New on the blog: The Beatles’ rise wasn’t destiny—it was a messy chain of accidents, near-misses, and late-night grit. From Hamburg dives to Decca rejection, here’s how they barely made it, 1960–1963. It didn’t feel like a legend at the time—it felt like survival. beatles60.group/blog/happeni...

20 February 1965, The Fabs recorded ‘That Means a Lot’ for Help!, but didn’t dig the results. Lennon later admitted, “We made a hash of it.” On 22 February, they flew to the Bahamas for filming. After a presser, they settled at the Balmoral Club and later took a midnight swim. youtu.be/PzY0o9oOVlc

Trump’s response will be repression. The U.S. is losing its global soft power as youth reject American culture. Cities will erupt, police and militias will crack down, and authoritarianism will rise. The world is watching—but moving on. open.substack.com/pub/wrence/p...
