That gives me an idea.
To be fair - it might be a rubbish ideaâŠ

â But three decades before, the Beatles had tried to get a âLord of the Ringsâ film off the ground. After playing themselves in âA Hard Dayâs Nightâ and âHelp!,â the Fab Four was ready to play fictional characters. Apple Films executive Denis OâDell spearheaded the hunt for material, and Lennon reportedly loved the idea of âRings.â Lennon would play Gollum, Paul McCartney would play Frodo, George Harrison would be Gandalf and Ringo Starr would play Sam.
Stanley Kubrick, fresh off âDr. Strangelove,â was approached to direct, while the Beatles would provide the music. Kubrick said no â he considered it âunfilmableâ and, more importantly, Tolkien turned them down. Other directors who were considered included Michelangelo Antonioni, David Lean and Richard Lester. Kubrick went on to make â2001: A Space Odyssey,â and the Beatles turned to animation with âYellow Submarine.ââ
⊠of course the actual Beatles had almost nothing to do with the YS movie besides licensing themselves to it ![]()

Worse yet, my alarm clock automatically switches.
They sound like a fun bunch of guysâŠ
So thatâs where they got it.

Ironic, since most of us now associate Apple with a computer companyâŠ

Dr. Peter Beter
The debut album Only Lovers Left Alive was released, the title taken from the novel by Dave Wallis. The concept album tells the story of far-right conspiracy theorist Peter Beter (who allegedly provided secret information on tapes) from the perspective of a teenager who wants to fight âthe systemâ only to ultimately succumb to it.
