NEW POST!! TMBP Extra: You are here. Finding meaning in the people and things that went before - and are here today - on a pilgrimage to the Beatles’ England. theymaybeparted.com/2025/05/23/t...
TMBP Extra: You are here
Gazing at 20 Manchester Square in London, I squinted trying to visualize the Beatles hanging over the stairwell, flashing their grins. They did it in 1963. They did it again in 1969. What a backdro…

NEW POST! TMBP Extra: Threetles’ Paradox - Tomorrow never really knows with the the Beatles. So what’s the right way to approach a history and legacy that’s perpetually in flux, and does the new Anthology serve its purpose?

TMBP Extra: Threetles’ Paradox
“It is no criticism of a thoroughly professional work that the Beatles will doubtless make sure it is out of date in a very short time.” Writing for the Liverpool Echo on Sept. 30, 1968, Jonathan C…

Happy 85th to the good Dr. Winston O’ Boogie! From the TMBP archives, written 10 years ago: A year in the life, contrasting the period between John Lennon’s birthdays in 1968 & '69 with the period between Paul McCartney's birthdays the same years. theymaybeparted.com/2015/10/09/t...
TMBP Extra: Celebrate anything you want
Three years ago in this space, we celebrated Paul McCartney’s 70th birthday with a brief look back at the period between June 18, 1968 and 1969, a stretch that straddled the Get Back/Let It B…

Today would have been George Harrison's 82nd birthday in the material world (or maybe it was just yesterday). Here's a repost of my birthday card to George, revisiting his deeply vibrant period between his 25th & 26th birthdays, from February 1968-69 🎂🎸🕉 theymaybeparted.com/2016/02/25/t...

NEW POST! What lies behind the Beatles in this very famous photo from 1960? In a collab with my coaster expert wife and with a little help from our friends, we solve a mystery and add a new name to the Beatles lexicon.

NEW POST: TMBP Extra: Stay till it's time to go

Initial thoughts on "Now and Then" and its place in Beatles history. I have a lot to say, so l'm subjecting you to it all in one place.

OTD 56 years ago - May 13, 1970 - The Beatles’ Let It Be arrives in theaters dotting the US without any glitzy premiere. Right before Get Back came out in 2021, I wrote at length about the extended lead-up and aftermath of the release of the original film: theymaybeparted.com/2021/11/22/t...
TMBP Extra: That road before
As a film, Let It Be has more backstory than story. In Beatle-time, the 15-plus-month turnaround from the end of their January 1969 sessions until the film’s release in May 1970 was simply a glacia…

It's January 6, the 57th anniversary of the 3rd day of the Beatles' 1969 Get Back sessions. Much to talk about inside Twickenham (see recap), but as usual, I'll start today with a thread offering context around the day itself 🧵https://theymaybeparted.com/2013/01/06/tmbp-extra-jan-6-1969-recap/

It’s April 28, and OTD in 1964 our Fabs filmed "Around the Beatles," a variety show that was an occasional talking point during the Get Back sessions as the group tried to plan a new TV special in Jan 1969. I took an extremely deep dive into it several years ago: theymaybeparted.com/2016/08/31/t...
TMBP Extra: Around the Beatles
In this space, one post from now, you’ll see this quote from Paul McCartney as he describes a new idea for the January 1969 live show: It’s a bit like “Around the Beatles.” By early 196…

It's a good day to post this, too, which I wrote 2 years ago on the film's rerelease on Disney+, on the importance of Let It Be and tying together more than a half-century of Beatles history: theymaybeparted.com/2024/05/07/t...
TMBP Extra: Then and now
It’s spring 2024 A.D., and when we last saw the Beatles, they were vanishing before our eyes in the “Now and Then” video, ascending to Pepperland, probably. In the moment, it was a powerful and tid…

The next day, Beatles assistant Peter Brown told director Michael Lindsay-Hogg: "Let me put it this way. I’ve had three calls this morning" asking to remove a half-hour of John & Yoko footage.

While we wait for the last Beatles song, here's a quick look back at the first time there was a last Beatles song.

I put this together this little birthday card of a post to mark Paul’s 70th (wow, I’ve been doing this a long time), but the same idea applies for his 83rd today: a quick look the year between his 24th and 25th birthdays theymaybeparted.com/2012/06/18/t...

It’s Grammys night, and the Beatles have already won once, and hopefully will again. So it’s as good an excuse as any for me to reshare this, which I probably wrote on the release of Now & Then. (I shared it a couple days ago, too, but you know me) theymaybeparted.com/2023/11/10/t...
