I know that when I say this, I may be stepping on pins and needles, but I dont like all these people slagging her for breaking up the Beatles

Yoko? Me neither. If a girl was able to break up the band then they were ready to break up anyway so its all good.

this isn't bad either:

Love that clip, his sharp vocal, the short scale Rickenbacker, the Cuban heeled boots, absolute classic.

While were on about early Beatles, one of my all time favourite songs/footage mixes, of any band.

a Beatle, one that wrote some THE most amazing and popular songs of our time can't sell out a show...??? :O

Nup, but at least it shows that people won't just mindlessly hand over money for anything (sometimes). At £60 the tickets are overpriced (and I think there were more expensive tickets than that). I'd pay upwards of 60 at a smaller venue but not Hampden - where u'll barely be able to see him.

BBC4 has a John Lennon night this Friday.

According to the newspaper TV listings I have it says there is a Classic Albums programmes for both Plastic Ono Band, and Imagine. But the Sky listings only show the Plastic Ono one!?

Cool - I'll set the Sky +. Gimmie Some Truth was on Sky Arts HD a few nights back. Very interesting.

Plastic Ono Band and Imagine are the only 2 Lennon albums worth bothering with IMHO. I bought Double Fantasy a few years back and with the exception of a few great singles, it's pretty shit. Mainly due to it being polluted with pretentious Yoko waffle.

Yeah, I dont agree with all this talk about "Lennon would be recording with the Chemical Brothers if he was alive" etc - was widely written about post Anthology. I dont think he would be. He was a rock and roller and got more old school as he got older.

it just seemed unusually accurate....

as often as not, these things are full of holes historically...

plus, for me, emotionally, it resurrected lots of my growing up. It was a little (only a little, mind you :rolleyes: ) before my time, but the family 'issues' reverberated rather strongly.

The acting was pretty faultless...

Parts of it are very tough to watch though.

      2027 Headliners

      Interesting that'd be the reason - given that there were reports citing that as the reason a few years ago as well.   You'd think that they (meaning both sides) would learn..

      I gather the later you arrive the further away from the entrance to the festival you are?

      Green Man 2026

      By Belette · Posted

      Hope they skip the fireworks and the burning of the man this year tbh, seemed dodgy last year with all the reports of embers and this year is drier. Don't want to be a killjoy but it's only a big bonfire at the end of the day.    May also need extra care with BBQ and gas stoves etc, always worries me slightly in the campervan field where vans are very very close together!    Not had campervan pass in the mail yet either.   Looking forward to the beer festival and enjoying a few pints while taking in some mellow tunes in the walled garden if the sun carries on shining like this 😎

      Haha yeah maybe not the best comparison as Gavin seems a good lad. It was to express how he's usually spot-on with his information
