Apparently, it's Global Beatles Day (25 June)
We are to honour and celebrate the ideals of the Beatles.
Okay...

Sort of Monty Python a generation before.
That's what I'm going to honour.
Anyone can honour peace, love, and transcendentalism.
Good anarchic comedy is rare.

Today is Global Beatles Day
June 25th is the worldwide holiday to celebrate The Beatles. For me every day is Beatles Day. This month alone I got to see Ringo Starr live, Paul McCartney live, celebrated Sir Paul’s 80th birthday, got to review the documentary The Beatles and India, and Olivia Harrison’s poetry book about George Harrison.
Here are just a few of the ways you can celebrate Global Beatles Day today: https://www.globalbeatlesday.com/

JOHN LENNON: "When the Beatles were depressed -thinking the group was going nowhere, and this is a shitty deal, and we're in a shitty dressing room- I'd say, 'Where are we going, fellas?' And they'd go, 'To the top, Johnny!' And I'd say, 'Where's that, fellas?' and they'd say, 'To the toppermost of the poppermost!' and I'd say, 'Right!' Then we'd all sort of cheer up."

Maybe controversial but one thing about me is that I am a 1967 Crowley apologist
Tumblr media
I have seen a lot of hate for this look, and I personally will not stand for this homophobia any longer. I mean shit look at that turtle neck, that immediately yells 60’s slut to me. I also have seen many people talking about this same turtle neck and I can not believe you guys have switched sides. Oh now you suddenly love it? Like you did not hate on this man for it a couple months ago? You guys are just as bad as my man Jim here.
Now finally the haircut, the one piece of this look that has gotten the most backlash. But before I defend it, I feel like I need to give a little context on this hairstyle. 60’s and 70’s hairstyles are ugly as hell, and that is what makes them incredibly appealing. How dare a person have the audacity to rock something so insane, so never done before! God did not create the mop top on any of the seven days and by god that is why we look so horribly good in it (and also why Crowley is rocking it!). So in conclusion while the hairstyle is a bit startling, that is the beauty of it!
Also maybe it is the Beatle loving side of me and the good omens side of me screaming internally because my worlds are colliding, but the John Lennon glasses add the perfect mix to this, I mean damn Crowley had no reason to slay so hard. And I personally crave more 1967 Crowley, in fact I think our world would heal (probably not the global warming part though as I’m sure it took a shit load of hairspray for that hairstyle)
And before you guys open tumblr to attack this man for being incredibly groovy I ask you to stop in your tracks and revert your eyes to this utter rock bottom of a look I have ever seen. By god it looks like someone murdered a leprechaun and glued it to my man crowley’s chin!

George Harrison remained an enigma to many people, even those who were close to him. For a man who lectured passionately about karma and the meaning of existence, he seemed self-protective and closed off. Witty when called upon, there were also moments when he could be quite boorish. Perhaps it was because he was only twenty years old when the Beatles became a global sensation. That might not seem particularly young in today’s world of social media fame, but at the time, it was uncharted territory for the kind of adulation he was experiencing.
It was also difficult living in the shadow of Paul and John. In the beginning, they were openly dismissive of him. Paul said he always thought of George as a little brother. At first, John pretended not to know his name and sardonically referred to him as “that kid’’. Ironically, one of George’s compositions, Something, became the most covered song in the Beatles catalogue.
This interview was conducted at George Harrison’s palatial home, Friar Park, in Henley-on-Thames, on November 5, 1980. George was gracious but cool. He made a pot of tea in the drafty, vast kitchen of his 120-room estate, and spent two hours lecturing about Transcendental Meditation and the details of a limited edition of his autobiography, I Me Mine, which is certainly how he must have felt getting out on his own.
In 2000, George was diagnosed with oropharyngeal cancer. George died on November 29, 2001, in the company of his wife, Olivia; his son, Dhani; musician Ravi Shankar; and Hare Krishna devotees who chanted verses from the Bhagavad Gita. He was 58 years old and left nearly $100 million in his will. George told Olivia that he didn’t want to be remembered for being a Beatle, he wanted to be remembered for being a good gardener.

‘It was a transcendental experience that was beyond the mind’
On taking LSD
LSD was just such a violent, big experience. Before it I was totally ignorant, and afterward I knew I was totally ignorant and I was now on my way to having some sort of knowledge. I related it to the childhood experience of Catholicism and going to church on a Sunday and seeing all that phoney baloney. The moment I’d taken LSD, it just made me laugh because I understood it inside, just in a flash. I understood what the whole concept of God or religion was just by seeing it. I could see it in the grass in the trees.
It was an absolute truth; like a light going ching. I took three very powerful trips — big, very important — and then it left me a bit unsure because I had to try and figure something out. By that time I had gotten into Indian music and spent time in India, [and] there was so much about it that felt like home to me. Not the surface that you see — all this poverty and the flies and the shit everywhere — [it] went beyond all that. Smells in the atmosphere and the people’s attitude and the music, the food, the religion, everything about it … home.
‘I’d hear his voice wailing at five in the morning’
On the death of Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones
I liked Brian a lot, and later on, I realised it was probably because we were both Pisces. We both had similar natures. He was also similar in that he had a Keith and a Mick, whereas I had a John and a Paul. We both had that problem of two mighty egos to deal with in order just to try and survive. I was very susceptible to dope, and Brian [Jones] was even more susceptible. He’d come [to my house], and I’d just hear his voice wailing at like five in the morning: “George, Geeooorrgggeeee.” So I’d wake up, see what was going on, and I’d look out the window, and he’d be all white and just shattered walking around the garden — just looking for somewhere to be.
I would always meet him at that time of day and just try to calm him down. And I saw him a lot before he died in that sort of circumstance. The last time I saw him, I think, was when I’d been in hospital to have my tonsils out and he came to see me in hospital and the next week he was gone. He was like all of them who kicked the bucket — it was sad because there were too many pressures, really. Not just the pressure of being famous and having the press hounding you day and night and young fans hounding you day and night. Plus the drugs hounding you day and night.
‘F*** it — I could do better than that’
On his childhood inspiration, Cliff Richard
I remember being a kid of about twelve, dreaming of big motorboats and tropical islands and things which had nothing to do with Liverpool, which was dark and cold. I remember going to see Cliff Richard and thinking, f*** it — I could do better than that.
‘I think being Elvis was lonelier than being one of the Fab Four’
On fame — and Elvis Presley
We kept realising we were getting bigger and bigger until we all realised we couldn’t go anywhere —you couldn’t pick up a paper or turn on a radio or TV without seeing yourself. I mean, it became too much. We became trapped, and that’s why it had to end, is what I think … We were like monkeys in a cage. I think it was helped a bit by the fact that it was four of us, who shared the experience. I mean, there was more than four of us, there was Peter Brown and Brian Epstein, but there was only four of us who were actually the Fab Four — whereas Elvis had an entourage and maybe 15 guys, friends of his, but there was only one man having that experience of what it was like to be Elvis Presley. I think that was far lonelier than being one of the Fab Four because at least we could keep each other laughing or crying or whatever we did to each other. It was definitely an asset being in a group.
