From the Imagine Peace exhibit at the Museum of Liverpool - John's picture surrounded by 1000's of notes handwritten to him. It overwhelmed me with emotion. Thinking of him today with love and eternal gratitude. #JohnLennon

Bout to be wheels up en route (wheels including my knee scooter). Let’s gooooo!

Am I the only one who's always thought George looks just plain weird in this pic? Like, just off.

Oh, so you just enjoy The Beatles without assigning arbitrary, deeply emotional, and completely unstable rankings to every track? It must be nice living without passion. This promises to be a night, who are we going to see in Jersey City?

Last Beatles fest, someone told me "you can't rank the Beatles." To that gentleman I replied "oh, but I have," & in partnership with @blottobeatles.bsky.social will do it live in REAL TIME this Friday at The Fest for Beatles Fans! You don't want to miss this! *not sunday as it shows on the schedule

We could not be more excited about combining forces with @rankingthebeatles.bsky.social to bring this Ranking Master Class to the Fest for Beatles Fans this year. See you there?

Who's coming to The Fest For Beatles Fans next weekend! We can't wait! Catch my acoustic set Friday 5:30 on the Apple Jam stage/ Friday at 8:00, we're doing a LIVE PODCAST TAPING with podpals @blottobeatles.bsky.social! What better place to finally rank "Now and Then?" Let's go festin'!!! #beatles

We promise new eps are coming soon! But if you haven’t heard our collab ep with @blottobeatles.bsky.social you should!

'The Session Man: Nicky Hopkins' was released today in the US on DVD. Check it out! www.amazon.com/Session-Man-...

Alex Chilton did an interview at Jazz Fest one year where he said of Big Star “We all wanted to be the Beatles but we weren’t good enough musicians.” I think a lot of people disagree with that assessment. RIP

Yesss. Please give us a screening in New Orleans tho!

Happy Mardi Gras y'all! ❤️ Krewe of RTB

#76 - Slow Down with @blottobeatles.bsky.social is out now! Talking notorious Larrys, fab footwear, and this ripping John vocal. Out now wherever you get podcast or at rankingthebeatles.com!

About to go to work with The Walrus. Here’s tonight’s show, 2 sets. Thoughts?

PREACH IT. Wake up, Rock Hall. It's about time.

BEST? I dunno that I can quantify that. Favorite? Would take some time, but TODAY, off the cuff with disclosure that it likely changes more frequently than my fav Beatles, I'll go with: Paul - The Back Seat of My Car John - Mind Games George - Be Here Now Ringo - Back Off Boogaloo

❤️❤️❤️❤️

This was such a fun convo! @smgaillard.bsky.social is a blast to talk with, and I really enjoyed this one. Give it a listen!

Started listening to @rankingthebeatles.bsky.social last night when at work. Needed another music podcast to binge on. I always felt lost when I catch up then have to wait for new eps to drop 😂

Awards for music are inherently silly, but I’d be kidding if I said I wasn’t thrilled to see our guys win one.

A certain somebody had a birthday this past weekend!

It's the anniversary of the #beatles rooftop show! So my band The Walrus climbed up to the rooftop of @wwozneworleans.bsky.social to recreate that gig today! With a little help from our friends Susan Cowsill Josh Paxton & Alex McMurray. We hope we passed the audition! www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVr7...

Let em rip

To mark the anniversary of the rooftop concert tomorrow my band The Walrus will be playing live on the rooftop at @wwozneworleans.bsky.social tomorrow at noon CST. Tune in locally at 90.7fm, watch the live video at facebook.com/wwozneworleans, or listen online at wwoz.org!

Stay tuned for an upcoming episode of #WhyTheBeatlesMatter featuring Jonathan Pretus of @rankingthebeatles.bsky.social! I loved our conversation!

This was so much fun!!!

This ruuules

Bad news for this week’s episode, friends. 😔

It’s snowing in New Orleans. This is from maybe 2 hours ago, we’re currently about 4” deep now. Last snow was a light dusting in 2009. We’re all locked down a while 😂

Hey friends! Midas Man, the long-awaited Brian Epstein story, is coming to the US, Canada, and Mexico Jan 22nd! What better way to celebrate than with a trip to Liverpool and London?! Pre-order the movie by Jan 21st for a shot at this FAB trip! Click here to enter!! m.olyn.com/6d5eeb625c4a...

#78 Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) with Sara Schmidt is out now! Boy I goofed this one yall. But the integrity of the list remains. Sara joins us to talk Beatles fan clubs, Sitars, Rubber Soul vibes and more! Avail everywhere you get podcasts and at rankingthebeatles.com #beatles

If anyone is interested or able to donate financial aid to victims and families of victims of the New Orleans terror attack, the Greater New Orleans Foundation has set up a special relief fund. You can find out more info at linktr.ee/gnofoundation

Big ❤️ and thanks to all who checked in on us in the wake of the awful events in New Orleans yesterday. We were far away & fast asleep when it happened, and were horrified to wake up to the news. Thankfully all our family & friends are safe, incl those who had gigs that evening in that area.

"🎵Everybody had a hard year..."🎵 It's certainly been a wild year. High highs, low lows. My dad passed a few weeks ago, navigating that has been an odd journey to say the least. I'd like to thank #beatlesky & the fandom in general for being a needed regular source of light. Happy New Year, yall!
