...everyone is famous. But anyone who sees and hears Love can fall in it. The night after Martin graced the show with his presence, the audience filed out after the final number - "All You Need Is Love," with four large screens displaying photo and film collages of the actual Fab Four - but one man seemed rooted to his seat. A thin fellow of about 60, with long gray hair that pony-tailed down his back, he held his head in his hands, his shoulders lurching as he sobbed softly. Such is the power of the Beatles' music, their impact, their...
...Fab Four were together for only eight years, from 1962, when Ringo joined the band, to early 1970, when "Get Back" was released. Eight years. That's less time than Britney Spears has been doing ... whatever she does, and less than a quarter of the time the Beatles have been apart...
...Liverpool lightens up, and Britain brightens, when Beatlemania breaks loose in the early '60s. Guys in leather jackets and girls in plaid jumpers cavort around a Volkswagen car (a Beetle, what else?). The Fab Four, caged by their superstardom, are seen in silhouette, trying to escape from spotlight bubbles; then they walk off, duplicating the Abbey Road cover amble - cute.

...Nothing and Will It Go Round in Circles? Yet to such peers as Bob Dylan and the Beatles, the gregarious, gospel-influenced virtuoso, who also wrote You Are So Beautiful for Joe Cocker, was the most coveted session player of his era. Preston--who George Harrison said kept the Fab Four together on their final, tumultuous recording, Let It Be--famously accompanied them in their last concert, in 1969 on a London rooftop. He also received a rare honor on Get Back-the "fifth Beatle" was credited ("the Beatles with Billy Preston"), the only time a sideman for the band...
...Fab Four Suture Stereolab (Too Pure/Beggars) Stereolab is getting old. Not in a fully bad way, but in the way that anything middle-aged becomes a little more predictable and a little less exciting. “Fab Four Suture,” the band’s latest release, culls together a year or so of music, previously released only on vinyl, and packs it into a single album, available, depending on your level of connoisseurship, as a CD, a limited edition double 10”, or a triple 7”. Variety’s great...
