  • The Beatles: Eight Days a Week – the Touring Years
    1 THE BEATLES: EIGHT DAYS A WEEK – THE TOURING YEARS Release Dates U.S. Theatrical Release September 16 SVOD September 17 U.K., France and Germany (September 15). Australia and New Zealand (September 16) Japan (September 22) www.thebeatleseightdaysaweek.com #thebeatleseightdaysaweek Official Twitter handle: @thebeatles Facebook: facebook.com/thebeatles YouTube: youtube.com/thebeatles Official Beatles website: www.thebeatles.com PREFACE One of the prospects that drew Ron Howard to this famous story was the opportunity to give a whole new generation of people an insightful glimpse at what happened to launch this extraordinary phenomenon. One generation – the baby boomers - had a chance to grow up with The Beatles, and their children perhaps only know them vicariously through their parents. As the decades have passed The Beatles are still as popular as ever across all these years, even though many of the details of this story have become blurred. We may assume that all Beatles’ fans know the macro-facts about the group. The truth is, however, only a small fraction are familiar with the ins and outs of the story, and of course, each new generation learns about The Beatles first and foremost, from their music. So, this film is a chance to reintroduce a seminal moment in the history of culture, and to use the distance of time, to give us the chance to think about “the how and the why” this happened as it did. So, while this film has a lot of fascinating new material and research, first and foremost, it is a film for those who were “not there”, especially the millennials.

    LET ME TAKE YOU DOWN IN A CYN SANDWICH: The Profoundly Paradoxical Mind of John Lennon Brian Murphy Whenever a noble soul comes, the audience awaits. And he is not judged by his performance, but by the spirit of his performance. —Emerson [Journals, Dover, p.206] An essay-review of the following books: Cynthia Lennon, A Twist of Lennon (New York: Avon Books, 1978). Frederic Seaman, The Last Days of John Lennon: A Personal Memoir (New York: Birch Lane Press, 1991). Robert Rosen, Nowhere Man: The Final Days of John Lennon (Soft Skull Press, 2001).

Cynthia Lennon, John (London: Hodder & Stoughton, 2005). 101 I: Introduction On December 8, 1980, John Lennon was assassinated. So stated, this event was surely something new under the sun, a genuine first: a popular entertainer, a singer-song-writer, a mere celebrity was not only murdered but “assassinated”—a word whose associations evoke kings, archdukes, historical per­ sonages, heads of states, presidents, historical demarcations, Lincoln, King, Kennedy. It had been foreseen: in Hair, that astonishingly evoca­ tive mirror of The Sixties, the line comes with a shock, out of nowhere, “Mick! They shot Mick.” The tribe felt that the dark forces that killed the Kennedys and King would spill over, almost inevitably, to the brightness of the counter­ culture. They picked the wrong singer, but the fear was not misplaced.
