Re-meet the Beatles
Wonder upon wonders, "new" material from the Beatles is still springing forth - on Apple apps, videodiscs, CD, and soon at a movie theater near you.-Material evidence.George Harrison was the gearhead of the group - quite a good photographer and gadget lover - and also a media hoarder. Evidence comes to the fore Tuesday with the home-video release of Martin Scorsese's documentary film "George Harrison: Living in the Material World" and the simultaneous release of the Abrams Books multitouch iPad/ iPhone/ iPod e-book of the same name.

Paul Robert Gibbs Entertained the Beatles in Key West
KEY WEST, Fla. — Paul Robert Gibbs passed on to the next stage of his journey, peacefully at his home on Sunday, April 22, 2012, one week after celebrating his 97th birthday.
On Sept. 11, 1964, the start-up Beatles were in the midst of their first North American tour and scheduled for a concert appearance at the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla. They left Montreal, Canada, that morning, only to have their charter plane diverted to Key West because Hurricane Dora was ravaging the northeast Florida coast. It was Paul who was the manager on duty that day and welcomed them to the Key Wester. The Beatles left two days later for a make-up concert in Jacksonville on Sept. 13, but not without having been graced by Paul's delightful wit, charm and infectious laughter. A lover of life, he exemplified “full participation," holding season tickets to the local theaters until his mid-90s where he sat in the same front-row seat year after year. He was an avid supporter of the arts and befriended many actors in our community.
