"100% - You Are The Ultimate Beatles Fan!!"

I guessed at one.

Thank you Barb!  Fun.   

Now I'll be singing Beatles songs all day.

MissB -great find.  I surprised myself by scoring 100% but then I grew up with the Beatles. Will forward the test to others.  Thank you.  WOO.

Hope our resident KB Beatle fan takes the test.

Pfft - I could have aced this with my eyes closed!

100% CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You might not have been one of the original head shrieking, sweating and crying fans of The Beatles when they first came to the U.S. but there's no doubt about it, getting into a time machine and seeing a performance by your fave band would totally bring you to tears. You love the Beatles and that's because they gave you the greatest songs ever like "Strawberry Fields" and "I Wanna Hold Your Hand"! Excellent work!

*NOTE - Twist and Shout is NOT a Beatles song - It is a cover of the 1961 song written by Phil Medley and Bert Berns. The song was originally recorded by The Top Notes.

Thanks for posting Miss B - :emot_kiss: :emot_kiss: :emot_kiss:

50 Years Ago: Tragic News Inspires the Beatles’ ‘A Day in the Life’

Decades before Law & Order was “ripped from the headlines,” the Beatles did the same thing for “A Day in the Life.” Three of the verses from the epic song that would close Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band were inspired by newspaper articles that were printed on Jan. 17, 1967.

In late November, 1963, Walter Cronkite of CBS News was looking for something positive to report after the assassination of President John Kennedy in Dallas, TX.  He chose to re-run a report on "Beatlemania in the U.K.".  After the broadcast, a 15 year old girl named Marsha Albert immediately requested her local radio station play the band's album.  Inciting a chain reaction in what would become the beginning of Beatlemania in the U.S., this event marked the tipping point of the British Invasion. Almost overnight, The Beatles changed the American music scene.

Ringo Starr was inducted into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame in 1998. In 2011, Rolling Stone readers named Starr the fifth-greatest drummer of all time. Starr, who was previously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a Beatle in 1988, was inducted for his solo career in 2015, making him one of 21 performers inducted more than once.

Happy Birthday Ringo!

He was always my favorite Beatle.

I had just read yesterday that 60 years ago on July 6th is when Paul and John first met.

John Lennon wanted Eric Clapton to replace George Harrison in the Beatles in 1969

When Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones drowned in 1969, Eric Clapton wanted to take his place.  Though Clapton was a very good guitar player the feeling among Jagger and Richards was that Clapton could surely handle to guitar playing but he wouldn't be able to handle the bad boy image (most true, some false) of the Rolling Stones.

I watched Sgt. Pepper’s Musical Revolution on PBS today.  Fascinating commentary on the back story, musical elements, and technology employed in one of rock’s most iconic albums.

November 27th 1967, fifty years ago TODAY, the Beatles released Magical Mystery Tour on LP in America, and December 8th in the UK on EP (six songs on two 45s packaged as a unit).

Magical Mystery Tour was their first album following Sergeant Pepper in early June of ‘67. IMHO Magical Mystery Tour wasn’t of the same caliber as Sergeant Pepper, but then what was? An impossible act to follow. Still, MMT was an epic album of many now familiar songs.

The period between the two albums was explosive in rock/pop music. The Summer of Love had transformed the epicenter of the genre, San Francisco. Everything became psychedelic, colorful and surreal, and it influenced everything... as reflected in the artwork on the MMT cover.

And how’s this for a list of backup chorus singers? Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Marianne Faithfull, Jane Asher, Mike McCartney, Pattie Harrison, Eric Clapton, Graham Nash, Keith Moon, Hunter Davies, Gary Leeds as well as some lesser known folks.
