Venezuela Remembers John Lennon!

Venezuala Remembers John Lennon’s “Give Peace a Chance”! (8.12.2025)

He was a great musician and poet who managed to channel an entire youth that cried out: “Peace, peace, peace!”. His spirituality and his gift of being a good person maintain an immense and powerful relevance.

His legacy is an anthem for all eras and generations. We have the right to imagine a world of peace and happiness for everyone. The strength of his thought motivates us to continue fighting with dignity.

Let’s look for the lyrics of “Imagine”! In them lies the dream of a world without divisions or wars, a world that is possible. Long live the eternal memory of John Lennon!

The Beatles: Revolver Super Deluxe 5 CD Box-Set! (11.6.2025)

This is a new stereo mix, sourced directly from the original four-track master tapes. The technology has produced a stunning clarity of sound – with the help of cutting edge “de-mixing” technology developed by Peter Jackson’s WingNut Films Productions Ltd. Included is the GRAMMY Award-winning original album artwork created by Klaus Voormann, the Super Deluxe CD and vinyl house a beautiful book featuring Paul McCartney’s Foreword, an introduction by Giles Martin, an essay by Questlove, and insightful chapters by Kevin Howlett. I read somewhere that Peter Jackson wanted specifically to use the technology he developed to update and synchronise the sound-tracks to all his Lord of the Rings films. As these films were produced well-over a decade and years a part – the technology improved as they filmed. Now, the older sound-tracks can be brought into line with the latest – increasing the quality and viewing experience. Peter Jackson was adamant that he only wanted to work on “Revolver”. Listening to the original “mono” proves just how spectacular The Beatles actually were. By comparison, “stereo” seems lazy!

The Best Beatles Drummer!

The Beatles: Original Drummer – Mr Pete Best – Announces Retirement! (9.4.2025)

Of course, Ringo Starr was temporarily replaced (when ill) whilst The Beatles were on tour – so obviously he wasn’t irreplaceable. Perhaps it just goes to show the greed and desperation that drives predatory capitalism. Still, once CD – and then streaming – developed, Pete Best’s substantial (foundational) contribution was finally recognised via a huge (and well-deserved) pay-out from The Beatles millions – or should I say billions! You can now listen to Pete Best’s drumming as part of The Beatles’ legitimate historical development. Pete Best demonstrated remarkable character having to live through the unbelievable success of the group he helped form – having to watch from the side-line – as the world went made! Still, Pete Best eventually received his financial reward when The Beatles Anthology was released 1995.

Calibration Hits “57” So It’s Time To Excuse My Little Self-Indulgence….! (30.5.2024)

My academic (and Ch’an) teacher – Richard Hunn (Upasaka Wen Shu) – lived into his 57th year and was struck-down by cancer far too early (passing in 2006)! I suspect I will last a few years yet – but we never can tell! Still, I rise early to perform my academic and spiritual duties. Although now married with children – I have permission to still wear the black-robe of the Caodong Ch’an School – and to carry the Dust-Whisk of Authority. Of course, the only authority I possess is over my own mind and body. Oh, and I love The Beatles!

Dr Who - 1963

The Beatles: “I Nearly Died!” – the Trials and Tribulations of Ncuti Gatwa! (13.5.2024)

North Korea has done nothing and yet the US militarily terrorises its borders (and passes fallacious “Sanctions” at the UN) – whilst the same US provides Zionist Israel with the weapons it requires to commit genocide in Palestine! Part of the infiltration and invasion of our country (Britain) has been facilitated by the internet. US anti-intellectual has caused a world-wide wave of racist disinformation that has deliberately painted Russia as the enemy – the country that won WWII for us! The last thing we should be doing is “selling” our beloved “Dr Who” to these malignant morons! We need to free our country from ALL American influence! More people like Ncuti Gatwa and less people like White Americans!

The Beatles: Everyday Chemistry Album [Parallel Universe]! (17.12.2023)

The recording and arrangement are of an absolute and impressive quality – but we must avoid the trap of US anti-intellectual, stupidity, and inverse perception of reality. This is a remix of the work of the individual Beatles post-breakup – but with the finished content ascribed to an earlier – “pre-breakup” period – where The Beatles were still performing together. All the “parallel universe” nonsense is simply modern American story-telling. The Beatles were NOT American – But “British”. The British remain unafraid of open spaces and tend not to over-react to unknown or unexpected circumstance. The Beatles would have played with equal authority in this world or the next!
