The Beatles - US Albums

[mjzee]

We watched the first 20 minutes before getting interrupted. Yes, so far, very good. It's a very sweet story, very real. Visuals, editing are all very well done.

The last Beatles related movie I watched was the mockumentary Paul McCartney Really Is Dead. It was an amusing diversion, and the Paul is dead thing is entertaining to revisit every great now and then.

We finished watching Good Ol' Freda tonight. It's a sweet story, well worth watching. Freda Kelly was a relatively minor player in the Beatles story, but she's the real deal, was there with them from the beginning, was friends with them, worked for Brian Epstein, was friends with Ringo's parents (who told Brian Epstein to give Freda a raise!), was one of the bus passengers in Magical Mystery Tour, and was there at the dissolution. It's really a story about loyalty and friendship, and about being a fan.

I have it in my Netflix queue. Looking forward to it.

Caught the first 40 or so minutes last night. What an engaging character! Of course, I'd assume you'd have to be if you were going to surround yourself with those cats.

I know it's a corny song but I always liked Act Naturally.

[Scott Dolan]

I think Ringo's tunes are all corny, yet terribly underrated.

Don't Pass Me By is a highlight on The Beatles, IMO.

Once again, Ringo.

Do you even need guitars on this, except as ambient tone color? No, not really. Just Ringo and Paul, locked-up all kinds of tightways.

[Scott Dolan]

I need to revisit that recording. AND pick up the sequel that recently came out.

Have you heard it?

Yep. I like it just fine.
