    Pop Culture Universe: Icons, Idols, Ideas 6/3/14, 10:09 AM print page close window The Beatles The most successful group of the 1960s, the Beatles reshaped and reinvigorated rock and roll, arriving in the post- Presley period just when rock music had been tamed. Isolated from the cultural center of London, the Beatles emerged from the unlikely working-class environment of Liverpool, England, an industrial shipping-port city where residents had access to foreign goods such as American rhythm and blues (R&B) and jazz records. With British radio playing few American rock records in the late 1950s, these American imports exposed aspiring musicians John Lennon and Paul McCartney to Little Richard and Fats Domino. Lennon's childhood was marred by exploding Nazi bombs, and an unstable home life. After the divorce of his parents, Lennon was raised by his aunt and uncle, Mimi and George Smith. After hearing Elvis Presley's "Heartbreak Hotel," Lennon pursued a career in music, abandoning the notion of being a sailor like his father. Given an inexpensive guitar by his mother Julia, Lennon suffered another tragedy when she was struck and killed by a bus. The son of a jazz bandleader, McCartney grew up in a stable environment until 1956, when his mother died of cancer. While attending the prestigious Liverpool Institute, McCartney became obsessed with the guitar, finally purchasing one at age 14. A fan of rockabilly, he emulated guitarists like Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran. The eldest Beatle, Richard Starkey Jr. (later, Ringo Starr), was the son of a baker.

  • John Lennon's Biography
    John Lennon’s Biography John Lennon was a very talented writer. He was asked to write a biography for Merseybeat, a fortnightly magazine about rock ‘n’ roll owned by editor, Bill Harry. It was an essential read for fans of the Liverpool music scene and The Beatles appeared numerous times in its pages. John wrote the following biography: Once upon a time there were three little boys called John, George and Paul, by name christened. They decided to get together because they were the getting together type. When they were together they wondered what for after all, what for? So all of a sudden they grew guitars and fashioned a noise. Funnily enough, no one was interested, least of all the three little men. So-o-o-o on discovering a fourth little even littler man called Stuart Sutcliffe running about them they said, quite ‘Sonny get a bass guitar and you will be alright’ and he did – but he wasn’t alright because he couldn’t play it. So they sat on him with comfort ’til he could play. Still there was no beat, and a kindly old man said, quote ‘Thou hast not drums!’ We had no drums! they coffed. So a series of drums came and went and came. Suddenly, in Scotland, touring with Johnny Gentle, the group (called the Beatles called) discovered they had not a very nice sound – because they had no amplifiers. They got some. Many people ask what are Beatles? Why Beatles? Ugh, Beatles, how did the name arrive? So we will tell you.

  • Wikipedia Beetles Dung Beetles Are Beetles That Feed on Feces
    Wikipedia beetles Dung beetles are beetles that feed on feces. Some species of dung beetles can bury dung times their own mass in one night. Many dung beetles, known as rollers , roll dung into round balls, which are used as a food source or breeding chambers. Others, known as tunnelers , bury the dung wherever they find it. A third group, the dwellers , neither roll nor burrow: they simply live in manure. They are often attracted by the dung collected by burrowing owls. There are dung beetle species of different colours and sizes, and some functional traits such as body mass or biomass and leg length can have high levels of variability. All the species belong to the superfamily Scarabaeoidea , most of them to the subfamilies Scarabaeinae and Aphodiinae of the family Scarabaeidae scarab beetles. As most species of Scarabaeinae feed exclusively on feces, that subfamily is often dubbed true dung beetles. There are dung-feeding beetles which belong to other families, such as the Geotrupidae the earth-boring dung beetle. The Scarabaeinae alone comprises more than 5, species. The nocturnal African dung beetle Scarabaeus satyrus is one of the few known non-vertebrate animals that navigate and orient themselves using the Milky Way. Dung beetles are not a single taxonomic group; dung feeding is found in a number of families of beetles, so the behaviour cannot be assumed to have evolved only once. Dung beetles live in many habitats , including desert, grasslands and savannas , [9] farmlands , and native and planted forests. They are found on all continents except Antarctica. They eat the dung of herbivores and omnivores , and prefer that produced by the latter.

  • A History of International Beatleweek (PDF)
    The History of International Beatleweek International Beatleweek celebrates the most famous band in the world in the city where it was born – attracting thousands of Fab Four fans and dozens of bands to Liverpool each year. The history of Beatleweek goes back to 1977 when Liverpool’s first Beatles Convention was held at Mr Pickwick’s club in Fraser Street, off London Road. The two-day event, staged in October, was organised by legendary Cavern Club DJ Bob Wooler and Allan Williams, entrepreneur and The Beatles’ early manager, and it included live music, guest speakers and special screenings. In 1981, Liz and Jim Hughes – the pioneering couple behind Liverpool’s pioneering Beatles attraction, Cavern Mecca – took up the baton and arranged the First Annual Mersey Beatle Extravaganza at the Adelphi Hotel. It was a one-day event on Saturday, August 29 and the special guests were Beatles authors Philip Norman, Brian Southall and Tony Tyler. In 1984 the Mersey Beatle event moved to St George’s Hall where guests included former Cavern Club owner Ray McFall, Beatles’ press officer Tony Barrow, John Lennon’s uncle Charles Lennon and ‘Father’ Tom McKenzie. Cavern Mecca closed in 1984, and after the city council stepped in for a year to keep the event running, in 1986 Cavern City Tours was asked to take over the Mersey Beatle Convention. It has organised the annual event ever since. International bands started to make an appearance in the late 1980s, with two of the earliest groups to make the journey to Liverpool being Girl from the USA and the USSR’s Beatle Club.

  • Inside out the Beatles -.:: GEOCITIES.Ws
    Inside Out The Beatles WORKSHEET A n 2005, thirty-five years after they broke up, The Beatles were named by Variety magazine as the most iconic entertainers of the 20th century. Not a bad Iachievement for four working class boys from Liverpool, England. Paul McCartney met John Lennon in 1957 at a garden fete where John Lennon was playing with his band. After talking they decided to play together and became The Quarrymen. George Harrison, who was a friend of Paul McCartney, joined the band in 1958 and they changed their name to The Silver Beetles. They changed their name once more in 1960 and became The Beatles. They travelled to Hamburg, Germany, where they developed their musical skills and came back to the UK as experienced performers, where they quickly became stars. Their manager Brian Epstein worked hard to get them a recording contract, but it wasn’t an easy task. They had a lot of different drummers until 1962, when Ringo Starr joined the band. The final line up was John Lennon and George Harrison on vocals and guitars, Paul McCartney on vocals and bass, and Ringo Starr on drums. Finally, after being rejected by almost every other label, the recording company EMI agreed to try them out. They recorded their first single Love Me Do at Abbey Road Studios in London and within a year ‘Beatlemania’ had taken hold of Britain. They released their first US single I Wanna Hold Your Hand in 1964 and the United States, too, was instantly gripped by ‘Beatlemania’. By the following year, they had become the most famous band in the world.
