Happy Aug. 15, the 61st anniversary of the Beatles at Shea! I wrote the daylights out of this from a slightly different angle last year for MLB.com, where I've worked almost 25 years. Sometimes you get to assign yourself the perfect story. www.mlb.com/news/feature... www.mlb.com/news/feature...

OTD, July 20, 1969: A big day in the history of the Beatles' Let It Be film. At the same moment mankind made a giant leap on the moon, the stars of the film sat in place to screen a long working cut of the film. (1/3)

If you were in Liverpool on July 7, 1992 - and I bet some of you were - you had the choice of seeing either Ringo Starr at the Empire (on his 52nd birthday), or Pete Best at the Cavern.

He's the greatest, and you better believe it, baby! To celebrate Ringo's 86th, here's my annual birthday card - delivered with peace & love, of course - peering at his life as it straddled 1968 and '69 and the profound effect the period had on his life since✌🏽💜🥁🎂🥦 theymaybeparted.com/2017/07/07/t...

TMBP Extra: Oh what joy

With birthday posts previously produced for Paul McCartney, John Lennon and George Harrison, it’s about time we righted a wrong, and completed the set with the man born as Richard Starkey. Like the…

"The Beatles have changed so many lives that the need for them still exists. The hope that they represent still exists. And as long as that exists, then they have to exist. ... If the Beatles don’t exist, you don’t exist.” -Derek Taylor, April 10, 1970. And true every day since. #GlobalBeatlesDay

Wishing all the best to our dear Macca on No. 84. Don’t ever change, and here’s to many, many more. Happy birthday, Paul! 🎂

Heading out to see the Billy Preston documentary, finally! I’ll report back 🎥

Is there anybody going to listen to my story All about the gull who came to stay?

Well, I think it's fair to say that this was a surprise for everyone involved.

Today would have been Prince’s 68th birthday, and while he didn’t celebrate birthday, I do. I posted this thread connecting Beatles-Prince links, and should still hold up 💜⬇️

They May Be Parted@theymaybeparted.bsky.social · last yr.

If you've followed me for any amount of time here or the other place, you probably know by now I'm also a very serious Prince fan, so to mark what would have been his 67th (!) birthday in the material world, here's a Prince-Beatles thread. Hundalasiliah! 1/💜

Finished first listen to Dungeon Lane. Loved it, exactly what I hoped Paul would be making now - sparse, measured, precise pop songs. No wasted moments. Production reminded me of Wildflowers by Tom Petty (which I love, it's one of my favorite LPs). Keep that one, mark it fab. More listens tomorrow.

Remembering Mal Evans on what would have been his 91st birthday 🎂🔨🔨

Happy 85th to the one and only Bob Dylan! 🎂

With so many staggered release dates, there's always a Let It Be-related anniversary in May, (and plenty chances to repost things). OTD in 1970 (May 20), Let It Be film enjoyed gala premieres in London and Liverpool. No Beatles showed up, but plenty of adjacent figures and celebrities attended. 🎥

A good read from UCR by my friend @mwardlaw.bsky.social, who interviews the Rock Hall's archivist who helped put together the new McCartney exhibit

We got a chance to see the new Paul McCartney and Wings exhibit at the Rock Hall. Here's photos and our report, plus an interview about the presentation! ultimateclassicrock.com/paul-mccartn...

Happy anniversary - again - to the "the most eagerly awaited album ever issued!" Let It Be: released 56 years ago today (May 18, 1970) in the US, 10 days after it was first out in the UK. (It did reportedly set a record at the time with 3.7M advance orders in the US, so the claim is justified!)

Happy 56th the Let It Be LP, first released (in the UK) May 8, 1970. It’s spirited, soulful, confusing and emotional, a compilation both disjoined yet cohesive at once, a true reflection of the late-stage Beatles. Read all about its making, now and forever, at theymaybeparted.com 🎂🎁🍎

My intention was to post in real time from last night’s opening party of the new McCartney/Wings exhibit at the Rock Hall in Cleveland, but I was totally consumed by the content and simply being social and having a good time. I won’t post every detail - you should come out here, it’s amazing 👐

At the Rock Hall for the opening party of the new McCartney exhibit. Just heard “Bip Bop” playing on the sound system on my way in (now “Country Dreamer”) so it’s gonna get real.

It's a good day to post this, too, which I wrote 2 years ago on the film's rerelease on Disney+, on the importance of Let It Be and tying together more than a half-century of Beatles history: theymaybeparted.com/2024/05/07/t...

TMBP Extra: Then and now

It’s spring 2024 A.D., and when we last saw the Beatles, they were vanishing before our eyes in the “Now and Then” video, ascending to Pepperland, probably. In the moment, it was a powerful and tid…

OTD 56 years ago - May 13, 1970 - The Beatles’ Let It Be arrives in theaters dotting the US without any glitzy premiere. Right before Get Back came out in 2021, I wrote at length about the extended lead-up and aftermath of the release of the original film: theymaybeparted.com/2021/11/22/t...

TMBP Extra: That road before

As a film, Let It Be has more backstory than story. In Beatle-time, the 15-plus-month turnaround from the end of their January 1969 sessions until the film’s release in May 1970 was simply a glacia…

The Beatles at 3 Savile Row will feature seven floors of never-seen-before archive material, rotating exhibitions, a fan store, and the recreation of the original studio where Let it Be was recorded.

New Paul-Ringo song is out - I haven't listened to either of the new Paul songs yet, I think I'm going to wait to hear everything in context of the new album as a whole. This marks a good time, though, to recall when Paul & Ringo shared a writing credit in 1969: theymaybeparted.com/2024/03/29/j...

Jan. 14: Morning, Paul! Morning, Rich!

This time, Paul McCartney’s line was delivered with a smile: “And then there was one.” It was up to the viewers of the 2021 Get Back docuseries more than 50 years later to make out the invisible wi…
