  Paul and Linda McCartney walked past my Mum and I when I was in my cot on Hampstead Heath in 1969. They smiled at us. So as far as I’m concerned I’ve been in the presence of a Beatle while they were extant.

  In June 2022, the wife and I visited Liverpool/London for the first time.  As a fan since Ed Sullivan, the breakup, bad press, and life in-general staled my interest, but now is rejuvenated by authors like Mark.  Yes, we need the Beatles.

  At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqvUsGe1dfE&amp;t=1190">19:50</a>, when Mark was giving his comment about how the governments of various countries around the world are being run, &nbsp;&apos;Truer Words Were Never Spoken&apos;, the world needs The Beatles. They give us sunshine, they give us hope, they make us feel good, they bring a smile to our face when we hear their music or see the videos or movies.

  Really enjoyed this! I work as a Custodian at both National Trust Beatles&apos; homes here in Liverpool and just today, a visitor was talking about Mark&apos;s TUNE IN. I did meet Mark and his wife many years ago though I doubt he&apos;d recall but he is a friend of my good friend Colin! &nbsp;I do wish him the greatest of luck and hope he will bring this show up to Liverpool at least, while I understand he needs to be getting on with creating a book that can reflect the immense complexity and magic of the years 1962 to 1966 in Beatles&apos; history. It lives. People young and old are here visiting daily. Mark, we have so many small kids who are Beatles&apos; fans! There is something in the music, a warmth, that is connecting the generations&apos; to one another through the music. Thanks guys. :) I know you both - Mark and David from the Old Grey Whistle Test day and early 80s&apos; music mags.

  Reading the first volume of his Beatles bio was like being transported back to Liverpool in the 1950s and Hamburg in the early 60s!

  Thank you for this of course. Mark Ellen and David Hepworth are fine fellows for sure-and great people too. I first knew of them when they edited Smash Hits, one after the other between 1981 and 1985 roughly. I still have a lot of those issues-they have stood the test of time on music as it was then! I then later read some of Q Magazine when they were involved in that and then The Word, which was alright too. Sad to say of course that all of those are no more and closed down some years ago now. David now writes in the Radio Times though.<br>Mark Lewisohn is a fine fellow too-he used to write in the Radio Times also about all things television or radio at the time. I wrote to him I think in 1999 and I am glad to say that he sent a reply for which I was very grateful too. He also of course, as here, writes about the Beatles and other passions that I am sure he must have. Well done of course!!
