Oct 2601:23:53Tap to summarizeWith Ringo Starr's new LP Time Takes Time receiving some of the most favorable reaction since Ringo's mid-70's efforts, all was well in June of 1992.

Beatles ’76 pt1
Jan 4, 2021Tap to summarizeIt's 1976, and once again reunion rumors around the four former Beatles are reaching a fever pitch. This latest batch were inspired by full page advertisements taken out in several major US newspapers by concert promoter Bill Sargent. This zealous entertainment personality amped his original 30 million dollar offer to the former fabs to a whopping 50 MILLION - all for a 25 minute closed-circuit Beatles reunion concert to be broadcast around the world. Each ex-Beatle may have been living their own lives and enjoying the fruits of their own individual successes at the dawn of 1976, but a 50 million offer was enough to at the very least have been discussed...even if it, too, was summarily rejected by John, Paul, George and Ringo. Sargent wasn't the only one clamoring for Beatles content at the top of 1976 -- fan-festivals such as Beatlefest reveled in Beatles nostalgia and continued to gain momentum as the the 70s progressed, pulling its guest list from a varied array of insiders and affiliates from in and around the lives of the Beatles. One such insider was Mal Evans, who himself had graced the stage of Beatlefest the year prior...but on January 5th of 1976 a series of shocking events lead to the death of Mal in an officer-involved shooting. Mal played an integral role in Beatles history, and his tragic death left an aura of sorrow and uncertainty upon the new year for Beatles fans - but it wasn't the only death to rock the lives of the Beatles in the opening months of 1976. Both Paul McCartney's and John Lennon's respective fathers died within two short weeks of each other shortly thereafter - mirroring the events of their mother's respective passings nearly 20 years prior. Lennon's unresolved schism with his father was a dark cloud that hung upon John's life, and it was with bitter irony that John and Paul both found themselves mourning a parent's passing so close in proximity to one another in the weeks that followed...

Episode 22 – Beatles ’68 pt6
Jul 2, 2018Tap to summarizeAugust 22nd, 1968 is a landmark day in Beatles history: the day a member of the biggest band on the planet...quit. The Beatles' double album sessions were growing more tense by the day, and in the dog days of the summer of 1968 tensions finally boiled over. Accounts of what specifically happened vary; some claim it was a clash with Paul McCartney over his domineering direction in the studio, some say it was simply insecurity on Ringo's part, but whichever the case Ringo Starr made history as the first Beatle to quit the band. Of course, Ringo's holiday would be short-lived, as his bandmates realized just how unloved their drummer felt and lured him back with flowers and postcards in time for the biggest release of their career. Hey Jude, backed with John's Revolution, was the debut single on Apple Records and would go on to sell over 8 million copies and shatter records around the world. If the group was on the verge of shattering, the music surely wasn't showing any signs of slowing down. National Apple Week, as they called it, also saw the debut of Mary Hopkin's McCartney-produced smash-hit single Those Were The Days, which itself dominated charts and sold gangbusters -- in most cases only seconded by Hey Jude. Jackie Lomax and The Black Dyke Mills band rounded out the releases and once again John, Paul, George and Ringo found themselves at the top of the world. But Apple's rot was about set in...
