50 years since Beatles first single …

It is 50 years since The Beatles released their first single – a moment that changed the music world forever.

Half a century ago, the mop-top Liverpudlians stormed onto the world stage with Love Me Do, and love them they did. The Beatles became not just a band but a phenomenon.

This is my favorite song and video clip.

Betty White …

Like so many other people I love Betty White. I know it is strange for a guy but I would watch The Golden Girls just for her humour.

I was sent the link to this YouTube video by email and loved it so much just had to share. Remember she is ninety years old.

I have always enjoyed any movie Morgan Freeman is in also.

Watch this one on her Facebook comments as well it is so funny.

.
See my previous post just love her quotes. I hope you took the time to watch some of the other clips in YouTube she certainly brightens my day.

The red sea of people

I just had to share this. Most certainly something you will not see often.

“The colourful scenes were the handiwork of American photographer Spencer Tunick.
For his latest creation the 45-year-old filled the German city’s Max-Joseph Platz with 1,700 nude volunteers, bringing to life his interpretation of scenes from Richard Wagner’s opera Der Ring des Nibelungen.”

One Direction

I was down the shops today and a friend said I like your Blog ” Bear Tales”. He really enjoyed the jokes and followed it to have a chuckle each day. He is a younger guy who then suggested that I might get with it and keep up with what is trending with younger people. I asked what was trending at the moment. He said One Direction a British all boy group that was really topping the charts. Ah I said like me in my late teens who thought that the Beach Boys were the greatest thing on earth, that was until the Beatles came on the scene. Determined not to be like my father who would not even consider the Beatles as having any talent at all I decided that I would have a look at what One Direction was all about and listen to some of their music.

This is part of what I found on Wikipedia:

“One Direction are a British-Irish boy band consisting of members Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. They signed to Simon Cowell’s record label Syco Records after being formed and placing third in the seventh series of The X Factor. They later signed in North America to Columbia Records.

One Direction’s debut single, “What Makes You Beautiful“, was released in September 2011 and peaked at number one in the UK and charted in the top ten in several international markets. Their debut album, Up All Night, followed in November 2011, and debuted at number two on the UK Albums Chart, with the highest sales for number two album in 2011, and became the fastest-selling debut album on the UK Albums Chart of 2011. On 21 March 2012, Up All Night debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200, making One Direction the first UK group in history to debut at number one with their first album.

On 21 February 2012, “What Makes You Beautiful” won the award for Best British Single at the 2012 BRIT Awards (Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).

Search of YouTube revealed many video clips this is one:

Do I think that they will be remembered like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Beach Boys, Roy Orbinson etc. who were trending when I was younger after the same period of time. No sorry but yet they are only young and may develop further. Their songs are enjoyable but does anyone remember the Bay City Rollers. I bet that asking a sixteen year old do they know who the Beatles are, they would. In fifty years time ask a sixteen year old who One Direction is will they?

Does it really matter? One Direction are in the entertainment business and apparently young people are entertained and enjoying themselves.
