Music Tasting 9

Global Beatles Day - Celebrating harmony and peace.

On this date in 1967, The Beatles participated in Our World, a BBC event that aired in 30 countries.

The most successful Beatles song spent 19 weeks on the charts in the US - 9 weeks at number one.

The Beatles were one of my dad's favorite bands.  On his Fandalism page, it asked which album he would take on a deserted island - he chose The White Album, which happens to include my favorite Beatles song.

This day was started in 2009 by a fan who wrote a thank you letter to the band, not just for their music, but for "the values they professed and believed in."  They've always promoted living in a peaceful world built on love.

This is most clearly presented in John Lennon's "Imagine" but I wanted to share a cover instead.

This is speaking from 2004, but much of the imagery still applies.

My aunt said this version is more depressing than John's, that it seems to have given up on the dream.  But I still believe.

This Burning Man art has become the center point of demonstrations in Reno.
