...Here's the definitive Beatles reunion: of the group (heard working, playing and joking in the studio); of its prime collaborator, George Martin; and of the original Beatlemaniacs. Forty years after John said the Beatles were "more popular than Jesus," 40 summers after the release of Revolver, these one-time-teen fans are now their grandparents' age and - if they make the trip to the appropriately named Mirage, and if the gray-haired hippie in the bleachers is any indication - moist in reverie...
...Apparently the great man wasn't too enthusiastic about the idea, but relented after speaking to his son, Timothy Jacob Jensen. "He did find that it was a bit foolish going all the way to a studio just to record his knock, and asked if it really mattered who was knocking on the door," says Jensen Jr., who is responsible for the day-to-day management of the design business that bears the family name.

I tolerated audiences who would ask whether there was tap water in India and how come I spoke such good English. Later, raising money for Mississippi Masala, starring Denzel Washington, a studio head asked me to "make room for a white protagonist." Back home, my films were also alternative. They were the opposite of Bollywood, and I was an outsider.
