Albert Goldman and Hunter Davies on Beatles Biographies
This is a two-part news program from 1989, where the author of the muckraking “The Lives of John Lennon” (just released at that time) debates Hunter Davies, the author of “The Beatles” authorized biography from 1968. Davies is very charming, and makes some very good points about Goldman’s tendency to veer off into—well, the nicest [...]

Just a head’s up: there are some really neat comments happening over at Hey Dullblog, the Beatles team-blog I’m part of. For anybody interested, the comment thread is here.

Shirley Tilloch over at Beatles Til I Die has written a very interesting post originally inspired by one over here at MG/Dullblog. This post of mine began as a lengthy comment to her post…until I got to the point where it was too long and went off in too many directions. So apologies in advance [...]

Roger over at WogBlog has an excellent head’s-up on a massive collection of Beatle personal items/memorabilia from Beatle author Geoffrey Giuliano and one-time Beatle designers The Fool. (A lot of this stuff—which is really mind-blowing—seems to have originated with Derek Taylor, or directly from George and John.) I don’t know what I think about memorabilia. [...]

John Lennon’s first son Julian Lennon turns 47 today, wherever he is. I hope it’s someplace nice. Julian deserves a lot of credit for how he’s handled the world’s continuing interest in—and adoration of—his famous father. As the physical John Lennon has dissolved into soft-focus, the chief Beatle’s first family has too often faded out, [...]

Dedicated readers of Mikegerber.com—that vast silent majority of unindicted co-conspirators, to mix my Nixonian metaphors—know that I am obsessed with The Beatles. Not a bad thing to be obsessed with, really; cheaper than Scientology, all things considered, and less lonely than collecting bottlecaps. And after twenty years of meanness, of late Apple’s done a fine [...]

In the fall of 1990, I had no interest in World War I; then as now, I studied history for the story of it, and there didn’t seem to be any narrative in that conflict. No personalities, no resolution, just four years of static, blood-drenched dress rehearsal for the much more satisfying sequel played out [...]

Beatles and Lennon fans worldwide are in a tizzy over the ad below, which repurposes a John Lennon interview from 1968 to hawk Citroëns. Is that dubbed? Or just really garbled? Anyway, son Sean has tweeted that the ad was designed to keep his dad in the public consciousness. “Look, TV ad was not for [...]

For 30 years, Ravin fans wondered: What if Tom Larkin had survived? Now, the story can be told.
Mixing alternative history, hardboiled noir, parody and satire, Life After Death for Beginners is a must-read for every Beatles fan. "A cross between The Rutles and Three Days of the Condor. I loved it."—Jonathan Schwarz
