"Now and Then" is being proclaimed by The Beatles' official website as the "final" Beatles' song to be recorded and officially released. This morning, the related "official video" dropped. I just luv, luv, luv it!

Just now read the description of this "Other Topics" forum. It reads in part: "Please--put your FIRE related political posts in the 'FIRE Related Political Topics' forum." There is no such forum. Should it instead say the "FIRE Related Public Policy" forum?

Late today, Friday, June 23, American time, things in Russia (and Ukraine) have changed dramatically. Some refer to it as an "internal feud" in Russia that is boiling over and might result in a coup -- with the Wagner Group of mercenaries reportedly marching toward Moscow. See Engel's history...

For all you fellow Beatles fans, and perhaps for others who might be interested in discovering what the Beatles did musically, the "Virgin Rock" YouTube reaction channel is premiering a new project today, entitled "The Beatles 150." The first video in this new series drops later today. It's on...

Composer Burt Bacharach has died at age 94. As a baby boomer and music lover, I enjoyed the music he created (mostly with lyricist Hal David), especially the recordings he made with Dionne Warwick, during my youth.

The Beatles' official account dropped a ton of new videos today on YouTube promoting the just-released 2022 remixed Revolver album. I'm considering getting the new CD/DVD set, because even the MP3s of the tracks in these videos sound great. Example:

Verizon (& Tracfone) Customers beware of a recent scam. You may get a text from your own phone number, like I did last night, saying that your bill is paid in full for March and offers a link to a "gift." It's a phishing scam. News media today say it's limited to Verizon phone customers, but...

Well, the big NFL news for the upcoming 2022 season, both nationally and especially locally, is the Seattle Seahawks trading QB Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos for a bunch of trades, multiple draft picks, and QB Drew Lock. Wow! Then there's the Aaron Rodgers's deal just finalized: $50M a...

I just luv a well-made hot Reuben sandwich. When I wanna a cold one, a good BLT hits the spot, although egg salad on simple white bread is a close third fave. What are your favorite hot and cold sandwiches? (Got a recipe you'd like to share?)

I just now googled me, once again out of curiosity. I've done it a few times in the past. My name is similar to others, but I have been able to screen the results to me in particular. Dang! I am pretty happy with the results. They kinda condense my life, and it's all good. I prefer those...

Right before The Beatles came along, I was into the Beach Boys and Girl Group music (Shirelles and the like). I had one of those transistor radios with the one earphone. I'd ride my bike around town listening to the local Top 40 station. Then The Beatles invaded America. Shortly thereafter The...

I just discovered this Concert Archives.org site the other day, and think it's fantastic. You can create a free account, adjust your personal page settings, and add concerts already in the database to the list of shows that you attended. You can add comments, images (such as your ticket stub...

What are your favorite movies with a four word title? Among mine is A Hard Day's Night.

"Astrid Kirchherr Dies: Beatles Photographer Who Gave The Boys Their Mop-Top Look Was 81":

A true legend and pioneer of rock 'n roll Little Richard has died at age 87. He was one of my very favorites (and a huge inspiration to my favorite musical act of all time, The Beatles). I saw him perform once, circa 1987.

The new XFL Football season starts tomorrow, Saturday, Feb. 8. Isn't the XFL connected somewhat with the NFL? Didn't they have some XFL games broadcast on the NFL Network last year? How many XFL teams were there last year, and how many this year. (Guess I could google that, but that's no fun...

Tonight the TV Movie Channel broadcast "The Graduate." That's MY favorite movie of all time. I once again enjoyed that significant scene midway that connects the first half of the movie to the last half, with Mrs. Robinson and Benjamin in Room 568 trying to converse about... well, about...

I subscribe to some YouTube channels. Do you have any favorite channels that others here might like? Mine include: Since retiring some years ago, I have gotten back into playing guitar and trying to learn new songs. (I now have a catalog of over 900 songs I've save to Word/PDF: including...

With tonight's Hall of Fame Game, the 2018 NFL Season (pre-season, regular season, and post-season) has begun. Let's have fun! The most recent NFL Pre-season Power Rankings I saw: PHI CAR NE JAX MIN NO ATL PIT GB CAR SD HOU TEN BAL SF DET KC SEA OAK BUF TB DAL WAS CHI NYG DEN ARI CIN NYJ...

The 2017 NFL Season pretty much starts today, with a ton of pre-season games being played tonight thru Sunday. Yippy!

I thought I'd start this season thread earlier than usual, considering that the NFL draft is this weekend, and today: "The U.S. Court of Appeals handed down a decision on Monday morning that will reinstate the four-game suspension of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for his connection...

Johnny Carson is coming back Jan. 1, on Antenna TV! (I get Ant-TV OTA.)

I'm starting this new thread today, instead of waiting for the NFL Kickoff Game a few weeks down the road between the defending NFL Champions New England Patriots and the Pittsburgh Steelers Sept. 10, because today the NFL came out with its first Power Rankings of the season and, aside from the...

I had a bit of a scare this evening. This afternoon I was in town listening to a small and short and free outdoor concert. When I got home I couldn't find my phone. I thought I looked all over my apartment. I suspected it may have fallen out of my pocket at the concert. Yikes! I went down the...

I have pounds of documents I want to mail from the good ol' USA to Norway. This afternoon I sent a poster, within a light paper tube, that weighed a total of 7.9 ounces, and it cost me some $13.00! I can't image what something heavier will cost. I was told UPS ain't any cheaper, but I haven't...
