If that is Emilio Lari, that would be significant. The McCartney pictures in the background in some of his Rotten Apple scenes are stills from "Help." One in particular is Paul in front of the bookshelf from the "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" sequence. In addition to "Help" and "A Hard Days Night" I know he worked on Ringo's 1968 film "Candy." I have footage of him going through photograph negatives with Iamaphoney (the actor) and commenting on the difference in height between the original McCartney and the replacement. So, we have someone who met the pre 1967 Paul, and not for a few moments either. Taf, do you know if he met the post '66 McCartney? Quite an interesting development..

For me, it stops at 51 seconds and won't continue.

Well, to see "Apollo C Vermouth" at "The Apollo" would be something else, eh? (just a pseudonym he used once when he wrote a song for the Bonzo Dogs for the uninformed)
Doing the math, 20 million subscribers as of Nov. 15 divided by 150 winners = about 13,000 to one odds. (you had to be a loyal subscriber as of that date, no one else is allowed to enter) Rather golden ticket, heh.

I'm a subscriber, and of course I entered.. Likely millions will be competing, but we'll see..

www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23896620-sir-paul-mccartneys-publicity-chief-becomes-a-road-sweeper.doSir Paul McCartney's former publicity chief has started sweeping the streets of his home town after saying he has hit “rock bottom”.
Geoff Baker, 54, fell out with Sir Paul over his marriage to Heather Mills and has not worked for four years.
Mr Baker is doing voluntary work designed for the long-term unemployed in Lyme Regis, Dorset. He said he hopes to turn it into a business venture, charging visitors to accompany him as he gives a guided tour at the same time.

Who? Ringo? I dunno. At home spurning his fans, probably. Ringo wouldn't do that... Oh wait.. Well in all fairness he had his reasons, people were getting him to sign things so they could put them up on Ebay for a grand. No joke, they are still there, seen it for myself. I had a bit of fun with this at work, when I would ask a co-worker with whom I'd had a laugh about this to do something, I'd say "I'm telling you with peace and love in my best Ringo imitation.. I loved that bit. ;D Oh and yeah that was Mr. Richland, oops!

Because of broken links and the like (e.g. laziness), I'm not sure if it's been raised, but Harry Nilsson's "Mr Richard's Favorite Song" also quotes The Walrus And The Carpenter with reference to the relationship between a pop star and his fans. (Regardless of PID, any Beatles fans who haven't heard at least Harry Nilsson's first couple of albums really should rectify that problem.) You are so right Mr. Bunyan. And, everyone don't forget, a new movie about (the great) Harry Nilsson is due out on DVD on Tuesday Oct. 26th. Mr. Richard's Favorite Song came up here at some point I'm sure, I sure spent a bit of time contemplating its meaning.. Have a listen, especially at 2:20: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSWDh9YCYgg

The doorway, from a CBS news report the next evening: Even more so, don't understand how it reconciles with this: If the drawing is correct, the bullets all came at John from right to left, then made a hard right turn, and all met together at the glass door. The Warren Commission had just one magic bullet, this is three!

Just admitting to a first impression here, but when I started scrolling onto this one: I thought it was a picture of Paul.. And which one I wasn't sure.

www.tmz.com/2010/10/06/john-lennon-auction-finger-prints-documents-citizenship-application-u-s-residency-united-states/John Lennon's application for U.S. residency has been yanked from auction after the FBI put its foot down ... this according to the auction house.
A rep for the Gotta Have It! Rock & Pop Culture Auction tells TMZ ... "The item has been under investigation by the FBI because it is considered government property."
We're told the auction house has now pulled the document. Too bad ... word is the starting bid was for $100,000.
So far ... no comment from the FBI but a government official tells TMZ, "There is currently an investigation regarding the John Lennon documents in the auction and it's being headed by the FBI."

Yes, it is interesting, that diagram. Notice how #9 bleeds into #10 a bit?

JoJo how much money have you paid for news already told years ago by SK? Nothing I couldn't mostly get back if I chose to put it on Ebay. But I'm a Beatles fan, I enjoy collecting their stuff, it wasn't just to provide information to the forum(s). As I recall, SK found some of the material useful..

This is still hands down the best Beatle website on the WEB. I just wish I knew how to attach my graphic which is a .pdf file. I've browsed and attached but it doesn't show up. What am I doing wrong? Hey Carman, if you like, email the document to the address on my NIR profile, I'll take care of it.

Does sound like a seasoned, professional announcer.
But what is this: (Winged Beatle 4/5)
Anthology II was ready for release in February 1996. 2 1/2 million copies were loaded onto trucks and were about to leave the factory headed for the stores. Paul McCartney demanded that they change direction at the last minute. Instead of heading for the stores, they were returned... and all of them burned. Paul paid 12 million dollars to have them destroyed. The official explanation was that two songs had to change place.
Curious if there is a source for this? Up until the announcer dropped that on the table, it was routine stuff.. Just that Sir Paul ain't laying out that kind of dough for no good reason, multi-millions in the bank notwithstanding.

A close friend of mine is Brazilian, getting Portuguese and Spanish words mixed up really bugs her.. (although not as much as people who think Spanish is the national language of Brazil) Spanish speakers don't seem to be annoyed by that, so it figures what your native tongue is..

Hello EPS, and welcome to NIR. I do love an interesting tale, and you got right to it, no beating around the bush, heh.
Here is probably the only place on the internet where you could claim to be part of the process of creating Pepper and only be met with the mildest of rebukes, a good thing IMO. However don't assume that means your story is taken at face value, just that we're polite, but also we've been around the block many many times with storytelling.
Enjoy your stay here.

I bought the book, so far it looks like a pretty standard retelling of the usual stuff we've seen before, i.e. he met John at a 'fete', John and Paul practiced on Mimi's front porch, John looked down on George because he was so young, etc.. Also one of those writing styles that drives me nuts, as he tends to use short sentences, appearing to not have the skill set to string two or three together without creating a run-on sentence. (which I hope I didn't just do, lol)

What looks like an interesting book is being reissued: www.amazon.com/Sinister-Forces-Manson-Secret-Witchcraft/dp/0984185836/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_4The roots of coincidence and conspiracy in American politics, crime, and culture are investigated in this examination of the connections between religion, political conspiracy, and occultism. Readers are presented with detailed insight into how Charlie Manson became a national bogeyman as well as startling connections between Nobel Prize–winning physicist Wolfgang Pauli, Carl Jung, and synchronicity; serial killers, multiple personality disorder, and demonic possession; and magic, surrealism, and mind control. Not a work of speculative history, this third volume of a three-part set is founded on primary source material and historical documents. Fascinating secrets are divulged involving Hollywood icons such as Marilyn Monroe, David Lynch, and Jane Fonda as well as links between the Cotton Club murders, the Bluegrass conspiracy, and the Son of Sam cult.
