tkitna — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 04:39:15

I'm sitting here pretty much p*ss destroyed. I just got a new ipod for christmas and my wife shuffled in some songs that I like. My buddy Albert is with me and we've been listening to alot of songs and we just heard 'Dear Prudence' and we wondered if anything is that good. I'm not sure this is,,,,,,,,

wait a minute,,,,,,,,,'Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters' is playing by Elton John and its a strong contender.

No, my question is, do you ever get sick of the Beatles and not listen to them for a long period of time only to be pulled back in? Its happening to me right now. I havent listenend to the Beatles in a long time and then tonight they blew mind again.

Cool group.

The Beatles references in Roman Polanski's life

1458 — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 21:20:22

I don't know if many have noticed, but I really randomly found too many Beatles references in one of the greatest and one of the phenomenal directors of all time, that it's even strange. REALLY !!! WTF ???

source: http://images.google.com/imgre.....s%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den and http://images.google.com/imgre.....1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN

so look what I found (I'm myself a big fan of Polanski's movies, such as Rosemary's Baby, Chinatown, The Pianist etc):

Roman Polanski movie,
Knife in the Water 1962

George Harrison attacked by man with knife.

All through the movie Help, Ringo Star is often chased by religious fanatics that are armed with a knife.

Susan Atkins was going to remove Sharon Tates baby with a knife.

Notes and Quotes

Sharon Tate's unborn baby, killed by the Manson family, was named Paul Richard Polanski.

Theatrical Release: Rosemary�s Baby
June 12 1968

There is no comfort in the coven of the witch Some very clever doctor went and sterilized the b**** And the only man of energy, (Manson) yes the revolution�s pride (Manson) He trained a hundred women just to kill an unborn child.
�Leonard Cohen-
�No Diamonds in the Mine�

Sharon Tate
Date of birth (location)
24 January 1943, Dallas, Texas, USA
Date of death:
9 August 1969,

Note the three 9s in this date. Inverted it becomes 666! The number of Rosemary's baby.

the evil house or the famous one, anyway:

now look at Polanski's Rosemary's Baby trailer (watch the building at the end of trailer) something remains to you isn't it? that building IS THE DAKOTA. the movie was filmed inside the dakota, but at that time, they called it "The Bramford" for the movie:

It also appears that John Lennon knew the director personally. �The Director of Rosemary�s Baby was Roman Polanski. (At a party in California in 1973, Lennon �went berserk, hurling a chair out the window, smashing mirrors, heaving a TV against the wall, and screaming nonsense about film director Roman Polanski being to blame� - Giuliano)

The Movie Rosemary�s Baby was a future template of what was going to happen to Polanski�s wife Sharon Tate. Also the songs recorded by the Beatles seem to indicate that they knew what was going to take place. I believe that songs like Helter Skelter, which Charles Manson felt he got his orders to kill from, were recorded by the Beatles for that express purpose.

1968 excursion to India, and John Lennon of The Beatles wrote 'Dear Prudence' for Mia Farrow's younger sister. Mia Farrow is the main/lead actress in Rosemarry's Baby. plus Sharon Tate's (Polanski's late wife) dog's name was 'prudence' too:

Beatles often stayed at Tate residence (?)

okay, before you will read it, you should know that Sharon Tate was killed in that house by Charles Manson's group called "Helter Skelter.

In the famous 1970 Rolling Stone interview, Lennon suggested that he, George Harrison and Ringo Starr took their second LSD trip at Doris Day�s house in California while touring with the Beatles. He may have been referring, unwittingly, to 10050 Cielo Drive, Bel Air, Los Angeles, California, the house where Sharon Tate and four others were murdered. As previously stated, Doris Day�s son, Terry Melcher, had allowed Roman Polankski and his wife, Sharon Tate, to take over his unexpired lease about six months prior to the murders.57 Here is what Lennon said about his first and second experiences with LSD:

A dentist in London�laid it [first LSD pills] on George, me and our wives [Cynthia Powell Lennon and Patty Boyd Harrison] without telling us at a dinner party at his house [in London]� And then, well, we just decided to take it again in California�We were on tour, in one of those houses, like Doris Day�s house or wherever it was we used to stay. And the three of us took it. Ringo, George and I. I think maybe Neil [Aspinall, a roadie]. And a couple of the Byrds�[David] Crosby and the other guy, who used to be the leader�[Roger] McGuinn. I think they came round, I�m not sure, on a few trips.58

Lennon�s memory of his second LSD trip was a bit fussy, but he mentioned some interesting people and places: Doris Day�s house, the Byrds. Earlier I mentioned that Terry Melcher produced the Byrds� first two albums. As stated before, Melcher�s mother is Doris Day. Sharon Tate and her four companions were killed at a house in LA where Melcher had lived six months earlier. It might have been owned by Melcher�s mom, or maybe Lennon knew she was connected with the house somehow, so he referred to it as Doris Day�s house. Not only does Lennon unwittingly suggest that he and two other Beatles�George and Ringo�took their second acid trip in the house where Sharon Tate was murdered, he further intimates that the Beatles stayed at that house quite often while touring California. Here is the key statement again: "We were on tour, in one of those houses, like Doris Day�s house or wherever it was we used to stay." The words "wherever it was we used to stay" describe a place the Beatles stayed at frequently while on tour.

okay besides this, Polanski was in Ringo's The Magic Christian as EXTRA:

who knows, maybe Roman and Ringo were even friends ?

"A Hard Day's Night" Beatles head shot photographs

Penny Lane — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 04:25:06

This is something I've wanted to ask for a long time. Does anyone have all of the photographs (outtakes, rare pics, etc.) from the "A Hard Day's Night" B&W head shots? I believe they were all taken by Robert Freeman. I do have a Beatles book by him, but he only published the "AHDN" head shots we've seen a million times before from the album and movie posters. I'm sure there has to be more. Plus, there are all those photographs that run during the end credits of "AHDN," and I'm not sure where to find most of those (unless they're featured in the ad posters too).

In addition to the album and movie poster pics, I also have these:

(Well, I think some of these were officially published for "AHDN", but not all.)

If I could get any leads on where to find more or all of these head shots, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!
