Watched the Beach Boys documentary on Disney+

It was really good. They could of gone down the many

dark roads the band had but they stayed focused on

the music. Very enjoyable

Big shout out to Willie Nelson, 91 years young today (and tomorrow). Willie explains that he was born just before midnight, April 29th, but his birth was not registered until April 30th. So he gets to celebrate two days.

The Beatles just announced that the Let It Be movie has been fully restored, and will stream on Disney+ beginning May 8th.

Looks like I’m in for another month of Disney+. Hope they will do the re-release on DVD. Then I’ll have a complete set of Let It Be. 😎

[WebWiseWoman]

NO! Paul McCartney announced, not The Beatles he destroyed decades ago with his peevish jealous rhetoric...

Just another money grab for "Sir Paul". He used and abused his band mates, spouses and others...

Hopefully, just as his AI scheme fails, so will Paul's money grab with re-issue of this film.

[BeatleloverKT]

Can’t wait to see it! And fyi- Disney+ is included with Hulu, which I have 😎

Happy Birthday to Ritchie Blackmore, 79 today! 🎸

Elton John and Bernie Taupin were awarded the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. The tribute was broadcast on PBS. If you missed the show, It is streaming on PBS.org or the PBS app. 

Performers include Annie Lennox, Garth Brooks, Brandi Carlile, Joni Mitchell, Jakob Lusk, Charlie Puth, Maren Morris, Metallica, and host Billy Porter.

Elton’s band backed several artists, and Sir Elton performed three songs at the end of the show: Mona Lisas And Mad-hatters (once said it was his favorite), Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting, and Your Song.

Metallica’s Funeral For A Friend / Love Lies Bleeding was awesome, and probably the surprise of the evening.

[BeatleloverKT]

Wow- Metallica absolutely crushed this iconic Elton

tune!! Loved it!!

[BeatleloverKT]

No duo more deserving of any award they get. Sounds

like a must watch!

[MaVolta]

I corrected that to PBS.org website.
