Beatles Photos But Not A Beatles Post

I know i don't post much hear anymore, but lately a lot has
been going on , and i don't have a much time as i used to. 
I have a million projects on the go at one, for two reasons, 
one... i'm always looking to the next thing.... and two, i'm
trying to give myself something else to think about other then 
a bad situation, i find myself somehow caught up in.
I have been with my girlfriend (who is also a massive beatles fan)
now for 3 years and a few months. But we are actually into 
the 4th year now. I talk to her more then i do a lot of family 
members. She is a massive support for me, and i feel i can tell her
anything. And i really hope she feels the same way for me.
It's a very loving relationship, built on trust and a very strong
understanding of each other. I can honestly say we never really 
fight or argue either. So to write this down. It seems like the 
perfect long distance relationship. We don't like the distance but
we make it work. But my Girlfriend, lately, has been very down, 
and when shes down, it effects me to. I never like seeing herr 
upset. She is truly the most beautiful girl i have seen. 
But she can't see that. 
She is also strong, and brave, yet lately she doubts that. 
She has a massive heart, and because of that she is controlled. 
NOT BY ME. I'd just like to say. But she is bullied in her own 
words, by a family Member. 
Made to feel that if she doesn't learn to do the things he 
expects, then she is a failure and most of all she is scared, 
scared she will be forced to do something she doesn't want to do. 
Something she is not comfortable, with, just so he can say his 
plans for her and how her life would be worked out. 
This family member is constantly bringing up driving and getting
a job. college, and getting another boyfriend (who isn't me)
I'm not going to lie, i want her to always  be around to talk to. 
Who wouldn't shes my girlfriend right? But i know she has 
her own life to. So if SHE wanted to drive, or work at a dollar
store, then i'd support her, try and encourage her as much as i 
could.  
However when i wake up and go to sleep with messages telling 
me how scared she is she will be forced to drive or attend 
college with people she has never met before. I have to be on 
her side then again to, i have to support her feelings. 
Her feelings is she really wants to be with me, 
But she is so scared that the only chance we get to spend time
together is over a laptop screen, that her family members might 
take the internet connection away if she doesn't do as they 
order. This is a very sad and upsetting time, as i watch her 
battle to stay up, stay happy. Even though with every passing
day of being niggled at and being talk to about the same things
is slowly breaking her. I'm not liked by her dad, 
so i believe all this could be just because of me being with her, so 
of course that makes me feel terrible as i feel i am the one 
letting her be put through this. But as there is nothing a poor 
artist can do, not even buy a plane Ticket. i have to just sit back
and watch her fade, and to me that's the most saddest thing. 
But i will continue to support and love her forever. 
I love you my princess

Interview with Beatles Author 

Terri Whitney

There are a lot of books out about the Beatles. Yours, 
being poetry, is different from most. Was that something 
you set out to do?
Yes, that was exactly what I had set out to do. 
I have had two passions in my life: one being the 
Beatles, and the other was writing poetry – both 
from a very young age.  I thought by combing the
 two that maybe I could write about the Beatles in
 a way that I enjoyed, and yet would also appeal to 
any age group of fans.
How would you describe your book?
 I’d say it’s a book that will spark a lot of feelings
 and memories that the Beatles themselves gave us as 
fans. It takes you on a journey through my eyes as 
a Beatles Fan growing up with them – the people 
who were there in the beginning, my own memories, 
plus all the people who are still promoting the 
Beatles’ music. It will take readers on an emotional
 journey of their own, even those who know little 
about the band. 
If any one of the Beatles (dead or alive) read your book, 
who do you think would like it the best?
I would have to say John. I think he would appreciate the 
form of writing.
How long did it take you to write this book?
 It took me about a year and a half, between the writing 
and getting the pictures. It helped to have a couple poems
 written prior to deciding to make them into a book.
Would you ever write another poetry book? 
If so, what would it be about?
Yes, I would do another. In fact, it’s already under 
serious consideration. It would be about the top 
50 musicians that have passed away before us.  
You have a poem about having a different favorite 
Beatle at different times in your life. Is John still 
your favorite now, and if yes, why?
Yes, John is still my favorite, because in a lot of 
ways he helped me with pursuing my dreams in 
writing and living what I call a life of peace. 
He was brilliant and wise beyond his time. I was
 drawn to John during my teenage years, and it 
helped me take a look at what kind of person I
 wanted to be.
How did you first get into the Beatles?
 I was nine at the time and had the childhood 
measles. They were so bad that I had to be in 
my bedroom where it was totally dark, no light
 at all. My mom’s friend came over to play 
cards with my parents, but before they started 
he asked mom if he could come in and give me 
something. I was soon to learn he was a DJ for a
 local station, and he brought me one of the demo 
vinyl Beatles record that they had just gotten two copies 
of. He gave me the album and I still remember him 
saying, “These guys aren’t here yet but they are 
coming.” He said this band will take rock’n’roll music
 to a new level. That was the first time I heard them –
 in late fall 1963 on my vinyl record player. I didn’t mind 
being sick so much after that, and I was hooked
 from that day on.
Where can people buy your book?
 You can currently purchase the book “Any Rhyme At All” 
on my website at therockinrhymer.com. You
 can also go to my Facebook page: facebook.com/therockinrhymer
 and connect to the website as well. If you are in the Rockford,
 MI (USA) area, you can also find the book for sale 
at Kayla Rae Winery (which Paul McCartney visited 
while on tour last summer!).

I Miss George 

15 Years ago yesterday this lovely man 
left this world after a battle with cancer. 
But his smile, his music and his wonderful
spiritual lyrics live on forever. 
The quiet Beatle. 
The Spiritual Beatle. 
The Gardener. 
THE LEGEND. 
There are many post on facebook 
and on twitter. Calling him a god, 
calling him an icon. 
And i'm not going to do that. 
I don't want to imagine George or
any other beatle as a god. Because 
they are human. And Because they 
are human, we can relate to them, 
to then songs and to their work. 
We can feel close to them. 
And we can LOVE them in a more human way.
We all miss you Georgie boy.
You were taken to soon.
