One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded: “I’m Gonna Sit Right Down and Cry Over You” by The Beatles!!!
As far as I’m concerned, pretty much every Beatles song is One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded! That’s my starting point when analyzing Beatle tracks! My radio show, “Theme Attic,” is on Wednesdays 12PM-4PM ET. The show can be heard on WHFR 89.3 FM in the Dearborn-Detroit area of Michigan, or it can be streamed with this…

George Martin: The Fifth Beatle and Beyond

It Was Fifty Years Ago Today: “Help!” Premiere at The Warren Theater, Detroit, MI
https://youtu.be/1PWk3i9WT-8 I’m almost positive that this event didn’t happen fifty years ago today, but I know it was sometime in September.

Paul Is Dead…Again??!!
There is an article on the internet that references Beatle drummer and soon to be Rock and Roll Hall of Fame solo artist Ringo Starr as having stated that the band actually did replace Paul McCartney with Billy Shears—a McCartney look-alike, after Paul died in a car crash. Since I have had some of my…

“Blue Moon of Kentucky” by Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr!!!
I was looking for “Blue Moon of Kentucky” by a different artist when I stumbled upon this little gem featuring three of The Beatles around the time of their Anthology sessions. Pretty cool!

The Beatles First Ed Sullivan Appearance: A Personal Rememberance!
It’s finally here! Sixty years ago, the United States (and since the U.S. considers itself the center of the universe), and the world was visually introduced to The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show.

Mark Your Calendars – February 9th
Now, I know that on February 9th many of us will be wrapped up in the WInter Olympics, but true Beatles fans will be tuning in to CBS from 8-10 p.m. for their special, “The Night That Changed America: A GRAMMY Salute To The Beatles.” It was taped immediately following The Grammy Awards broadcast this week. The two-hour…
