BEATLES PILGRIMAGE?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of my friend just said that journey to Liverpool and Abbey Road is like a haj or holy pilgrimage for Beatles fan.<\/p>\n

Well, although I am not planning to get into Beatlemania kind of thing (although it’s quite tempting to try the Magical Mystery tour<\/span>), it’s hard to miss those two places. So I put them in the agenda, although Liverpool would really be a very short visit (two hours).<\/p>\n

ABBEY ROAD<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fortunately, it’s very near from our homebase tube station (Killburn).
\nSo, early in the morning, we’re going to visit the famous zebra cross<\/span>.
\nOutside the tube station, a Beatles sourvernir shop gave signal that we’re at the right stop.<\/p>\n

To my surprise, we’re not the only one who were quite silly enough to get photoed while crossing the road. And, the drivers were quite patient to let us take the picture.<\/p>\n

LIVERPOOL<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, two things dominate the theme of sourvernir shops : Beatles and Merseyside clubs (of course Liverpool is dominant).<\/p>\n

But while following the first sign showing Cavern, we decided to stop since there is no further sign where to go.<\/p>\n

Walking one block, I realised that the statues on the wall of a hotel are Beatles.
\nAnd hey, the name of the hotel is Hardaysnight Hotel.<\/span><\/p>\n

And just beside the hotel, the famous Cavern<\/span> is located where Beatles performed in their early years. And suddenly, we realised that it is Beatles zone.
\nThe statue in the shopping arcade, the shops.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

hello John!<\/p><\/div>\n

——<\/p>\n

Well, honestly, although it’s not a holy journey (I don’t have enough devotion for anything hehehehe), but it’s thrilling to be at two historical place for Beatles.<\/p>\n

And the funny thing, three big news about Beatles on our journey :<\/p>\n

1. The divorce of Paul and Heather Mills<\/span>. Expected to be one of the most expensive divorce…<\/p>\n

2. The death of Neil Aspinall,<\/span> the fifth Beatles, and Apple CEO, who were very strict on Beatles brand (one of them is the restriction to use original Beatles song in any soundtrack). He’s a very loyal to the Beatles (never publish any personal comment, except in Anthology) and lead the legal campaign against Steve Job’s Apple (and won).<\/p>\n

His death is expected to open ‘softer’ policy on Beatles brand…. started by Paul Mc Cartney initiative to sell Beatles song via iTunes.<\/p>\n

3. The use of Beatles theme in American Idol<\/span> top 12 and 11.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
