They May Be Parted

I’ve been writing about the Get Back sessions for 10 yrs, approaching it w/same attitude we’ll see in #TheBeatlesGetBack. I’m no filmmaker but am a writer/researcher & if you want to flesh it all - you should - visit theymaybeparted.com for that & beyond. It’s well-regarded!

And while you're still at it, a viewers guide to Let It Be, the Twickenham section: theymaybeparted.com/a-guide-to-let…

And while you're at it, on the importance of Let It Be: theymaybeparted.com/2024/05/07/tmb…

With so many staggered release dates, there's always a Let It Be-related anniversary in May. OTD in 1970 (May 20), Let It Be film enjoyed gala premieres in London and Liverpool. No Beatles showed up, but plenty of adjacent figures and celebrities attended. 🎥

@mwardlaw @rockhall I'll say it here, too! It was, as always, a blast to get to spend some time with you and @anniezaleski, especially in our element and in the shadow of Robbie the Robot and Back to the Egg ephemera 👐

@TheyMayBeParted @rockhall Thanks so much for reading it and sharing it out to the world! It was wonderful to see you at the exhibit over the weekend.

A good read from UCR by my friend @mwardlaw, who interviews the @rockhall's archivist who helped put together the new McCartney exhibit

@NemoNihil1664 I DID! It literally gave me chills and brought me to tears, I was so happy that reunion happened. The glances they stole naturally reminded me of these other guys who played together after a (shorter) layoff as emotions flowed

@TheyMayBeParted Hi Dan, Did you see this the other night? youtu.be/9U1sUro6Qio?si…

It's January 24, Jools Holland's birthday, and as a lifelong Squeeze superfan, I’m happy to excuse to tie together a Jools-Beatles thread, starting w/something Get Back-related, a 2005 interview w/Billy Preston (who performs, too). Some Beatles talk 🎂 youtube.com/watch?v=US0Zhl…

Happy anniversary - again - to the "the most eagerly awaited album ever issued!" Let It Be: released 56 yrs ago today (May 18, 1970) in the US, 10 days after it was first out in the UK. (It reportedly set a record with 3.7M advance orders in the US, so the claim's justified!)

@rnrdiva With the caveat that everyone’s mileage may vary, they gave us time in 30-min increments, and I was pretty satisfied. I didn’t necessary read *every* description and some items I glanced more than studied. But it worked. I also didn’t really dig much into the interactive thing

@TheyMayBeParted I'll be there next weekend. How long did it take you to go thru the whole exhibit itself? I have been to the Hall before so I am not bothered about seeing the other stuff this time.

My intention was to post in real time from last night’s opening party of the McCartney/Wings exhibit at the Rock Hall in Cleveland, but I was consumed by the content and being social, having a good time. I won’t post every detail - you should come out here, it’s amazing 👐

@Starshyne9 @rockhall Yes! I’m so happy ran into you and finally had the chance to meet 🙏

@TheyMayBeParted @rockhall It was great meeting you at the event!

At the @rockhall for the opening party of the new McCartney exhibit. Just heard “Bip Bop” playing on the sound system on my way in (now “Country Dreamer”) so it’s gonna get real.

Super night, super event, exceptional exhibit. Make it out if you can.
