The Magical Mystery Tour Is Waiting To Take You Away


Did anyone buy the box set that the Beatles released last Christmas? I was lucky enough to have Santa put one under the tree. No other band gets as much publicity 35 years after they broke up and everyone knows why: No one is or ever will be better then the moptops from Liverpool who took the world of rock and roll and made it their own.

Interesting trivia fact number one: Only John and George were known by their first names. Paul's first name is James and Ringo's first name is Richard.


Interesting trivia fact number two: No member of the Beatles has died from natural causes.


Interesting trivia fact number three: John Lennon is the only Beatle not to make a cameo appearance on "The Simpsons". The reason? He died nine years before they were created.


Interesting trivia fact number four: The Beatles released 12 albums in 10 years (16 altogether if you count the red and blue double album compilations). By comparison, from 1978 to the present (27 years), Van Halen released 10 albums (15 if you count the live and "best of" albums).
