A Final Tribute For Tonight

To me, at least, The Beatles were a vocal necessity of our own Human Consiousness in a great time of global strife.

Now, John and George have left us, yet I feel as though they haven't really left.

I know where they are at. So do Paul and Richard (RINGO).

I think that their YESTERDAY is our TOMORROW!

Beginning of the End...

Near their breakup, and at the height of their popularity, The Beatles recorded one of their most popular songs.

Didn't they, Jude?

It spoke of themselves in a way. In a silent yet pervasive way of saying "Goodbye" while saying "Hello".

Sorry for no music last post!

Let me try again!

Calming a Troubled World?

Even with all the social strife, The Beatles recorded some of the most comforting words of the time....

Let It Be
Lennon/McCartney

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be

And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right it front of me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer
Let it be

For though they may be parted there is
still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer
Let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be

yeah, there will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow
Let it be

I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom

Let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be

There will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be

There will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

Politics or Religion?

It didn't matter to The Beatles. They had social commentary songs for ALL SUBJECTS!

[Suppressed Sound Link]

The "Pulse of Earth"

The thing that always fascinated me about The Beatles was their ability to write and sing songs that reflected the Global Attitude at the time. As times changed, so did their music !!!

[Suppressed Sound Link]

She was something different to every guy, but the Beatles' knew how to evoke what it meant when you 'see' "just the right girl" !!!!

Yes, they Pleased "US"!

The Beatles FIRST #1 Album in the US!

The History of THE BEATLES!

(Late night readers...check your speaker volume!!!!)

Those of us in our forties today remember with fondness and excitement the atmosphere created by four young guys from Liverpool, England. As all of us remember where we were during the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, we likewise remember being transfixed in front of our small black & white television sets on February 9, 1964, when the Beatles made their first American debut on TheEdSullivanShow.

In preparation for their appearance, the CBS Television office on West-Fifty-Third Street in New York was overwhelmed by more than 50,000 requests for tickets to a studio that held 700. During their appearance, the Beatles sang five songs in the following order: All My Loving, Till There Was You, She Loves You, I Saw Her Standing There, and I Want To Hold Your Hand. On this night, seventy-three million people watched the Beatles. Their appearance had such an impact that most normal activities in America came to a standstill watching their performance. Criminal activity in most of the major cities and towns in America was put on hold, and getting a taxi or bus in New York was almost impossible, until their performance was over. Mass hysteria resulted wherever the Beatles appeared, and Beatlemania was created.

Two days later, on February 11, 1964, the Beatles sang their first concert in the United States, at the Washington Coliseum. The Beatles only came to Maryland once, when on September 13, 1964, they performed two shows at the Baltimore Civic Center (now the Baltimore Arena).

The world's number one rock group consisted of John Winston (Ono) Lennon (born 10/09/40 - died 12/08/80), whose middle name came from his parent's admiration of Winston Churchill, and which John changed to Ono in later years; James Paul McCartney (born 06/18/42); George Harold Harrison (born 02/25/43 - died 11/29/01); and Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey 07/07/40).

During the Beatles recording career from 1962 to 1970, they would release twenty-two singles (45rpm) in the United Kingdom, and thirty-three in the United States. Their first UK single was Love Me Do/P.S. I Love You, released October 5, 1962, on EMI/Parlophone Records. The first USA single would be Please Please Me/Ask Me Why, which they released on February 25, 1963 on Vee Jay Records. Although the Beatles were big in England, they had not yet caught on in the United States. Following their first USA single, came From Me To You/Thank YouGirl, which was released May 27, 1963 on Vee Jay, followed by She Loves You/I'll Get You on Swan Records. Finally on December 26, 1963, Capitol Records decided to release I Want To Hold Your Hand/I Saw Her Standing There, which went to number 1 on the Billboard Charts on January 18, 1964, and stayed there for seven weeks. As luck would have it, the Beatles first US visit planned for February 1964 with their appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show had been booked almost six months earlier. Only by accident did the Beatles I Want To Hold Your Hand happen to be at #1 the same time as their first US visit. One could not have asked for better timing. On January 30, 1964, following the success of I Want To Hold Your Hand, Vee Jay Records re released Please Please Me, only this time with From Me To You as the B-Side.

Let me make amends...

gypsyking,

Thanks for that post! For quite some time now I have invited all posters from RB to post here. I even changed the "IBOX" at the intro to this board to reflect that.

Raging Bull is just too pathetically slow anymore for anyone to waste time with. And the way they handled the changeover from WLGS to RB:UCSI then to BB:UCSI (just today) was pathetic !!! Not to mention the other neat graphic and sound capabilities IHUB offers to posters!

Alias? Catchum? Others? Why aren't you posting here?

[Suppressed Sound Link]

Yikes!

This system was given venture capital?

Isn't VDMA/DWCPS worth more than this idea?????

'Poor man's satellite network' gets off the ground
By Jonathan Sidener, Gannett News Service
CHANDLER, Ariz. ? Jerry Knoblach encounters an awkward moment every time he begins a description of his company, Space Data.
People invariably look at him as if he's lost his mind.
Space Data wants to put disposable technology on weather balloons to support a floating, wireless voice and data network over rural America.
But give the graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard Business School a few minutes to explain the economics and demographics of cell phone networks and you might start to believe the method behind his madness.
Every 12 hours, the National Weather Service launches 70 weather balloons from sites across the country. The balloons carry temperature sensors and Global Positioning Satellite equipment so the service can gather temperature data at known locations.
Space Data is negotiating with the Weather Service to hitch a ride for cell phone network repeaters on all those balloons. Space Data's electronics would include GPS equipment the Weather Service could use in exchange for providing the ride.
Space Data would then have a floating telephone network above the entire country. It's what Knoblach, the company's chief executive officer, calls a "poor man's satellite network."
Because the balloons are so much closer to Earth than even the lowest satellite systems, they require less power to receive a wireless signal and bounce it back to a ground station. The low-power system requires less-expensive equipment and lighter batteries. Each balloon would carry $300 to $400 worth of cell phone equipment weighing less than 6 pounds. Space Data would keep the 70 balloons aloft for 24 to 48 hours.
The cost of keeping a nationwide network of balloons aloft would be between $15 million and $20 million per year, Knoblach said. While that may sound like a lot, the company needs only a small piece of the $60 billion annual wireless voice and data revenue to break even.
With towers costing up to $230,000 to build, Knoblach doesn't expect land-based networks to compete in the bulk of the rural market. It would take 850 towers to cover as much ground as the repeater in one balloon, he said.
The low cost makes the disposable network possible. Space Data hopes to recover a small percentage of the balloon payloads but isn't counting on it in its business plan. The Weather Service recovers some of its equipment by placing a return postage label on the equipment so anyone who finds it can return it at no cost. Space Data plans to do the same thing.
The low power requirements give the company a chance to get its equipment off the ground.
While the deal with the Weather Service would be good for Space Data, it is not the only way the company could fly its wireless network. It could send up its own balloons if necessary, Knoblach said.
Today's cell phone companies provide coverage to 80% of the population by building their networks in areas of the densest population. Their powerful repeaters are placed atop towers.
Those networks cover about 10% of the nation's geography. As a result, 90% of the country, the sparsely populated rural area, has no wireless coverage. Space Data expects to provide coverage to all of rural America for $15 million to $20 million a year, Knoblach said. The company would then lease its network to cell phone providers so they could extend coverage.
Knoblach came up with the idea while working at Orbital Sciences, a satellite equipment company. The company made some of the components on the weather balloons. Then he worked on a project with a subsidiary to send e-mail anywhere in the world using the GPS system.
When elements of the two projects merged into the Space Data concept, Knoblach turned to two MIT friends, Eric Frische, now the company's chief technical officer, and David Wu, who is president and chief operating officer.
The fledgling company raised $1 million in angel financing in 1999. They raised an additional $1.5 million in 2000 and began test flights. Last year, the company raised $6.8 million and bought the national license for the radio spectrum for their network.
Space Data's first commercial product is expected to be two-way text messaging. The company has demonstrated the weather balloon system's ability to send and receive text messages. Those tests are being increased this year. Knoblach expects to have a system serving the Southwest by the second quarter of next year and two-way text service nationwide by the end of 2003.
Once the company has a functioning text network, it hopes to upgrade to add voice transmissions. Knoblach said text messaging is simpler. If an e-mail arrives three seconds later, it's no big deal. A three-second delay would make a conversation unintelligible.
"We're starting with text," he said. "We're taking the crawl, walk, run approach."

If I may....

By now you all know that I am a 'fun loving' guy, but I just want to share (with anyone who is interested) one of the most beautiful and powerful links on the Internet today!

Granted, a preclusion in belief in God is a prerequisite here. (or perhaps NOT!)
