Music Documentary: “The Beatles: Get Back” — Back to Where They Once Belonged

Who else, but The Beatles, could command this much attention, of this many people, for that long of a time, and still be interesting, even joyous?

Rock Album Review: The Plastic Ono Band Celebrates 50 — A Nice Warm Cup of Instant Karma

After having diagnosed the ails of modernity, screamed out his most deeply held traumas, and shrugged off his role in the biggest band ever, John Lennon is content to have a riverside cuddle under a tree in the sun with the woman he loves. Amen.

By: Matt Hanson Filed Under: Featured, Music, Review, Rock Tagged: John Lennon, Plastic Ono Band, Yoko Ono

Book Review: “The Search for John Lennon” — Going Down the Wrong Road

In her search for John Lennon, the author follows her fancy and picks and chooses which rocks she wants to look under, all the while giving herself the space to wax poetic on whatever theme moves her. It’s an appealing approach. Too bad then that the book is a let down.

By: Adam Ellsworth Filed Under: Books, Featured, Music, Rock Tagged: John Lennon, Lesley-Ann Jones, Pegasus Books

Film Review: “Eight Days a Week” — A Marvelous Look at The Beatles on Tour

Unlike any other Beatles documentary, this one succeeds in presenting the hysteria of the few years when the band played live and toured the world.

By: Tim Jackson Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: documentary, George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Ron Howard, The Beatles, The Beatles: Eight Days a Week -- The Touring Years
