Like the rest of the world, Seattle was so overwhelmed by “Beatlemania” that the Edgewater was the only hotel willing and able to host the band, installing cyclone fencing around its perimeter to keep crazed fans at a safe distance. (Legend has it, some superfans even attempted to swim across the chilly waters of the Bay in the hopes of getting a glimpse of the Brits.) During their stay, now-iconic images were captured of young and playful John, Paul, George, and Ringo hanging fishing poles out the windows of their hotel suite into the waters of Elliott Bay. Now, nearly 60 years later, the Edgewater is giving Beatles fans the chance to recreate this famous scene with a unique hotel and concert experience timed to the Seattle stop on Paul McCartney's “Got Back” tour this May. The very limited package includes a pre-show dinner, tickets to the concert, luxe round-trip transportation, and a night’s stay in the Edgewater’s Beatles Suite.

In 1988, Douglas walked away with his first Golden Globe. He won Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama for Oliver Stones’ Wall Street. Douglas thanked Stone in his acceptance speech for giving him such a great role. He starred as the corporate raider Gordon Gekko, who later mentors Charlie Sheen’s character, Bud Fox. Douglas also won an Oscar for Best Actor for the role. He went up against William Hurt, who recently died on Mar. 13, Marcello Mastroianni, Robin Williams, and Jack Nicholson.

Hanks drew inspiration from another 1960s rock group while writing the film. The movie included a hit song. Ringo Starr wasn’t always a member of The Beatles. Tom Hanks watched a documentary that discussed Ringo joining the Fab Four and it subsequently inspired him to write a movie. Notably, Hanks started writing the film to keep his mind off how Forrest Gump would perform during awards season.Hanks directed and wrote That Thing You Do!, a comedy about a fictitious one-hit wonder band named The Wonders. At one point in the film, The Wonders have to replace their bassist before a big performance. This part of the film is connected to Ringo.

The Fleetwood Mac drummer became George’s brother-in-law when he married Jenny Boyd, the younger sister of George’s wife Pattie Boyd, in 1970. Although both their marriages ended, the musicians remained friends and bonded over their shared love of tropical climates, Maui, and ukuleles. The lead guitarist met Pattie while The Beatles filmed A Hard Day’s Night in 1964. He asked her to marry him the first day they met, but they didn’t tie the knot until 1966. After a turbulent 11-year marriage, George and Pattie officially divorced in 1977. Although, they’d split in 1974 after George cheated on Pattie with Ringo Starr’s wife, Maureen, and Pattie and Eric Clapton revealed they were in love.

That’s not uncharacteristic of the “quiet Beatle.” George had a profound effect on many people. Often, he’d utter a witty response while meeting someone new or suggest they do something together that the other person hardly expected. For instance, the first time he met Eric Idle, he invited him to smoke pot in a projection room at a Monty Python and the Holy Grail screening. Similarly, George smoked pot with Martin Short while watching The Hunt for Red October at a dinner party the first time they met.

To reach the stage, they had come an almost unimaginable distance. From their home, in Liverpool, they had driven in a cream-and-green minibus to the port of Harwich. The bus, teetering under the weight of amplifiers and instruments, had been lifted onto a ferry by a crane. At first, the stevedores had refused to handle such a precarious load; a photograph captured the moment just after they changed their minds, with the sixties hanging in the balance.

Petty was one of George’s best friends. Both musicians felt as if they’d known each other in their past lives. So, naturally, Dhani stayed close to Petty and George’s other friends after George died. Petty supported Dhani through everything. He became a pseudo father, uncle, and best friend. Petty’s death deeply affected Dhani. He turned to his other uncle figure and his father and Petty’s Traveling Wilburys bandmate, Jeff Lynne, for comfort in the immediate aftermath. “They’re my family, and they’ve always really looked after me, ever since my father passed away,” Dhani told Billboard. “Yeah, my heart’s broken. It’s tremendously sad and absolutely heartbreaking. He’s one of my best mates. It hasn’t hit me yet how much I’m going to miss him.

At Minehead, now part of the West Somerset Railway heritage line, one schoolgirl had to be escorted off the tracks by a police officer as she attempted to greet the Fab Four. While other youngsters stood in an orderly fashion next to the railway line, others stormed the tracks, clamouring at the windows of the restaurant car to get their pop idols’ attention.

They never sat next to artists like the Mamas and the Papas, or maybe Frank Sinatra, and waited for the announcement. The Beatles never walked to the podium to give a witty speech, thanking fans. Unfortunately, a Beatle never graced the Grammy stage until after The Beatles broke up. Initially, their first two wins came in 1965. They won Best New Artist and Best Performance by a Vocal Group (for “A Hard Day’s Night”). That year, they were nominated for Record Of The Year (for “I Want To Hold Your Hand”) and Best Rock & Roll Recording (for “A Hard Day’s Night”).

When talking about this rock group during a The Beatles: Get Back video clip, Epstein said he was “immediately struck” by their stage presence. John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote songs together as teenagers. The duo eventually turned into a four-piece band that created original music. In 1961, business owner Epstein signed up to manage “four scruffy, unknown lads,” now known as the Beatles. These artists became the world’s best-known boy band in the following years. They performed abroad and made history with songs like “I Want To Hold Your Hand.” Even Epstein became well-known by fans, appearing in interviews separate from the group.

However, when he tied the knot with his third wife Nancy Shevell, he returned to a place filled with happy memories from his first marriage. McCartney’s 2011 marriage to Shevell at Old Marylebone Town Hall was a full-circle moment for the singer. He first wed Linda Eastman there 42 years prior in 1969. McCartney and Linda would remain married for 29 years until her death in 1998. The couple welcomed three biological children together: Mary, Stella, and James.

Paul also revealed what he thought of One Direction’s songs. The Beatles' Paul McCartney with a guitar The Beatles and One Direction were compared numerous times over the years. Both the Fab Four and One Direction were British bands who started out making uptempo love songs and had young fans.

Dylan wrote the song the year previous as the first track on his 1970 New Morning, a record critics heralded as a return to form after the panned double album, Self Portrait. Harrison himself sat in on a session for the song and recorded a “languid early version,” notes Beatles Bible, “at Columbia’s Studio B in New York.” Source: openculture.com Read More<<< details Why George Harrison's Son Made a Song Track 7 on the Former Beatle's Final Album - Thursday, March 24, 2022 George Harrison‘s son, Dhani Harrison, worked on the former Beatle’s final album.

During a 2005 interview with Modern Drummer, he discussed George’s final studio album Brainwashed. He said some of the songs from Brainwashed deeply affected him. “One that makes me cry every time I hear it, and probably always will, is ‘Stuck Inside a Cloud,'” Keltner revealed. “That’s one of his older one’s that he used to play for me all the time. It had a magical, misty, very English sort of quality to it.” Source: cheatsheet.com Read More<<< details Here's Who Inherited George Harrison's Money After He Died - Thursday, March 24, 2022 "You've got as many lives as you like, and more, even ones you don't want."

George Harrison hit out at The Beatles in subtle song - Saturday, March 19, 2022 Although The Beatles wrote and released some of the most popular songs of all time, their final years in a band together were bogged down by arguments and disagreements. The band's 1970 movie Let It Be showcased Paul McCartney and George Harrison becoming quite aggressive with one another during the recording of one track, The Two Of Us. But this led to the composition of a legendary song from Harrison.In 2001, just before Harrison's death, he looked back on the argument he had with McCartney in 1970. He recalled: "At that point in time, Paul couldn’t see beyond himself. He was on a roll, but… in his mind, everything that was going on around him was just there to accompany him. He wasn’t sensitive to stepping on other people’s egos or feelings."
