The Beatles new single on 17:18 - Nov 3 by RadioOrwell
That's embarrassing. I hope young people don't watch this and think to themselves - OMG is that what all the fuss is all about.
There is a time and place for all of this. The Beatles had their moment and it was outstanding. Not now. The song is awful and I can't imaging it would get on to any of their records. The video itself is laughable - in a bad way.
It's an indulgent memorial by old folks for old folks. It doesn't belong anywhere near contemporary music. It's bad ELO and they were already bad.
I'm old and completely understand the place the Beatles take in popular culture. This doesn't add anything. It detracts from every wonderful thing that have done.
Indulgent?
Absolutely.
That's what makes it great.
It's the f@cking Beatles for f@cks sake.
I think they've earned that.
No?
Distortion becomes somehow pure in its wildness.

I think Paul has done his old mate proud. To turn this demo
into a finished piece of music is quite remarkable.
Ok, it's not going to compare with the group at their peak. But I think it's very moving in the context that John was murdered a year after recording the demo, George is no longer with us and I doubt very much that we will have either Paul or Ringo much longer.
So just as 'The End' on Abbey Road was a great way for 4 men in their twenties to sign off on their time being in the biggest and most influential band in history, 'Now and Then' is a lovely way for two men in their eighties to work one more time on music with their departed bandmates.
In that context, it's very emotional.
I had the privilege of meeting Richard many times, and Paul once in a hotel in LA.
I have to say that in the conversation i had with Paul, I found him to be engaging and extremely humble.
He used to live in Heather Road Los Angeles, the house is coincidentally now for sale!
Last time I saw Paul was in a private club in LA. I was going home at around midnight, and he was just arriving!
Hopefully neither Paul or Richard are going anywhere else soon, they both still seem to know how to lead life to the full!
I loved the song, found it very moving given the context
