Like a Rolling Stone

I'ts hard to me believe that this song is still one of the rock classics for nearly 40 years.


Dylan wrote it in 1965...


I love his unique voice...


This song was sang by the Rolling Stones , Bon Jovi and even  Hendrix did a cover of it...

 Nothing can replace Dylan's version, you will have to admit it...

We Can Work It Out

'Guess whos coming to dinner' - I love this movie--today I first saw the movie . 


It has so much to say about humanity and cold judgement.


Sydney was the first one who predicted a black president, not to mention condoleza rice, a prediction we could have done without i might add, not because she was black but because she was a bush henchwoman. 


I think that Poitier is one of the ten best actors of all time. 


Great film !

The games people play ...

Two great singers.

Tom and Engelbert are living legend and the two best singers ever.

Only Elvis Presley and Roy Obrison are missing.
they are great with Billy Preston.

I always knew he was one of the best musicians but that he could sing with so much soul....Respect !!!!

Preston was one of the best Hammond/keyboard/Piano players ...

My Sweet Lord

Actually George Harrison was a man of great interest in Buddhism and Hare Krishna.

He brought the Sitar to rock and roll.

Tabla's and other Indian instruments.

And, if you hear the first words he said they are Hare Krishna.

I respect George Harrison no matter what.

Money - thats what I want !!!

"Plan for Change" is a two-minute advertisement in which President Obama will speak directly to the nation on his view of the state of the economy and what he would do to fix it ...

We wish him luck !!!

We all need it !!



The Beatles - Money :



Obama's Trillion Dollar Plan

I've got blisters on my fingers !

Nothing like Paul's voice from the '68 album.

However....back to the Sixties Paul has that incredible voice, but more impressive I don't understand how he can still shout like that at more than 60!

This version of the song is better than any cover from other bands (U2 or whatever).

And better than other versions from himself as well.

The Beatles - Helter Skelter rare Rehearsal :

Sir Paul McCartney - Tommorow in Israel !!!

Sir Paul McCartney landed at last in Israel ahead of his sole performance in Israel, at Tel Aviv's Yarkon Park Thursday.

He is staying at the Dan Hotel in Tel Aviv.

I hope they wont suffer from his bodyguards...

I red some place that the Dan's price list, comes to NIS 380,000 !!!
Good lord..!



Blackbird - Live



Two Fingers - Paul McCartney



Ever Present Past - ACOUSTIC VERSION

The original recording of 'Oh My Love' - Lennon and Harrison

John and George At Ascott studio in June 1971 recording the song Oh My Love for the Imagine album.

Their German friend Klaus Voormann plays bass and the late Nicky Hopkins is on second piano.

How annoying is yoko ono?

Imagine being the other musicians and being told what and what not to play by her?

She's even giving George instructions.

Fair enough if John wanted her there but she should have just sat out of the way and let them get on with it.

Watch it only here in MusicBlog :

The sun came...

George Harrison, Ringo Starr,Sir Elton John, Phil Collins, Eric Clapton and a few others play 'Here Comes The Sun'...

George has aways been the best Beatle!!!!

Watch this rare video :

George Harrison and his guitar

My favorite Beatle - Harrison.

John wanted to change the world , Paul wanted to entertain , but George just wanted to make music.

He wrote some of the Beatles' best songs: "Here Comes the Sun" , "Something" , "Blue Jay Way", "Within You, Without You", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "Taxman".

The Beatles - While My Guitar Gently Weeps :



While My Guitar Gently Weeps Acoustic George Harrison :

Last night I said these words to my girl ...

As George is playing the first few notes of the introduction , watch closely and see that John is tuning a string on his guitar!

Also see how Ringo misses his break at 1:24 ...

A great, great moment in televised entertainment.

The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show in February, 1964.

I'm pleased to say that they've please me for 39+ years now.

You'll Never Walk Alone

Gerry & The Pacemakers rivalled the Beatles early in their career, playing in the same areas of Hamburg, Germany and Liverpool, England.

Thier first hit in early 1963 "How Do You Do It?", a Mitch Murray written song that both Adam Faith and the Beatles had turned down , was a smashing hit and reached No.1 in the charts.

But specially they are now best known for their version of "You'll Never Walk Alone," which has become the anthem for Liverpool Football Club in England.

Liverpool's fans sing along to the song before every match at Anfield, their home stadium.

The original 'You'll Never Walk Alone' by Gerry & The Pacemakers :


Watch the fans of Liverpool FC singing 'You'll Never Walk Alone':

Rattle - Beatls & U2

Rattle & Hum is the soundtrack to U2 in their 1987 tour through America.
The album is a mix of live tracks and studio recordings.

Another use of the word "Rattle" was by late John Lennon as he and The beatles performed at the Royal Variety Performance, London in 4 November 1963.

He presented thier last number :
"For our last number , i'd like to ask your help. For the people in the cheaper seats - clap your hands...and the rest of you , if you just rattle your jewllery..."


Watch U2 - Rattle & Hum :

In Rainbows - Radiohead - I Love It !!

The group has actually succeeded in recreating themselves again... and the change is delightful.

Every time I listen to, "In Rainbows," I imagine myself relaxing on a gorgious beach watching the sun set into the neon glow of the horizon.

Compared to other Radiohead albums I actually prefer this one.

Watch the wonderfull videoclip from the 1996 French film "Microcosmos". The sensual pace and delicate melody of the song reminded me of a world much smaller than ours :

When I'm 64 - McCartney Heart Surgery

Our beloved beatle star Paul McCartney had a secret heart surgery last autumn , while he was embroiled in an ongoing divorce battle with Heather Mills.

His recovery was quick enough to perform with Kylie Minogue on Jools Holland's BBC Two New Year special.

Watch "When I'm 64" at "Yellow Submarine" movie :



Watch "When I'm 64" at kareoke style:

Julian Lennon - Sky Full Of Diamonds !!!

The last story about jhon lennon , reminds me his first son - julian.

Julian is the son of John Lennon and his first wife Cynthia.

When Julian was born, John Lennon was in the heap of his carrier and was forced to be a part-time father for Julian.

The legend tells that "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" arose out of a drawing Julian made of a classmate.

I , personally , like him and his art.

Watch him at "Too Late For Goodbyes " :



Watch "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" by the Beatles :

All We Need Is Lennon's HAIR !!!

A lock of John Lennon's hair was sold to an annonymous buyer.

The lock, was accompanied by a hand-written note from the Beatle saying :

"To Betty, lots of love and hair, from John Lennon xx."

Lennon gave it to the Beatles hairdresser Betty Glasow.

The lock of hair in a copy of his book ''A Spaniard in the Works.''

The lock of John Lennon's hair was bought for £24,000.

All we need is HAIR !!!

Watch Lennon and Yoko getting haircut :

'Beatles' Reunion - 3/7/2007

For the first time since the 'Beatles' split , the legendary group The Beatles will reunite On Larry King Live show , next week .

Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono Lennon and Olivia Harrison will be interviewed together on Larry King Live next Tuesday.

It would be interesting to see McCartney and Ono together...

Sir Phill Collins

Can’t understand why Phil Collins hasn't been knighted.

In my opinion, he is on par with Sir Elton John.
His song, "Another Day In Paradise" talks about homelessness.
We don't hear much about that issue in music. In my opinion, his rendition of "True Colors" is better than Cyndi Lauper's with the Collins touch.
The beautiful song "Two Hearts" Is worth at least an Oscar.
Phil's voice is outstanding tool and has a great range from pop rock to smooth ballads like "Against All Odds" and "I Wish It Would Rain Down".
Another anecdote - Phil appeared in The Beatles' A Hard Day's Night as one of hundreds of screaming teenagers during the climactic concert sequence.

Ebony and Ivory - Music Unites Colors

At the 80's ex-Beatle Sir Paul McCartney sang 2 duets with his

fellow musical superstars , Michael Jackson & Stevie Wonder.

''Say Say Say,'' his duet with Michael Jackson ,

got the benefit of better song, slightly more nonsensical and a funny video.

The other duet ''Ebony & Ivory''with Stevie Wonder was extraordinery touching along with the performance of the two Oracles of music.
Whoever directed that music video dressed them with black and white clothes and it was nice to see them like that.

MusicBlog wishes us all to live "side by side on the piano keyboard"...
