This is a first, I  think: a Beatles book I don't feel compelled to read.

I didn't learn anything new from the Post's summary, so I doubt the book will add much either. It smacks of a sensationalistic purpose. Ironically, Peter Brown's The Love You Make (which I just now noticed was also coauthored with Stephen Gaines) was the very first Beatles book I read.

Reviews on Amazon aren't too keen.

Lovely song, lovely fretless bass.

Cloudy today but it’s mild as well.

Snow today and tomorrow. . . Ugh! All the other states have moved on to spring, but pathetic old North Dakota is still languishing in winter. 




So—I'm mixing a coctail and getting my calypso on.

I'm here my friend.  Dino was a sad loss.  Just watched some videos of the Rascals on some 60's cruise ship from a few weeks ago.  It just isn't the same.

Even Felix Cavaliere couldn't help but be impressed by him, here doing a two-handed drum stick twirl...





Yes, it's a sad loss.

I'm digging a band called The Surfrajettes.  They are an all female, surf music band.  They aren't technically great, but they have their moments.  Their drummer Annie Lillis is pretty good.

I hope Todd is watching...

isn't the rosier glasses view from Get Back, while possibly biased the other way, a better depiction of that time in their careers? 

Yes, I would think so, but I'm still looking forward to comparing and contrasting the two. (Hey, that would make a great school assignment.)

What is Disney doing with it, enhancing the quality of the video/audio at all?

Peter Jackson is remastering the original footage. From The Verge: "Like the docuseries The Beatles: Get Back, Let It Be will feature original film footage remastered by Peter Jackson’s Park Road Post Production and remastered audio created using the same de-mixing tools that recently led to the release of the Beatles’ final song."

Given that I've seen only a bootleg, I'm looking forward to the remastered version.

Looks like it will indeed be released for streaming on May 8: https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/music/2024/04/16/beatles-let-it-be-documentary-peter-jackson-disney/73340860007/
