Fest for Beatles Fans 2024 Write-Up

In case anyone wants to know what goes on at these things, I can at least give you a run-down of what I did at this one, though as always there was far more going down than any one person could see. I tend to favor panels and discussions over bands, so I am sure I missed a lot of great music. Because the bands were great.

It was held this year at the TWA Hotel, which is part of JFK International Airport and has retained a lot of the features of when it used to be a terminal. I posted photos of it last year when I was there on a layover, and I still love it to death. They did NOT let me ride on the baggage thingy though. In addition, I was unable to secure a room at the hotel, though if they hold it here again I will be snagging one because, like I said, the place is bonkers.

Friday

I entered my cross-stitch in the art contest, because why not? While there ran into several people whom I had met last August at the Fest in Chicago.

Beatles Biography panel with Vivek Tiwary (The Fifth Beatle graphic novel) and Madeline Bocaro (In Your Mind - The Infinite Universe of Yoko Ono). Vivek comes off very passionate and sweet, very respectful of Brian Epstein and cognizant of the importance of telling his story right. Bocaro is also very passionate, but I'm afraid some of us present her personal Ono pendulum has swung too far to admit any human fault in her subject. I later bought the Brian book, but not the Ono.

First Generation Fan Panel was mostly Leslie Healy recounting her adventures, which are legion: she was at the Ed Sullivan dress rehearsal, and at Shea Stadium, and she's *also* the one who got that audio at Paul's house when she visited all four Beatles in 1967. Also, she had a Bearded Collie, which I also had growing up, so that gave me a thrill.

I entered the 60s dress up contest -- second time as Twiggy was the charm, and I won! And then there was a lot of dancing. Gogo boots, ironically, not so much made for such activities.

Saturday

Chatted with some folks because it was more interesting that listening to the speakers, oops. The guy from the Ranking the Beatles podcast is lovely and we've already been in touch since. Also Terry Crain who wrote a great coffee table book about NEMS Beatles merch, which I bought last year.

Went to the dealer's room and bought silly buttons, like TO HELL WITH THE 'BEATLES' and I ❤️ PAUL. There were butcher covers and all that jazz, and horrid dolls, and all the lovely awful things, none of which I could ever afford. But I can buy buttons!

Lovely friends entered the talent contest and proceeded to the finals, and they kicked so much ass and I am so proud of them.

Academic panel with Ken Womack, Christine Feldmman-Barrett, and Andy Nichols was pretty good, a lot of talk about how subsequent generations get hooked and sort of the state of Beatles fandom/academia today. Which feels fairly positive, in the sense that all present felt there is more respect now than there was--though still room to improve on that score.

As a side note, all of my interactions with Womack convince me he's a great guy, very passionate in his love for the Beatles and very devoted not only to doing this right but in elevating lesser-heard voices. He's a very likable man.

Speaking of, next he interviewed Laurie Kaye, who did the radio interview with John on his last day. Her story was very moving.

Tried to dance again this evening after the talent show but unlike the previous night, everyone thought we were weird and stared forbiddingly at us from their seated positions.

But my PAUL IS DEAD / IF YOU WANT IT / HAPPY CHRISTMAS FROM JOHN & YOKO shirt was a hit. Finally.

Sunday

Saw Jude Southerland-Kessler talk about the "birth of the beatles" but sadly it was NOT about the tv film of the same name. So I went to chat with Adrian Sinclair and Allen Kozinn instead, which they later tweeted about.

Beatlemania in the 21st Century panel was about, well, what it says. Next was Women's History of the Beatles which was also interesting and involved various writers, teachers, fans, podcasters, etc. I got to meet Erika from BC the Beatles which was very cool.

Then came the Laurence Juber and Steve Holley panel which I have mentioned elsewhere.

Jenny Boyd talked about fashion and the Apple Boutique, hosted by a lady who wrote a book about Beatles and fashion I would like to read.

Fantastic band with great additional harmonies, which I knew who they were.

I did not win the art contest. I did get a participation ribbon. I'm not even a millennial.

We then found a quiet place to chat, of which which the hotel had many, and then I needed to go to bed so I could be bad in like five hours for my flight.

I've probably forgotten lots of things but that is the general run down. There was also a video room, two stages for bands, more art, authors and guests at tables all weekend, and Mickey Dolenz, whom I did not meet but it's cool he was there.

#yes i know some of you were there too i'm just not outing you #kris talks a lot #beatlesfest2024 #fest for beatles fans

Fandom 101: Getting Started on Fanlore.org

Not long ago, we at Duck Prints Press decided that we’d like the Press to have a page on Fanlore. To accomplish that, Press contributor Shea Sullivan made an account and figured out the nuts and bolts on how to add pages to Fanlore. Turns out, it’s not very hard, and now in this guest blog post, Shea will teach y’all how to do it too!

Making Your First Fanlore Page!

Hello! I am an editor on Fanlore as of a few days ago. Before that, I’d worked with mediawiki (the open source platform Fanlore uses) for unrelated projects, so I had a general understanding of how things worked, but no idea how Fanlore preferred their pages to be formatted or organized or linked.

This is how I got started!

First: What is Fanlore and Why Should You Care?

Fanlore is a wiki specifically dedicated to the fandom experience. It’s not for canon info about a specific fandom; rather, it’s for information about how fans interact with media and each other. Fanlore is run by the OTW, the same organization that brings us our beloved AO3. This context helped me in understanding the focus of Fanlore. It’s about fandom: the ups, the downs, the trends, the drama…all the things that can get lost forever when sites disappear or there’s a purge. And that said…well, you may still not care. But if you do, read on!

Second: You Care. Now What?

(read more)

Get an account. Right now. It’s worth getting the account, because you won’t be able to create new pages for a few hours. So, get the account first, figure out what to do with it later.

Go to fanlore.org and click on “Create Account” in the upper right-hand corner:

Third: You Have the Power (Soon)!

Read up! No need to invent the wheel in this post – they’ve got some great resources for getting started already written on their webpage.

Fanlore Getting Started Page

General Help Pages on Fanlore

Four hours after you create your account, you can create pages! Congrats! There are a ton of help pages out there, but the questions I had initially were:

How do I make sure this page doesn’t exist already?

Search. Search for the page. Search for key phrases associated with the page. A page name is a fiddly thing, so search for significant phrases in a few different ways before you determine it doesn’t exist. Always make sure you check before you set out to create page!

How do I add this page?

If it’s not there, you’ll see it come up in red when you search. Type the page name you want to create in the search bar. Click “Search” to get all the results, and then click on that red link.

How do I format this page?

You now have an empty page. When I was getting started, my big question was: what should my page look like? Well, Fanlore has templates that can help with that! The templates are in a markup language, but do not fear! Copy and paste the template (everything in the blue box on the template page, typically starting with curly braces), make some updates, and click “Preview.” You can repeat those steps indefinitely until you get the hang of the markup. There’s also a ton of information on the Fanlore.org cheatsheet. (If you’re still confused, keep reading, there’s more specifics under the infobox section.)

Once you have the page created and published, you can edit it without the markup language if you prefer – there’s “Edit,” which gives you a non-code-based option, and an “Edit Source” button, which gives you the code-based option.

If your proposed page topic doesn’t have an official template created for that topic, you can look up similar pages and see how they’re structured. If you’re not sure how they managed to make something look a certain way, click the “Edit Source” button and look at the code there to get a sense of what they did. Be sure to cancel out of the edit when you’re done so you don’t make unintentional changes to someone else’s page! Some pages are locked down (like the template pages) so you can’t make edits, but most “normal” pages will have those links at the top so you can dig in and see what’s there and how the people who wrote that page made it look the way it does.

How do I add an infobox?

Those infoboxes on the right of a lot of pages give a quick overview of important information. These are templates, and you can find a list of available infobox templates here.

The templates, when you click into them, have a heading and some info that you can fill in. You can’t remove items from the template without making a new template, which I don’t recommend trying when you’re getting started. Use the template, fill in the information, and mark “N/A” if you don’t have information to insert in a specific field. A sample template for an infobox looks like this, and you fill in information after each “equals” sign. You can add a list, and you can add links to these after the equals sign using the markup for internal and external links on the Cheatsheet.

{{FanProfile |name= |alias(es)= |type= |fandoms= |communities= |other= |url= }}

If you’re still confused, let’s go to Astolat’s fan page and click “Edit Source” and see how the infobox looks behind the scenes:

See how everything that was in the original template is still there, there’s just a list of information after the equals sign?

And here’s how it looks formatted:

How do I categorize this page?

Categories are important because they help Fanlore’s back-end coding group pages together so people can find the page you’ve created and so the page is in the right place in the site map. If you can’t figure it out, though, don’t worry, there are people who will find it and take care of it!

If you have an infobox from a template, this is taken care of.

If you didn’t use an infobox template, you can add a Category to index the page.

Finding a Category can be a little overwhelming. If you have an example page (another page that contains the same type of content as yours), you can scroll to the bottom of that page and see what Category has been assigned to it. You can add that Category to your page by editing the source and adding that category into your page at the bottom with 2 square brackets, like this: [[Category:YourCategory]]

Use “Preview” to make sure you set it up correctly before saving the page.

If you need to find a category and can’t find a good example page, I recommend going to the sitemap, finding what fits your article the best, and clicking into it. Categories are set up in hierarchies, so click through until you find the Category and Subcategory that fits best.

Add it at the very bottom of the page, and it should show up when you preview, at the very bottom of the page.

How do I add those nifty citation references[1]?

Review theFanlore page on citation formatting for details. The basics are:

Add a blank References heading at the bottom of the page.

Add tags and include the source information.

What is the difference between a citation and an external link? Good question! I don’t know for sure, but the way I’ve been using it, if I make a statement about a thing and I want to direct you to the “proof” (article, webpage, etc), I will use a citation. If there is a thing I’m linking to because it is relevant but not as proof of what I’m saying on the wiki, I will add it as an external link.

Fourth: Don’t Worry

You’ll find there are a lot of instances when you might not be sure what the “right” way is to do whatever it is you’re trying to do. Don’t let that stop you! Do a little research, do your best, and be okay with a learning curve.

The thing about wiki editing in general, and this includes Fanlore, is that it’s a community project, and everyone is doing their best. It’s worthwhile to think about trying to make your pages consistent with other pages where you can, because it will help people who are trying to find what you’re providing. So, poke around similar pages first and look for common trends in how they’re organized, and mimic that for your own page.

All that said, there is very little hierarchy in editors and few rules set in stone. It’s a community site put together by volunteers. You may find that you’ve labeled, referenced, cited, categorized, etc, a page incorrectly, or that you added a page that was already there under another name, or you may have put in a canon page when that’s really not what Fanlore is for. No problem! A page can be reverted to a previous version. It can be removed by a “Gardener” (higher-level editor), or edited by someone else who is more familiar with the inner wiki workings, or you can even tweak it yourself when you learn a better ways to code the page.

There is always a path forward, so get in there and get started!

Happy creating, happy fandom, and welcome!

Y ASI FUÉ, EL PRIMER GRAN CONCIERTO DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS...HACE 58 AÑOS.

El domingo 15 de Agosto de 1965, 9:16 P.M. The Beatles se presentan ante 55,600 personas, en lo que se podría considerar su más grande concierto en vivo en su carrera:EL SHEA STADIUM.Es la primera fecha de su segunda gira por Los Estados Unidos en 1965.

Cuando The Beatles llegaron en un avión de la TWA al aeropuerto Joh F Kennedy,inmediatamente después hubo una conferencia de prensa .

The Beatles se llevaron $160,000 dólares a sus bolsillos(un promedio de $100 por segundo de su presentación)de los $304,000 dólares de ingresos del concierto.( parecido a Messi ) El evento fué promovido por Sid Bernstein.

Para esta ocasión fueron destinados 2,000 policias para cuidar el orden alrededor y dentro del estadio.La idea original era que The Beatles aterrizaran en helicóptero en el campo dentro del estadio, pero las autoridades de Nueva York,no aprobaron el permiso,por considerarlo riesgoso.Esa noche,Bob Dylan los visitó a su hotel.

La policía tenía miedo que los fans pudieran congestionar los túneles de entrada y salida a Manhattan por lo que el grupo fue primero escoltado por una limusina hasta el Manhattan East River Heliport.Ahí abordaron un Helicóptero de New York Airways,Modelo Boeing Vertol 107-II.El helicóptero voló tomando una vista panorámica de los rascacielos de Manhattan,para proveer una espectacular imagen de introducción para el film y aterrizó en la azotea del edificio en donde se había realizado la Feria Mundial en Queens,Nueva York

Después fueron conducidos en una Van de la Wells Fargo,rumbo al Shea Stadium.Fué en esa furgona en donde se les dieron las placas de identificación que tenían la leyenda: "WELLS FARGO AGENT".Mientras eso ocurría ya había varios grupos amenizando en el estadio. Los grupos abridores fueron:Brenda Holloway and The King Curtis Band,Cannibal & The Headhunters,Sounds Incorporated y The Young Rascals.

Llegando se dieron unos minutos para ensayar. El concierto fue grabado en película por la compañía de Ed Sullivan: Sullivan Productions,en asociación con NEMS Enterprises y Subafilms de Brian Epstein.Fueron utilizadas 12 cámaras,que se encontraban estratégicamente colocadas en el Shea Stadium.The Beatles fueron presentados por Ed Sullivan, The Beatles se enfilaron rumbo al escenario a las 9:16 P.M. El escenario estaba ubicado en la segunda base.Conectaron sus instrumentos a unos nuevos amplificadores de 100 Watts,diseñados por la compañía VOX y debido que aún así era insuficiente,también se conectaron a los amplificadores internos del Shea Stadium. The Beatles tocaron 12 canciones:“Twist And Shout”,“She's A Woman”,“I Feel Fine”,“Dizzy Miss Lizzy”,“Ticket To Ride”,“Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby”,“Can't Buy Me Love”,“Baby's In Black”,“Act Naturally”,“A Hard Day's Night”,“Help!” y “I'm Down”.

Mick Jagger,Keith Richards y Andrew Loog Oldham estaban en la audiencia.El concierto fue presentado como un especial de televisión de 50 minutos llamado “The Beatles At Shea Stadium”,fue pasado el 1 de Marzo de 1966,a las 8:00 P.M. por el canal 1 de la BBC.El mismo documental se presentaría hasta el 10 de Enero de 1967 a las 7:30 P.M. a la audiencia de Los Estados Unidos. Dos canciones serían exluídas del especial:“She's A Woman” y“Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby”.También hubo nuevas mezclas de sonido en Londres el 5 de Enero de 1966,The Beatles regresarían nuevamente al Shea Stadium el 23 de Agosto de 1966,en su Tercer y último Tour por los Estados Unidos.

El 17 de Julio del 2009,Paul McCartney regresó a ese lugar y dio un concierto en el “Citi Field”,lugar donde se encontraba el Shea Stadium.

Para concluír podemos afirmar que el concierto que The Beatles ofrecieron en el Shea Stadium un día como hoy,un 15 de Agosto de 1965,permanecerá por siempre en la memoria colectiva de todos los que amamos su música.

Feliz Santo a las Marías.

Devastated || 10. Register

Paring: (Christopher "Sully" Sullivan x Original Female Character Mance!)

Word Count: 2067

Warnings: slight language, death mention, betrayed

Last: Appearance | Next: Motive

Back in the main area, Jennifer thinks about her other brother she has no clue who he is. "You okay?" Danny asks her.

"He said it's part of their plan." She tells them.

"Their? He has an accomplice?" Sully asks.

"My other brother... he found him and they are bonding, making up lost time." She tells them.

"So there's someone else on this island we don't know about helping him?!" Danny panics.

"We have him locked up. No one we don't know is getting past us to help him get out." Sully tells them.

"What if-," Sully cuts Jen off.

"He's not getting out. And if he wants you he's gotta go through me first." He rubs her shoulders.

"He killed Shane, Sully for helping us girls. He strung him up over an oar... He'll kill you too." Her eyes get watery.

"If so at least it's me trying to help you." He kisses her forehead.

"Hate to ruin the moment but it's funny seeing you two like this. All lovey-dovey." Danny motions between the two.

"I don't care. Now, I'm going to see if I can fix this broken radio."

Abby arrives back at the station with Shea and Madison. Madison talks to Sully as he examines the broken radio, revealing he has knowledge of the inner workings of a radio.

"You just need a new one, I think." Madison tells him so he stops giving her a look trying not to snap at her.

"She's a child..." Jennifer puts an arm around his waist, "But there's gotta be another one somewhere on this island. There has to be." Jennifer looks at the broken one.

"If so it should shoot a beacon of light out of it so we know where it is." He looks at her.

Henry arrives moments later, announcing that Trish and Jimmy have disappeared. Shea mentions Jimmy's criminal record in the attic, causing everyone to suspect him.

"It's not him. Wakefield just told me about my other brother." Jennifer tells the others as Madison says Wakefield wanted to talk to Abby.

Sully reviews Jimmy's run-ins with Wakefield, each time surviving, and Danny suggests the head spade trap could have been set by a fisherman. Shea asks why, and Henry suggests he had been angered by Abby leaving seven years ago. Sully continues on to suggest that he had partnered with Wakefield.

"Please, guys. Just trust me; it's not Jimmy. I know that because my gut tells me." She says as Henry readies to find Trish and Jimmy enters, telling them that she fell at the bluffs.

Jimmy runs to gather supplies to rescue Trish and Henry grabs his rifle. Jimmy pleads for everyone to help Trish as they suspect him. Henry attacks Jimmy, suggesting he killed Trish, and Jimmy continues to plead for them to save her.

"Stop it!" Jennifer gets in front of Henry pushing him back. "It's not him!" She shouts at him.

"You're going to believe what Wakefield tells you?" Henry asks.

"Yes, because why would he lie to me about my other brother? He said he hasn't killed Jimmy because it's to mess with Abby and me and it makes him look suspicious to you guys." She moves to go over to Jimmy. "You aren't touching my brother." She glares at them and Henry huffs.

Abby, Jimmy, Henry, Jennifer, and Sully leave going to the bluffs and calling out for Trish. Jimmy readies the rope to climb down, and Henry suggests Jimmy pushed her off the edge.

At the bottom of the bluffs, Henry and Sully aim their guns at Jimmy, not finding Trish anywhere. Abby and Jennifer both step in front of their rifles, attempting to convince them Jimmy is innocent.

As tensions mount, Trish appears at the top of a bluff nearby. They all run to Trish, and she explains how she fell, before mentioning that she discovered a radio nearby.

Jennifer punches Sully in the chest before they follow Trish to the radio. Jimmy attempts to signal the coast guard using an emergency band. When he fails, Sully takes over attempting to fix the radio.

Sully manages to reach the Seattle coast guard, and Trish explains the situation to them. The coast guard tells her they'll be there in less than four hours, and to have someone stay by the radio.

Sully volunteers to stay with the radio, so Jennifer says she'll stay too. Henry agrees to take Trish to the Candlewick Inn for some dry clothes, and Abby decides to return to the Sheriff's Station with Jimmy.

"You're gonna regret it when Jimmy is cleared." Jennifer tells him as they were alone.

"You can't be too trusting Jen. You haven't known Jimmy for seven years. He could have snapped." He tries to explain to her.

"I know my brother and it's not him and why would Wakefield lie to me? Jimmy isn't his other kid because my dad hates I wasn't his like Jimmy was. Why can't you just trust me?" She takes his hands into hers.

"I'm scared, Jen. And I don't know who to trust. The only person I can clear is you." He tells her.

"If you love me and mean it... you'll trust me." She tells him.

"I do..."

"Then trust me, please." She begs him so he kisses her.

"Okay, I'll trust you."

"Thank you." She kisses him back.

After some time Shea and Madison arrive and informs them that Wakefield has escaped, "We think someone's helping him." Shea tells them.

"Yes, but it's not Jimmy. He never went in the back to see him in the cell so he couldn't have helped him get out." Jennifer says and looks back at Sully.

"Yeah, he's with Abby. They sent us here to find you." Shea agrees.

Sully asks about Danny, and Shea informs him that Danny fought off Wakefield to help them escape. Sully radios the coast guard again, informing them about Wakefield, and is enraged when they tell him they haven't left yet.

Sully notes the boat hanging in the boat house and decides to use it to leave. He tries to talk Jennifer into joining Shea and Madison on the boat but she refuses to go with them.

"I'm not leaving you here alone! I'm not leaving Abby, Jimmy, or Henry either! Plus, Trish is still out there." She fights him as he tries to get her to get on. "NO! I'm staying with you!" She yells.

"Fine!" He gives in as Shea heads off with Madison. "You're stupid." He tells her.

"I know, but I'm not leaving you here. We've known each other for fourteen years, and for eleven of them, you've been trying to get me... now you got me, and I'm not leaving you." She kisses him, "Let's get back to the boat house in case the others go back there. We can also let the coast guards know about Madison and Shea."

Sully radios the coast guard again, informing them of Shea and Madison's boat as Jennifer leans on his back with her arms wrapped around his shoulders as he sits at the radio and neither of them hear Henry enter.

"When the hell are you guys getting here?" Sully asks.

"I'll get back to you in a second with an ETA. Over."

"Yeah, thanks. Take your time." He puts the walkie down, "You should have gone with them." Sully sighs as Henry stays quiet walking to them slowly.

"Maybe but I wasn't leaving your side." She kisses his shoulder as Henry makes the floorboard squeak causing them to jump.

"Henry. Damn it. You scared the hell out of me. Man am I glad to see you." They huh each other.

"Did I hear right? Shea and Madison got off the island?"

"Yeah. Wakefield escape and I had to make sure they were safe. I tried to get Jennifer to go but she wouldn't go with them." Sully tells him.

"Why didn't you go with them?" Henry asks as Jennifer watches him. She hasn't exactly cared for him since he wanted to kill Jimmy. Yeah, Sully did the same but it was different and she couldn't explain it.

"And leave you?" Sully tells him.

"I...I'm impressed. Seriously. That is quite possibly the stupidest thing you've ever done."

Sully talks to the coast guard, while Jennifee watches Henry out of the corner of her eye messing with Sully's gun. Sully agrees to meet their helicopter at the marina in forty-five minutes.

"Jen, why don't you stay here in case Abby and Jimmy or even Trish come back?" Henry suggests not wanting her to go with them.

She looks at Sully not wanting to leave his side, "We'll be fine. Once we find them or if we can't, I'll come back to get you, okay?" Sully walks over to her.

"It's not just Wakefield out there... remember." She tells him scared and nervous about Henry's tiny recent actions. He was her best friend but like Sully said, who can you really trust. She course didn't want to think it was him, but she just confused with him for the past couple of hours.

"I'll be back. I promise you that. As you said, I've been trying to get you... now I got you, and I'm not leaving you." He kisses her while Henry glares at them from the side.

"Be safe, please." She kisses him back. "Henry," She gives him a head nod.

"Of course. Jenny, everything will be right once this is over." He gives her a weak smile as him and Sully leave.

As soon as the door closes, her heart drops and has a bad guy feeling about everything. No one they couldn't have known have slipped past them to help Wakefield escape.

You might already be very close to your brother; who knows?

Jennifer knew the only guys left were Sully, Henry and Jimmy. She knew 100% it wasn't Jimmy or Sully, but Henry...

Everything will be right once this is over. She hears Wakefield say it in her head and then Henry says they exact same thing to her.

"No," She rushes out of the boathouse trusting her gut.

He was the only person that made sense of you go over things. Always defending Abby and her a bit too much. He knew where Trish's dad would stand. He wanted the wedding to be on the island. Plus he locked up Wakefield.

As she was running around looking for them, she could hear a faint yell from Henry in the distance so she follows it running faster than ever.

Both guys keep calling out Trish's name as they walk around looking for her. "You know what I don't get. How Wakefield escape from that jail cell. He must have had help."

"Yeah, but who?" Sully asks.

"One of us it had to be." Henry tells him.

"Well, Jimmy wasn't anywhere near the jail and Jennifer made sure I cleared him as she gave me things to do so." Sully lets him know.

"What about Wakefield's kid? He could have done it."

"Then, he's a ghost. Cause there is no want in hell this guy slipped past us. And we know Jen didn't do it." Sully huffs.

"I locked Wakefield up. I could've slipped him the key." Henry says making Sully confused.

Sully brings up saying if this son was real that be was a wack job like his father so Henry explains he could just be really pissed about the whole thin being lied to.

"Dude. You're creeping me out." Sully stops to look back at him.

"You're right. Sorry. So you and Jennifer?" Henry changes the topic as they keep walking.

"What about it?"

"Got her to fall for your charm?" Henry shoots daggers into his head from behind.

"Turns out I didn't have to try. She said she's had a thing for me since we met. All I had to do was just be open. Why are we talking about us right now?" Sully asks confused.

"I'm just surprised seeing you two kiss. Especially her kissing you back after she said she was smart enough." Henry says so Sully glances back at him.

"She said she scared because of the type of guy I was so she can tell I've changed. Man, what we're going through has changed me and I realize some shit okay." Sully keeps walking.

top 5 beatles live performances!

Thanks for the ask!!! This one was surprisingly very tough... my responses are basically just based on how often I rewatch them lol

5. NME concert - I love the setlist with a bunch of their later 1965 stuff. And I love the little award show, they all seemed so happy (iconic John and Paul hug moment). All that good stuff.

4. Live in Australia - They were all on fire here, another great setlist with some crisp audio and visual. Highlight was the fan coming on stage to shake John's hand :)

3. Shea Stadium - An hour of good times!! Not only was the concert great but I love seeing all the crazy fans in the audience. I feel like I was there in a past life.

2. Rooftop concert (I don't have a link but really the whole thing from Get Back) - just so many emotions for obvious reasons. They all looked so good and played top notch, the commentary from everybody on the street, the policemen coming to try and stop them (and spurring Paul on)... everything!!

1. Ed Sullivan show... of course. Somehow it makes me even more emotional than the rooftop concert. Just some boys achieving their wildest dreams... wow<3

#thx again:)#ask #the beatles

Ari Lennox - age/sex/location ALBUM REVIEW

Since her fantastic 2019 debut album, Shea Butter Baby, Ari Lennox has been building expectations for her second album with an impressive feature run, appearing on songs with Wale, Lute, VanJess, Jazmine Sullivan, and others. She also stole the show on both Dreamville compilations and a week before her new album dropped, she put out an EP with 4 extra songs that didn’t make the album, which I highly recommend. With each release, whether it’s the Pho EP from 2016 or Shea Butter Baby, I feel like Ari Lennox has been building her own style and continues to improve upon it with her new album. She has built expectations and gained a lot of notoriety in the past three years and age/sex/location does not disappoint at all. To me, the biggest improvement that I noticed from the first album was the production. I think the production on this album is much stronger than the last album though I have never had any real problems with the beats. The beats are so smooth and perfectly fit Ari’s voice. The opening song, POF is a perfect example of that. I would not necessarily say that age/sex/location sounds completely different from Shea Butter Baby as they both fit within the Ari Lennox sound but this album includes songs that definitely stick out because the production is something newer for her, such as the lead single Pressure which has been out for a while. The production is a bit more uptempo but I absolutely love it; the trap drums make it feel very modern but the melody and bassline, as well as the way Ari sings on it give it a vintage feel as well. Pressure sticks out significantly because it is faster and more accessible, which is not always what Ari chooses to sing over. Outside gave off a similar vibe as it has a bit more of a bounce to it, which is refreshing considering its placement in the tracklist around a few slower songs. I love the hook on that song too. Stop By is a bit more downbeat but also combines that modern with vintage R&B sound which to me, perfectly sums up who Ari Lennox is as an artist. She exists within a new era of R&B and operates within that space of some of her contemporaries but is also heavily influenced by 90s and 2000s R&B; the song Hoodie really gives off Didn’t Cha Know vibes. I like that she has only singing features on the album and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed both the Summer Walker and Chloe Bailey features as I have not particularly enjoyed their music in the past. There was enough vocal variety in Summer’s performance and Chloe didn’t sound as breathy as she has in the past. The Chloe feature in particular was impressive as she displayed her vocal range in the song, complimenting Ari for a pretty great slow jam. Boy Bye with Lucky Daye was really the only song on this album that I didn’t like and that’s because a lot of the song consisted of them doing their little flirty skit during the song, which went on a little too long. On age/sex/location, Ari Lennox plays to her strengths while continuing to showcase her ability to make different styles of R&B inspired by both new and old eras.

Fav Tracks: Hoodie, Waste My Time, Pressure, Stop By, Outside, Queen Space
