I got a message from Rob Peters asking if he can use the Beatles photo that is on my Flickr account. Rob is running a news story about Israel's decision to lift its 43 year ban on the Beatles, and my photo would be a great addition. Of course I am very much interested in sharing it with their website which is NowPublic -- a participatory news website.so in case you don't know... Israel banned the Beatles from performing in their country in 1965 for the reason that their music would influence or corrupt the Israeli youth. and on January 28th, 2008, Israel foreign ministry issued a public apology to the Beatles. Also, the ambasador is expected to give a letter of apology to Julia Baird (John Lennon's sister) and copies will be sent to Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and to the relatives of the late George Harrison.
"Let the music speak for itself and let the ignorance of the past,be just that."
That wasn't fair, i think it was all about politics again....! Big fan pa dabi ako sang song ni John Lenon nga "jealous guy", and George Harrison's " while my guitar gently weeps"....! Kumusta ka da Marie....? =D
