My friend, Michael Trent told me that last Thursday, July 6th, marked the 60th anniversary of the day that John Lennon and Paul McCartney met each other. I’ve always wondered what this world would be like if those two never met and The Beatles never happened. They really changed our society, music and the ‘60’s for sure. In honor of this anniversary, I’ve got six links below about that fateful meeting and the photo below is of John Lennon and his band, The Quarrymen from the day of that meeting took place. And then below all of that are the coming attractions for the upcoming week on MBIP. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
