There is nothing so sure as it will be number one for weeks Eccles it had four million view in one day. :)

Oh good grief. I've only read bits of headlines as I am not really interested in them but suddenly had this thought about the Christmas number one. Ah well there are far more important things for me to be 'upset' about such as whether it will rain tomorrow!!! *rofl*

I think The Beatles are a band a lot of us FOC's love. We grew up with them and each album they made over that 7 years period was a progression on the last, they wrote 2 albums a year on top of world tours, tv shows and 2 full on movies. To us they were a revelation and caused a revolution in music where artists began to write their own songs.
They had the cheek to turn down "professionally written songs" suggested by George Martin and demanded they release their own, pretty risky for a scruffy working class band from Liverpool who had been given a few months recording contract after being knocked back by every other record company.
But music in the UK was very drab pre-Beatles I can tell you, we're talking Matt Munro, Kenny Balls Jazzmen and Cliff Richards etc.

Anyway, the last song, it's very poignant and a wee bit sad. A nice melody. Not one of their best but probably a good album track on a John solo album. Maybe John regarded it as a throwaway ? we'll never know.........anyway, Paul liked it.....I like it a lot, but then again I liked everything they did, even Revolution No 9 !
I can fully understand people who wern't around in the 60's condemning The Beatles as shite, overrated rubbish etc as I think we all love the music of our youth, like whatever is big when were teenagers. That's just the way it is.
I think Now & Then is for us FOC's that loved The Beatles.
And still do.

Not a fan of the beatles, as you know, but I admire and respect the way you talk about them. Great post.
That new track is pretty good to be fair, I quite like it.
I've tried to listen to a bit of the beatles but for some reason they're not on Spotify.

Wow that surprises me. I quit Spotify when Neil Young did so I don't know.

Here's the official vid for the new song. Extremely clever and well crafted filming and creation.

Bill, I know I dismissed them as a band I thought were overrated, and I was, as usual, a tad harsh considering I'd never ventured into their albums.
Despite this, I don't think I actually slagged them off, I just thought they were a bit, well you know, too poppy, or too psychedelic at times for me.
I think I also said that only an idiot would dismiss them completely, and I made a promise to myself to give them some eartime.
I fully intended to have a week of listening to them, but a search on Spotify proved fruitless.
So, I'm more than prepared to buy a cd or two, where do I start? First album? I'm ashamed to say I don't even know what it's called lol.
Best wishes Bill
