The public break up

 

July 20, 1968 -

I imagine when Beatles fans in the UK tuned into the Dee Time talk show to see Jane Asher, they did not expect to hear her say these words:   "I haven’t broken it off, but it is broken off, finished."   

I don't think anyone (except maybe Paul) expected for Jane to break up with her fiancée on a television talk show!   But you know what -- I admire her for doing it.   It was going to be all over the television once it became known anyhow, so why not take that control and put it out there first?    Then Jane never spoke to Paul McCartney again.   

 

The Beatles ring the bell everytime....

One of the first Beatle videos I owned---some unauthorized VHS had this video clip on it.   And I always thought it was extremely cheesy and at the same time I was excited to recognize the "Help!" set in the background.   It was 50 years ago today, on April 6, 1965 that the Beatles won the Radio Caroline awards
