The Beatles, More Popular Than JC...


John_Lennon was born, 1940-10-9 

John_Lennon died, 1980-12-8

His home received a time marker 4 years before his death.

 Chapman, Chapman & Chapman (CCC)
"She introduced John Lennon to J.D. Salinger's novel The Catcher in the Rye while they were students in Liverpool."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Chapman
{"That sort of thing. Anyway, it must have been a bit more evocative as Margaret told John it was very good. Did he know the book 'The Catcher In The Rye' that was similar in its use of conversation where the speaker is not identified with he said - or she said?

"John had not read it, nor even heard of it. Margaret lent him her copy (never returned). She maintained that she heard John later say that 'The Catcher In The Rye' was one of his favourite books. Of course, John's killer (another M. Chapman) made his own twisted interpretation of the book."} http://www.triumphpc.com/mersey-beat/beatles/duckie.shtml

JFK and The Beatles (11-22)

"Friday 22nd November, 1963 is still remembered by many, who lived through it as the day that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. Earlier on that eventful day, Parlophone had released the Beatles’ second album."
Somehow the album With_The_Beatles & its interesting dark cover was released on 11-22. Its customary for most people to dress in black to mourn the passing of someone. Album cover concepts & overall design can start months prior to the release date. So its not like someone would say, lets have a Beatles black album cover to coincide with the death of a very media visible person. Of course the timing was uncanny & several decades later PBS would broadcast a John Lennon documentary on 11-22.

The_Dream_Academy may have subconsciously tapped into the 11-22 synchronicity.
{"In winter 1963 It felt like the world would freeze With John F. Kennedy And the Beatles."}

As John Kennedy's death for many, marked a low point in history on 11-22, John Lennon's band soared to a new high with the release of the 2nd studio_album. By the time The Beatles had arrived in North America to promote their 2nd album, NYC had a new name for its International_Airport.
Almost 4 decades later, Liverpool's International Airport was also renamed.
"Lennon joins figures like John F Kennedy (New York), Leonardo Da Vinci (Rome) and Josef Strauss (Munich) who have had airports named after them."
"2002 saw the airport being renamed in honour of John Lennon, a founding member of the Liverpudlian group the Beatles, twenty-two years after Lennon's death."

While Ed_Sullivan & Richard_Nixon shared a basic similar appearance, only Ed_Sullivan welcomed John & the rest of The Beatles.
There sure was a couple of guys named John that RM Nixon despised.
Richard_Nixon lost the presidential election to JFK in 1960 & was quite upset.
Years later, President Nixon tried to get John_Lennon deported.

11-22-1968

Its tough to say as to why PBS chose 11-22-2010, but its more synchronicity.

{"Brian Wilson produced the song, and the rest of the album. He also sang lead vocals on the song, which was written on the evening of President John Kennedy's assassination at the now-defunct Hotel El Dorado in Sacramento, California."}

Only one Beatles album cover features them all in black with a black background. While its customary for many people to wear black at a funeral, there was no apparent reason for such a dark cover. With The Beatles was released on the same day of the JFK Assassination.

Dates of Infamy & Synchronicity: Dec 7, 1941, Nov 22, 1963 & Sep 11, 2001. Some interesting reflections from songfacts.com.
{"Every generation has certain events that are 'forever' etched in their memory. They vividly remember exactly what they were doing, who they were with, and what was going on in their lives at that precise moment in history. For our parents - that event was December 7, 1941 - the day Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and the USA was thrust into World War II. For today's generation that special day was Sept. 11, 2001 - the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and UA Flight 93 going down on a lonely Pennsylvania field; but for us 'baby boomers,' the events of November 22, 1963 still haunt us and remind us that much of our 'innocence' was lost that morning on the streets of Dallas."}

Somehow Charles Manson was able to link him self to the Beach Boys & the Beatles, who all share a synchronistic connection to the #911.

Recording of the first Beatles album started on September 11, 1962.

The Beach Boys 20/20

{"Before the album commenced recording, Dennis had befriended a struggling musician named Charles Manson and decided to help him in the music industry by recording his song "Cease to Exist" for the Beach Boys, under the new title "Never Learn Not to Love". Manson explicitly told Wilson that the words were not to be altered, though he could do what he liked with the music (in the event, the basic melody was largely unchanged). When "Never Learn Not to Love" was first released by the Beach Boys as a B-side in late 1968, and credited solely to Dennis Wilson—with altered lyrics and a new bridge—Manson threatened Wilson with murder. According to Brian's collaborator Van Dyke Parks, when Manson once showed up to make good on his threat, Dennis beat him up. The Manson incident gave everyone a scare in the Beach Boys' camp—especially after his well-known crimes came to light. Some fans have also suggested that Charles Manson wrote "Be with Me", but this is likely due to a simple misunderstanding: "Never Learn Not to Love" has a line containing the words, "be with me". Furthermore, unlike "Never Learn Not to Love", the Beach Boys' "Be with Me" does not resemble any of Manson's own recordings."}
