Hello, eveyone. I'm not going anywhere, but you can also find me here 👇 if you like. I just set it up today.

Dear Beatle People, an important question: What Beatles or Beatles-related books would you most want to see out on the market? So many great ones with cool angles have come out the last few years and there are certainly more yet to be written. What say you? 💫

Brilliant episode. Favourite professor vibes throughout. Here's to Dr Richard Mills and Beatles academia! ✨️

Thirty years ago, a dear friend gave me Marianne Faithfull's memoir and it's not an exaggeration to say the book changed my life. Her incredible writing about the 1960s made me want to become a cultural historian about that time. Hers was an important voice. ✨️

Sad news not only for those who knew and loved Rick Buckler best, but also for the Mod community worldwide. 💔

Luddite teens! A very interesting article about youth who are not keen on the hyper-connection of smart phones and tech overall in everyday life. nytimes.com/2025/01/30/sty…

I can't think of a more iconic garage rock anthem than The Standells' "Dirty Water." Very sad to hear of Larry Tamblyn's passing today. Lucky to have seen the Standells in 2000 at The Las Vegas Grind. Hearfelt condolences to his family & friends. ❤️

Hmmmm.... so many mixed emotions about this casting. Seems the rumours from months ago were true. Probably feel most confident about Paul Mescal as he's a very good actor. What are you all thinking? 🤔

So very sorry to hear you've left us, Clem. theguardian.com/music/2025/apr…

Yoko Ono has long been abused as a homewrecker – and worse. A new biography celebrates her joyful positivity in adverse circumstances – and celebrates her as an artist. Dr Christine Feldman-Barrett Griffith University theconversation.com/yoko-ono-the-f…

The The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand kindly asked me to review David Sheff's biography of Yoko Ono. I can only recommend it. theconversation.com/yoko-ono-the-f…

Glad to know you like the article, Yoko Ono! I hope you do, too, Seán Ono Lennon. I really thought David Sheff wrote an excellent biography.

What do disco queen Thelma Houston, the Police's Andy Summers, rock icon Suzi Quatro and I all have in common? We've all been guests on the podcast Follow Your Dream with Robert Miller! ✨️followyourdreampodcast.com/episodes/chris…

Handed in the manuscript yesterday!

While it's nice that A Women's History of the Beatles is mentioned positively in this article, I am a Beatles expert - as are the women I write about in Chapter 5 of the book. The argument she makes here is mine throughout that chapter! independent.co.uk/arts-entertain…

Former Wax Trax! Records Building is now a Chicago Landmark. ✨️ So happy to hear this news. blockclubchicago.org/2025/05/22/for…
