG Rejiggers at Club Passim
There are six Beatles songs that Sony evidently does not own and AG is making them her own. AG, an out-and-about dyke singer-songwriter, has been part of the Rescues, but she's doing a tour under her own name (well, initials, her name is Adrianne Gonzalez - and no, no relation to the Red Sox former first baseman and ineffectual slugger) that stops at Club Passim Wednesday Oct.
