Book Review: The Beatles: The Biography by Bob Spitz Here's an idea for a new Beatles trivia game--take the new biography, The Beatles, by Bob Spitz, and try to see how many factual errors you can find throughout the book. A group of Beatle fans have already started the game and as you can see below, our list is quite extensive. It's obvious that there was a gross lack of regard for editing and checking source material in the compilation of this book. As we began to notice glaring errors with some shock, we then began hearing from others . . . Read the full review at http://www.daytrippin.com/reviews.htm ----- John Lennon exhibit in Paris Cite' de la Musique in Paris, France says Ono lent about 90 percent of the artifacts for the exhibit "John Lennon, Unfinished Music.'' Curator Emma Lavigne says Ono has "holes in her apartment.'' Yoko Ono has torn apart her own home for the sake of a John Lennon exhibit now running in Paris. The show includes the 1966 Andy Warhol portrait of Lennon that Lavigne says normally hangs over Ono's fireplace in New York. The show features collages Lennon made for George Harrison and Paul McCartney, the original handwritten lyrics to the song "Imagine'' and the piano upon which Lennon composed most of the "Double Fantasy'' album. It also includes Beatlemania trinkets like Beatle dolls, watches, rulers, official hair pomade and Beatles panties. It also has Lennon's school report issued by the headmaster at Christmas in 1953, in which he describes Lennon as "shocking'' and notes, "There will be serious trouble ahead unless he learns to behave himself.'' The exhibit runs through June 25th.

"The Concert for Bangladesh Revisited with George Harrison and Friends" to celebrate the launch of the DVD and CD, Olivia Harrison announced The George Harrison Fund for UNICEF. The George Harrison Fund for UNICEF is a joint undertaking between the Harrison family and the U.S. Fund for UNICEF to support UNICEF programs that provide lifesaving assistance to children caught in humanitarian emergencies. In the tradition established by George Harrison and Ravi Shankar, The George Harrison Fund for UNICEF will continue to support UNICEF programs in Bangladesh while expanding its influence to include other countries in crisis where children are at risk. In emergencies, UNICEF's priority is to ensure the immediate care and protection for the most disadvantaged children: victims of war, disasters, extreme poverty, all forms of violence and exploitation. As with Bangladesh in the 1970s, many of these emergencies are still virtually ignored by the media and critically underfunded.

John Lennon and Yoko Ono appeared on The Dick Cavett Show three times. Clearly, they enjoyed their time with Cavett as these television interviews stand out as their most relaxed and in-depth. The show which aired on September 11, 1971 (taped three days prior) is noted as Lennon's first American on-camera interview post Beatles dissolution. After the taping of that show ended, John and Yoko remained on set and continued their interview with Cavett while the cameras remained rolling. These interview segments were later woven into the show which aired two weeks later, on September 24th. During their first visit with Cavett, John and Yoko promised the host they'd return to perform; they honored that promise for the show that aired May 12th, each performing one song. Includes all-new episode introductions by Dick Cavett and a featurette interview with Dick Cavett.
