For what it's worth, it's a program about a new movie about the Beatles.

I had a quick look, decided I wasn't interested, and closed the link.

** Absolutely agree, link dropping is like name dropping.

** Though that was a movie called "'Yesterday".

The premise is all memory of the Beatles and their songs suddenly vanishes except for one busker in the UK.

Hi Geoff,

Saw the clip. It's interesting to the degree that it shows them in the studio recording and looking a lot younger. That was fun. More interesting to me than all the the remixed, remastered, reinvented material.

OTOH, "Yesterday" the movie was fun. I had it on my Amazon Wish List and got it on DVD for Xmas. Himesh Patel has a strong voice and it's well suited for Beatles material. The story arc between him and his manager was a bit tired, but she's cute. SNL's Kate McKinnon as record company exec was a hoot.. Her overplay was pretty spot on.

From the looks of it, he can actually play! Although in the first shot of him playing, his left hand is obscured and he could have been faking it. Robert Carlyle did a very nice John Lennon. Seeing him made me a bit sad. The deep accents made it a bit difficult to hear what they were saying sometimes.

I see Mr. Rivers received his order of **** and vinegar for Xmas! Yay Mike!!
Here's the trailer just for you!!!

Thank God the year is almost over....

Cheers,

If so, you should know that a lot of us Yanks - myself not included - do not like the Beatles or their works. Hence the spirited(!) reaction to you post.

My comment wasn't about The Beatles. I have nothing against the band or
movies made about them.

What bugged me was that that the original post was nothing but a URL
with the header of "... everybody has seen this by now..." with no
explanation of what "this" is. How do I know whether I've seen it or
not? How do I know that it's not an entry to malware?

Of course I didn't click on it. And now that I know from other responses
that it's a movie about The Beatles, I won't bother to click on it.
Thanks to everyone (else) for not being an asshole.

No need for you to apologise.

No, not UK. Nor USA. Just from part of the rest of the world without
such musical (or other) xenophobia, or inflexible music-historic interests.

A little 'surprise' Xmas cheer - apparently not. Didn't expect to get
slammed for it. Ignored was sufficient. Guess the grinch-element is
escalated at this time of year - slightly understandable.

It was clearly a Youtube URL, so harmless - apart maybe to one's
potential heightened sensitivities about musical taste. Would Frank
Sinatra, CCW, Gershwin, Seekers, CS&N(not Y or course) Bernstein, Glen
Campbell, Glass, Johnny Cash, Eagles, Willie Nelson, or The Band have
been more acceptable ?

If one doesn't have an antipathy towards everything Beatles, here's a
Wikipedia entry regarding the project. WARNING do not click this link if
disinterested - it will be a major effort, discomfort, and imposition.

Nobody on this thread has shown antipathy towards "everything Beatles." Nor
towards the Beatles in general, even. Some criticized you for
blind-link-mongering, criticism which you seem incapable of comprehending,
or even noticing. Some expressed antipathy towards a specific film, which
was not made by the Beatles. Your original post did not even mention the
Beatles, a point which you seem to refuse to acknowledge.

There was no Beatle-phobia nor xenophobia until you and your village idiot
buddy Theckkkhhhmah dreamed it up. In your case, probably because you're too
thick to actually read what posters said about your link-dropping. In
Theckmah's case, it's his usual retarded dumb-****ery (and maybe his
"inflexible music-historic interests"). You can keep pretending that it's
about the Beatles or about nationalism, or you could try to pull you head
out of your nether (antipodean?) orifice. It must be hard to listen to the
Beatles with your ear canals occluded by your colon lining.

My dad hated the Beatles, he said they were destroying music. "All they do
is say 'yeah, yeah, yeah.' That's not music."

I find it kind of ironic that my generation says the same thing about rap.

My Dad said the same thing about the Beatles, along with many other bands he
heard coming from my bedroom.
But the true test is whether or not rap will still be listened to and have
songs being considered "classic" in 30-50 years.

Here's my favorite rap song from a young, white rapper from 1965.
Can you dig it?

Johnny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out kid
It's somethin' you did
God knows when
But you're doing it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin' for a new friend
A man in the coonskin cap, in the pig pen
Wants eleven dollar bills, you only got ten
Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot
Talkin' that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phone's tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early May
Orders from the D.A. Look out kid
Don't matter what you did
Walk on your tip toes
Don't tie no bows
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes
You don't need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows
Oh, get sick, get well
Hang around a ink well
Hang bail, hard to tell
If anything is goin' to sell
Try hard, get barred
Get back, write braille
Get jailed, jump bail
Join the army, if you fail
Look out kid
You're gonna get hit
But losers, cheaters
Six-time users
Hang around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin' for a new fool
Don't follow leaders, watch the parkin' meters
Oh, get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance
Learn to dance, get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Don't wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Don't want to be a bum
You better chew gum
The pump don't work
'Cause the vandals took the handles
