ROME - The eight December thirty years ago, Mark Chapman killed John Lennon, a few steps from the Dakota Building, his residence in New York (and 'around the building in which Polanski' 'Rosemary's Baby'). The fortieth anniversary falls on December 30 instead of the dissolution of the Beatles. Anniversaries which only serve to reaffirm a incontrovertible fact: John Lennon and the Beatles remain one of the most striking phenomena of popular history. The recent demonstration of yet another, coming from iTunes, where, after years of waste, from 16 November is available on the Fab Four's catalog.
(the place where John Lennon was killed)
More than 450 000 albums downloaded (as is required ' Abbey Road ') and more than two million downloads of individual songs (the most popular' Here Come the Sun 'which is' Abbey Road'). Figures that no one today comes in the music world. And they are numbers that fanno ancora più impressione se si pensa al fatto che a settembre dell'anno scorso...
sono stati ripubblicati gli album in studio dei Beatles in versione rimasterizzata e digitalizzata e che, proprio come accadeva negli anni d'oro, questi titoli avevano monopolizzato le classifiche di mezzo mondo.
Per non dire poi della recente pubblicazione rimasterizzata e digitalizzata dell'opera omnia di John Lennon solista. Un fenomeno che non ha riscontri e che evidentemente, anche grazie alle nuove tecnologie e all'accordo con "Rock Band", sta contagiando le nuove generazioni. I Beatles sono stati insieme più o meno sette anni e dal vivo hanno suonato poco. Ma hanno cambiato il mondo. Lo scioglimento took place in a sea of \u200b\u200bbitterness: John and Paul can not stand most (Lennon called 'silly', stupid, the songs of McCartney), George Harrison, the humorist of the group, claiming more space for his compositions but in the end sided with Lennon, and Ringo was increasingly frustrated by the minor role he had been confined.
many, and for a long time, Lennon was considered the true genius of the group, an ungenerous proceedings against Paul. Surely it was the most unconventional and rebellious character, one who turned to the audience as the theater where the Beatles celebrated the title of barons''in the public gallery can applaud, the audience in the face rattle her jewelry.'' John was a natural leader, finished in the sights of 'FBI for its antiwar activism and its proximity to radical movements, a man who, to escape the conventions and not remain trapped in the role of the pop star, had the courage to dismantle the most important pop group in history.
on John Lennon and the Beatles literature there is a boundless, from this point of view of the Fab Four are unmatched. No one has ever managed to explain in rational terms an incredible dish that brought four guys are not particularly well educated and technically gifted to move within seven years from 'Love Me Do' to recordings that changed the history of music and recording techniques forever changing the value and perception of pop music. To coincide with these anniversaries also published in Italy 'Nowhere Boy', a film by Sam Taylor Wood said that the difficult years of adolescence Lennon, raised by his strict Aunt Mimi that (regret it bitterly) had contributed to drift away from John and family from his mother, Julia. What happened in the years to come, after meeting with his contemporary Paul McCartney, is a familiar story.
