Not being a Beatles fan, I was surprised by my own reaction.
I woke up on the morning of December 8, 1980 and flipped on the TV
news as I always do. When I heard what had happened, I sat transfixed
on the end of the bed and cried. My girlfriend came over and without
saying a word, put her arm around me and hugged me close, rocking me
like a baby.

Hi Willie,
Thanks for the link. This is an excellent article.
I am a member of rmb but haven't spent much time there. I think that will change.
I am gearing up to watch Get Back, because I am not a fan of Yoko...
I am currently enjoying listening to the remix cd's of Gimme Some Truth and Imagine. Lovely work by John. Great melodic line in Jealous Guy...

So it sounds like RMB suffered the same fate as RMD (trolls drove people off). But from my quick trips over there, it seems pretty vibrant to me. That post by "paramucho" critiquing Lennon's musicianship was excellent. But I was surprised that it wasn't all abuzz about the "Get Back" series. I notice that Google reports it as having 183709 threads, compared to our 166981, so not much difference. But I don't know how far that goes back. K. could sleuth that out. It's interesting that the Beatles, who
I didn't know what to make of Yoko in "Get Back." She hardly spoke (audibly) , but did seem (a strange) part of the family, though there were a few times when it seemed Paul hinted at exasperation about her. And I couldn't tell how comfortable she feltthere. I'll be interested to learn what you think, Pamela.

We have now been able to determine conclusively that the actual
birth date for rec.music.dylan was July 31, 1989. This is the date
that voting was completed and the group passed, so on that day rec.music.dylan was born. We're about three months away from
celebrating the 10th anniversary of that milestone. The countdown begins...

.Wow, on November 20, 1995 there were over 1100 posts (in one day) at rec.music.beatles!? Gotta research what was happening in Beatleslandia then. Thank you muchly, K., for the two posts by saki. (I guess he no longer posts to RMB: https://groups.
That's when "The Beatles Anthology" was released with its showing on ABC-TV. Two unfinished songs by John Lennon ("Free As A Bird" and "Real Love") were completed by McCartney, Harrison and Starr, and released. The anthology was the history of TheBeatles as told by them.
"Saki" was a woman, who with others, started rec.music.beatles.

Yeah, not much about it (at least, that I find) at RMB. A few threads. One of them had these three intriguing comments, which I'm looking forward to in
the Hulu series "McCartney 3,2,1" which I thought was terrific. It's 6 half-hour episodes of Paul and the producer Rick Rubin hanging out in
a makeshift studio talking about a variety of Beatles related stuff in
a very informal, unscripted way. Some really fascinating info from
Paul about his (and John's) songwriting methods and the band's
recording techniques.
s father was out of the picture (until John became rich and famous) and that his mother had died when he was very young. I've since discovered that this isn't quite accurate: His father, a merchant seaman of Irish descent, even tried to take him to New"The deep dive into 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' was awesome
as was 'Something'
I don't think I knew about the Chuck Berry/Come Together connection
and that was a cool discussion of changing the groove to fix that
sort of possible conflict. Wonder if George was thinking about
that with 'My Sweet Lord'?
The piccolo trumpet story was great"Also, I found Paul's comments in episode 1 about how his family life had been so loving and gentle, while John's had been tumultuous very interesting. I've not read much biographical material about The Beatles, and didn't know that (as Paul says) John'
I also didn't realize that John was a couple of years older than Paul, and Paul really looked up to him as the cool dude. It's certainly evident, I think, from both episode 1 of McCartney 3,2,1 and the Get Back series that those two loved each otherdearly, despite the feelings toward the end. And that Paul really admired John's creativity and work ethic. He says, 3,2,1 that he would come up with an idea, and John would find ingenious extensions of the idea.
One thing I was surprised by in the Get Back series was how little credit was given to George Martin. In 3,2,1 episode 1, Paul tells Rick Rubin, when describing their harmonies, that Martin guided those. (He even shows how Martin would go to the pianoand pick out the harmonic line for each of them.) Oh, I didn't know, or have forgotten, that Martin died in 2016. From Martin's Wikipedia page, I just learned that Decca turned down The Beatles just before EMI Parlophone signed them. Loved this from that
