Hey dudes! I’m so happy ’cause tomorrow is to celebrate the greatest ever pop band with the world’s first Beatles Day. The event on July 10 will mark the 44th anniversary of the Fab Four’s triumphant homecoming to Liverpool after they conquered America in 1964
“Money (That’s What I Want)”
That’s remind me my past article about Apple Corps (a company created by music legends The Beatles to handle their business interests) and talking with both Activision and MTV Games about possible Beatles-themed games. Apple Corps has been notoriously hesitant to use its licensing power in the past. For years, Apple Corps’ reluctance staved off the CD format. The Beatles music is not available online through iTunes, an almost essential step for bands nowadays. Explain this is easy, even they followed the struggle of a unknow band at the begining, they finally made their own path in music bussiness.
Quoting the Daily Mirrow (November 5, 1963): “You have to be a real sour square not to love the nutty, noisy, happy, handsome Beatles. If they don’t sweep your blues away, brother, you’re a lost cause. If they don’t put a beat in your feet, sister, you’re not listening.”
“You Know My Name”
Beatles
Pink.
“My favourite Beatles song is Hey Jude because I used to drive in the car with my dad and scream it from the top of my lungs – and because my mother’s name was Judy, which made me scream even louder.”
Meat Loaf
“I just can’t get enough of them. They were music to me. When I was growing up, I wanted to be them.”
Ricky Tomlinson
“My favourite Beatles song of all time has to be the classic Penny Lane.”
Oasis.
“I’d rewrite Ticket To Ride all day long if I could”
Deacon Blue:
“(…)the last section of Abbey Road
Whitesnake:
“I’m a complete Beatles fan – all the songs – I loved Revolver and still do.
“If it wasn’t for them I’m not sure I’d be enjoying a career in music. They grabbed the music business by the b***s and took over.
“They opened up all the doors for people like me. Up until then, nobody was allowed to sing their own songs.
“Bless their beautiful hearts – and they sang about love – what great karma to give to the world.”
Sugababes
The girls just can’t get enough of Merseybeat, it seems. “Collectively some of our favourite songs are Eleanor Rigby and Yesterday,” says Aintree babe Heidi Range. “And Hey Jude and Sgt Pepper,” adds Amelle “And She Loves You,” adds Keisha.

“Anything The Beatles did is great by me. They are the biggest influence on my music.”
And the list goes on -Queen, Aerosmith, etc., but now I remember something: when I was attending my carreer, a friend of mine of that time -a huge metal fan, said to me: “yep, but that’s ol’stuff, and Nirvana rules today”, by that time Kurt Cobain where still among us. Later those days, we were watching this interview with Kurt Cobain, when he answer to a particular question: “John Lennon is my bigest inffluence ever…” or so, I remember. My brick-headed-buddy just crossed arms and kept his f*****g mouth shut!
“Yesterday… and Today”
Yeah! I do love Beatles
“Flying”
And here’s the best of all rumours: “Sgt. Pepper Lonely Hearths Club Band” album
“Tomorrow Never Knows”
‘Till tomorrow, dudes, get prepare for the first Beatles’ Day, while I prepare a “special mojo spell” at the office’s kitchen, in orden of tunning my co-workes with best music ever made!
