John Lennon movie coming together

Reuters/Hollywood Reporter
Fri Aug 29, 2008

LONDON (Hollywood Reporter) - The story of John Lennon is headed for the big screen with "Nowhere Boy," which will focus on the former Beatle's troubled adolescence.

Screenwriter Matt Greenhalgh's script details the story of Lennon as a lonely teenager abandoned by his mother and raised by his authoritarian aunt. His only escape is music, art and his fateful friendship with Paul McCartney. The film will be directed by visual artist Sam Taylor-Wood, who will shoot on location in Lennon's hometown of Liverpool.

"The women in John's early life truly shaped who he became," Taylor-Wood said, "and the strengths and weaknesses of their relationships are central to this film."

Casting for the major roles "is under way," said producer Ecosse Films, which is developing the project with the U.K. Film Council.

The Beatles on Morecambe and Wise Show

Morecambe and Wise were a hugely successful British comedy duo from 1941 through to Morecambe’s death in 1984. In December 1963 The Beatles appeared on their ATV television programme Two Of A Kind.

Here is the entire 10 minute clip of The Beatles from that show. It includes fairly standard performances of three songs, This Boy, All My Loving, and I Want to Hold Your Hand. The best part of the clip though is at the end, where Morcambe and Wise banter with The Beatles, and then sing Moonlight Bay with them. This can be heard on The Beatles Anthology 1, but here you have the video.

BBC News 1999: Beatles lyrics last a lifetime

Songs by the Beatles came out top in a national poll

The Beatles' Love Me Do still rings true for music fans whereas the Spice Girls' Wannabe just doesn't make the grade.
A poll for the National Year of Reading found the lyrics by groups like The Beatles and Abba are still more popular than words written by more recent pop artists.

"The Beatles are a Shakespeare for the 20th century," said Helen Reddington, lecturer in commercial music at the University of Westminster.

The Spice Girls polled 2% of the vote
"Their appeal spans generations and their lyrics are as accessible today as they were 30 years ago to a different generation."

The Beatles gained 31% of votes in the country-wide survey for songs such as Eleanor Rigby, When I'm Sixty-Four and Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.

Abba, famous for hits such as Waterloo, Money, Money, Money and Dancing Queen polled 17%.

The project director of the National Year of Reading, Liz Attenborough, said: "This survey shows just how much people really enjoy reading and understanding good lyrics and think about the words and meaning of songs, as well as the music.

"There are some truly inspiring lyrics in songs of past and present - if you look closely at some of the most popular lyrics, they can quite justifiably be described as modern poetry."

Robbie Williams championed the cause of modern music, trailing Abba by just 1% but the Spice Girls and fellow all-girl band All Saints pulled in 2% of the vote each and Madonna had 5%.

One 1960s great who was considered a true poet but did not make it to the top was Bob Dylan, who won 10% of the vote.

Hallo !
I`ve scanned some labels for You with cover versions of Beatles songs:

Baccarola was a german cheapo- label covering mostly german Schlager. They had no great experience with english- sung titles, and the (presumably) studioband featured on this side of the single is mixing up the words a bit.

Tempo was located in Munich, Germany, also concentrating on coverversions of current hits. Many of the english numbers were made by british studiobands. These four Beatlessongs were played by "The Beat Kings". By the way, a Tempo- single did cost 3.95 Deutsche Mark, a regular one 6 DM.

Another german ep- cheapo- label was Tip. These singles had a very thin sound, but again , four songs for less money. "The Ravers" was one of easily more than fifty (!) pseudonyms of the beatband "The Tonics" from Hamburg.

Seems that "The Rockernors" on Top Hit weren`t even allowed to get a proper text of "We can work it out". Again a german cheapo.

Embassy was a british label that was sold in Woolworth-stores, from the fifties until 1965 (If You are interested, read about it at http://www.embassyrecords.co.uk/index.html ). "The Typhoons" were another bunch of different sessionmen, depending on who was handy. Making mostly good sounding records, they sold a lot of them to a lot of other cheapo- labels, for example

Juke Box. But this swedish label also featured "regular" scandinavian beatbands, as well as american soul and rhythm & blues stars, even Chubby Checker coupled with the Beatles (albeit only "My bonnie" and "The Saints" from the Polydor- aera).

Danvox sounds very danish, but the label reads "Switzerland International", and it was made in Italy...- The songs featured on the backside of the cover are all in italian language, but this one seems to be an odd exception: The a- side reads "Ob- La- Di - Ob- La- Da", the singer is male and sings in english, the b- side reads "Obladi - Oblada`", and the singer is a woman singing in italian language. And the backgroundmusic on both sides is identical...

The next three singles are of british origin:
Top 6 as well as Top Six feature six songs, with of course a very thin sound, and not mentioning the musicians. I guess these were the kind of birthday gifts from good hearted relatives, that every beatfan had to fear. I am lucky, though, they do exist.

Just the same with Top Ten. Because of the line "Aral Records" on top of the label I as sume it was given away with some litres of fuel. Note that the man responsible for the production is one Peter Sterling, who was to delighten (some of) us with songs like "Beautiful Sunday" as Daniel Boone in the seventies.

At last two "proper" beatbands, that is to say no sessionmen.
From Czechoslovakia came the Crystals, playing the Peter and Gordon- hit "World without love" on the czechoslovakian label Supraphon, three years after it`s been a hit, and a year befor the Prague Spring.

The biggest danish record company was Triola, and one of the biggest acts during the sixties was Peter Belli, starting with the beatband "Les Rivals". Here he sings "Obladi, Oblada" and "Bungalow Bill" in danish.

That`s all for now,
greetings to You -
Joe

Many many thanks once more, Joe... Very cool stuff!

George Harrison - When We Was Fab

"When We Was Fab" is a song written by George Harrison and Jeff Lynne about the days of Beatlemania, when The Beatles were sometimes referred to as the "Fab Four". The song appears as the sixth track on Harrison's 1987 album Cloud Nine and was later released as the second single from that album in January 1988. In the United Kingdom, it peaked at #25 in the UK Singles Chart, and in the United States, the song peaked at #23 in Billboard magazine's Hot 100 singles chart.

Rare Beatles single...

Odeon (4C006 04598) matrix nr: 7XCE 18433 (stamped)

This single is part of the "Golden Memories"-serie. As far as we know this is the only record in this serie. It is made in France (as marked on the label) but meant for the Belgian market.

Yellow Submarine heads for Paris

Former Beatles Sir Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison are to splash out more than £100,000 to give a Eurostar train a Yellow Submarine-style makeover.
The transformation of a train on the busy London to Paris route is to mark the autumn relaunch of the 1968 Beatles animated fantasy film of the same name.

Hundreds of metres of plastic panels will be used to cover 18 carriages of the train. These will then be decorated with 400 metres of psychedelic cartoons.

A Eurostar train will have a fantasy make-over
A spokeswoman said: "It is a very interesting and exciting venture which will see a train transformed into a Yellow Submarine travelling under the Channel."

The "submarine" is not expected to make its first cross-Channel journey until after the Merseyside debut of the film, which has been digitally-enhanced for the relaunch.

The yellow train is the latest of the group's ideas to promote the re-worked film, as well as a remix of the album that accompanied it.

Both will be the centrepieces of a special millennium tribute to the Fab Four.

The film will include scenes that were edited out of the original.

The album features new mixes of songs such as With A Little Help From My Friends and Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.

In May, the Beatles also announced the autumn release of a long-lost track, believed to be an out-take from the 1968 Abbey Road sessions for the film.

EMI Records is behind the promotional push for Yellow Submarine. The film has been unavailable on video for a decade.

The Yellow Submarine album and fillm are set for an autumn re-release
It is also the first time a Beatles album has ever been remixed, according to EMI.

The record company is also promoting tie-in merchandise and said to be considering hiring a real yellow submarine to sail up the River Mersey in Liverpool.

Also included in the millennium tribute project to the Beatles is a special concert in Liverpool.

Boyzone and Robbie Williams have been tipped to lead the concert where today's pop stars are set to perform the group's classic songs.

Hallo !

- Today I found Your site: very nice and from the heart !
I haven`t seen everything on it yet, nevertheless maybe there is something I can add.

I made some (low- fi) scans of some things I own, and perhaps You`re interested.
Or even help me with one item...

First, there are three scans of the covers of the german teen magazine "Bravo", which started in the fifties and is still the most popular of its kind today, though (or because?) it`s full of the usual rubbish like "John will leave the Beatles !!" in `65...

Then I scanned a plastic postcard from Poland. The color isn`t right, it should be far more dark red, blame it on my scanner. The titles just read "Delilah" and "Lady Madonna", and after I bought it on a flea- market, I found out that these are the original versions of the Tom Jones and Beatles hits.
Because it`s hard to see, I also scanned the left upper edge.

The next item is from Russia, a twosided very thin flexidisc with the titles "Can`t buy me love", "Maxwell`s silver hammer", "Lady Madonna" and "I should have known better"- what a mix !
This one isn`t from the sixties- at least I`ve been told so.

Next, I`ve included the original cover from their german- sung single, and also the very rare one with the mispronounced "Sie Liebt Mich", which came out first, til the company realized they were sloppily wrong.

With the last scan I hope You can help me. A friend gave me the Play Boy- EP, and I tried to find out from which country and from which year it is, but I failed.
Do You know anything about it ?
On the other side are "Je tàime"- Jane Birkin and "Honky Tonk Woman"- Rolling Stones.

So, that`s it for now, I`d be delighted to hear from You -
Greets !
Joe (Germany)

Many many thanks, Joe! And read the answer you're looking for in the comments...

John Lennon Interview: New Musical Express 3/11/66

In March of 1966, John Lennon spoke with The New Musical Express about the reason for the unexpected break from work in their otherwise busy schedules. In what would be a brief but enlightening interview, he also describes his interest in electronic music and tape loops. John shares his expectation that their next album should be very different from the Beatles output to date.
The chat took place at 'a nice little caff in Soho,' and was published in the March 11th 1966 edition of NME with the teaser 'LENNON TALKS!' on the front page. Asking the questions was Chris Hutchins.

SETTING THE SCENE:
John Lennon and I tried something unusual last week - we went to lunch. Unusual for him because he never lunches out and unusual for me because I normally eat before 3:30 pm. But then journalists have to get up earlier than Beatles do. John arrived (on time) to test the new experience and we moved away in style in the luxury of his Rolls-Royce Phantom V, surveying Mayfair from behind darkened windows that allow you to see out but no one to see in. It's something like traveling in an ambulance, but ambulances are rarely fitted with TV and fridge. The phone in the back of the car hummed: 'Can't be for me,' said John, 'No one's got the number.' We arrived at the restaurant in Regent Street and John sent the car away, asking the driver to return in 90 minutes. Only when it had gone did we discover that the restaurant, where our table was booked for 3:15, closes at 3. ''Ere, it's John Lennon,' said a woman to her friend, but before her friend had turned round we were in the back of a taxi. The driver said he knew a nice little caff in Soho and that sounded better than sandwiches and tea at NEMS (the Epstein Emporium) so off we went. The place was empty and the food smelt good, though sherry in the soup was the closest we could get to alcohol at that time of day, much to the regret of our waiter. John asked for a paper serviette as he'd forgotten a handkerchief and removed his PVC mac ('Bought it in Tahiti for fifteen bob') and the Lennon interview began.

Q: "You have often said that you don't want to be playing in a pop group when you reach 30. You are now in your 26th year. The only firm date in the Beatles' 1966 diary seems to be the NME Poll Winners Concert on May 1. Is this therefore the start of the retirement process?"

JOHN: "No. We're going to Germany, America and Japan this year. It's an accident that we're not working now. We should have just had two weeks holiday after Christmas and then started on the next film, but it isn't ready and won't be for months. We want to work and we've got plenty to do - writing songs, taping things and so on. Paul and I ought to get down to writing some songs for the new LP next week. I hope he and Jane (Asher) aren't going away or God knows when we'll be ready to record. George thought we'd written them and were all ready. That's why he came dashing back from his honeymoon and we hadn't got a thing ready. We'll have to get started. There's been too much messing 'round. But I feel we've only just finished 'Rubber Soul' and I keep looking for the reviews - then I realize we did it months ago. We're obviously not going to work harder than we want to now, but you get a bit fed up of doing nothing."

Q: "Now that you've got all the money you need and plenty of time on your hands, don't you ever get the urge to do something different?"

JOHN: "I've had one or two things up my sleeve. I was going to make recordings of some of my poetry, but I'm not high-powered. I just sort of stand there and let things happen to me. I should have finished a new book. It's supposed to be out this month but I've only done one page. I thought why should I break me back getting books out like records?

Q: "Do you ever worry that the money you have won't be enough to last your lifetime?"

JOHN: "Yes. I get fits of worrying about that. I get visions of being one of those fools who do it all in by the time they're 30. Then I imagine writing a series for the 'People' saying 'I was going to spend, spend, spend...' I thought about this a while back and decided I'd been a bit extravagant and bought too many cars, so I put the Ferrari and the Mini up for sale. Then one of the accountants said I was all right, so I got the cars back. It's the old story of never knowing how much we've got. I've tried to find out but with income tax to be deducted and the money coming in from all over the place, the sums get too complicated for me, I can't even do my times table. Every now and again the accountant clears some money of tax and puts it into my account saying: 'That's there and it's all yours but don't spend it all at once!' The thing I've learned is that if I'm spending £10,000 I say to myself: 'You've had to earn £30,000 before tax to get that.'

Q: "What sort of people are your guests at home in Weybridge?"

JOHN: "We entertain very few. (P.J.) Proby was there one night and George Martin another. I think those are the only two we've specifically said 'Come to dinner' to, and made preparations. Normally I like people to drop 'round on the off chance. It cuts out all that formal entertaining business. We've just had Ivan and Jean down for a weekend - they're old friends from Liverpool, and Pete Shotton. The fellow who runs my supermarket came round on Saturday."

Q: "Is the house at Weybridge a permanent home?"

JOHN: "No, it's not. I'm dying to move into town but I'm waiting to see how Paul gets on when he goes into his town house. If he gets by alright then I'll sell the place at Weybridge. Probably to some American who'll pay a fortune for it! I was thinking the other night though that it might not be easy to find a buyer. How do you sell somebody a pink, green and purple house? We've had purple velvet put up on the dining room walls. It sets off the old scrubbed table we eat on. Then there's the 'funny' room upstairs. I painted that all colors changing from one to another as I emptied each can of paint. How do you show somebody that when they come to look the place over? And there's the plants in the bath. I suppose I could have a flat in town but I don't want to spend another £20,000 just to have somewhere to stay overnight when I've had too much bevy to drive home."

Q: "What kind of TV programs do you watch?"

JOHN: "'The Power Game' is my favorite. I love that. And next to it 'Danger Man' and 'The Rat Catchers.' Did you see that episode the other night when that spy, the clever one, shot a nun by mistake? I love that and I was so glad it happened to the clever one."

Q: "What's going to come out of the next recording sessions?"

JOHN: "Literally anything. Electronic music, jokes... One thing's for sure - the next LP is going to be very different. We wanted to have it so that there was no space between the tracks - just continuous. But they wouldn't wear it. Paul and I are very keen on this electronic music. You make it clinking a couple of glasses together or with bleeps from the radio, then you loop the tape to repeat the noises at intervals. Some people build up whole symphonies from it. It would have been better than the background music we had for the last film. All those silly bands. Never again!"

BBC News 1999: Submarine buoys Beatles week

Submarine buoys Beatles week

Thousands of Fab Four fans are coming together for an extra special International Beatles Week.

The annual music extravaganza regularly attracts huge numbers to Liverpool, the Beatles' hometown. But this year there is added interest with the premiere of the revamped Yellow Submarine movie - the week's highlight.

The Fab Four sailing the seas of green.

The Beatles' 1968 animated fantasy adventure has been digitally remastered, along with its soundtrack, through a collaboration between Apple Corps, EMI and MGM.

In its honour, the city's traditional Mathew Street Festival has been revived and dubbed the Yellow Submarine Festival for 30 August.

Every bar, pub, club and restaurant within 500 yards - and beyond - of the street, home of the Cavern Club, will come alive to eight hours of non-stop live Beatles music and events.

The screening of the renovated film will round off a day of music at the city's Philharmonic Hall in the evening.

Star attraction.

Mike Storey from the city council said the whole of Liverpool was looking forward to the week ahead.

"We are very proud and excited to be welcoming the world to this celebration of the Beatles and their music.

"Thirty years ago, through Yellow Submarine, the Beatles sent a message of peace and love around the globe.

The evil Meanies are the villains of the film.

"Now, in the last summer of the century, Liverpool is ready to be part of relaunching that positive message through Yellow Submarine Day."

Organisers of Beatles Week say that the re-release of Yellow Submarine has increased the number of visitors for this year's event.

Hotels have been booked up for months and the day itself is expected to draw up to 200,000 into the city centre.

"When you look back to when the film was first made it was a landmark in film-making, story-telling and music," said Steve McGriskin of Liverpool's Cavern City Tours.

But even without the Yellow Submarine, the annual celebration of the Fab Four is for many fans irresistible.

Full festival agenda.

The music extravaganza kicks off in London's Covent Garden with a party at the Rock Garden. But on 26 August, the scene switches to the band's home town for six days of Beatlemania.

Tribute bands from countries including Argentina, Brazil, Norway and Poland will entertain the thousands of people that traditionally converge on the city.

Mathew Street: Centre of the festivities.

While other events this year include a Paul McCartney tribute concert at the the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA) - the Liverpool fame school he helped found.

Then 40 years of the Casbah Club in the West Derby area of Liverpool, where the Beatles held their earliest gigs before the Cavern, will be toasted with a party hosted by former Beatle Pete Best.

But the week's festivities will undoubtedly come to a head with Yellow Submarine Day.

Tickets for the premiere of the movie, which includes previously unseen footage cut from the original 1968 film, are said to be sold out.

International Beatles Week runs from 25-31 August. The movie and album are released on 14 September.

Liverpool Celebrates Beatles Day

Starting this year, Liverpool will celebrate July 10 as Beatles Day. The day marks the 44th anniversary of the band’s triumphant return home after their first American tour.
Event promoter Chas Cole explains:
“Liverpool has always been proud of The Beatles and it’s a wonderful idea to combine an annual celebration of their music with a fund-raising drive for charity.
“Beatles Day will really be about the ordinary people of this city, and hopefully in the future, cities in the UK and beyond because we want this idea to catch on, from Liverpool to London to Los Angeles.” - Chas Cole
Celebrations include (surprise surprise) lots of tribute concerts. Beatles-style mop-top wigs are on sale everywhere, with proceeds going to charities including Alder Hey Imagine Appeal and Liverpool Unites.

Paul McCartney talks about LSD

Here’s a brief video clip of Paul McCartney talking about drug use in The Beatles. He claims that John Lennon was excited by LSD, but that he himself was frightened.
The interview is followed by a promotional video of The Beatles playing Day Tripper - a song that Paul admits was written about LSD.

Beatles' Era - Oh! Calcutta!

John Lennon's participation in the stage play, Oh! Calcutta!, and some background information on the controversial production.

This notorious stage play by Kenneth Tynan featured full-frontal nudity by both sexes and sexually explicit dialogue. Tynan, who was born in 1927, was one of Britain most influential theatre critics and at one time was the literary manager of the National Theatre. His name became associated with controversy in the sixties when he became the first person ever to use the word fuck live on British television. Tynan died in 1980.

Oh! Calcutta! proved just as shocking to the public, who considered it another example of the permissive sixties. Tynan asked a number of celebrities, including John Lennon, to contribute a small sketch to the play. John wrote a skit about masturbation, based on a time in his boyhood when he would masturbate in the company of friends, during which they call out the name of movie actresses

Paul McCartney (and Barry Miles) openly discussed this group masturbation in the book, Many Years From Now:

For boys in their mid-teens, most of their sex education came from their peers: skewed anatomical knowledge, improbable dirty jokes, stories of dubious authenticity about girls they barely knew, and of course, masturbation circles. John crowd tended to meet at Nigel Whalley house in Vale Road, near Menlove Avenue. Nigel played tea-chest bass with The Quarrymen until he abandoned his instrument in the road one day while trying to escape from two Woolton teddy boys. He took on the role of managing The Quarrymen instead. His father was a chief superintendent, head of Liverpool Police A Division, whose duties meant that his teenage son was often left alone in the house at night.

Says Paul: "We used to have wanking sessions when we were young at Nigel Whalley house in Woolton. We stay overnight and we all sit in armchairs and we put all the lights out and being teenage pubescent boys, we all wank. What we used to do, someone would say 'Brigitte Bardot' 'Oooh!' That would keep everyone on par, then somebody, probably John, would say 'Winston Churchill' 'Oh, no' and it would completely ruin everyone concentration.

(John later took the experience and used it as the basis for his skit, Four In Hand, in Kenneth Tynan Oh! Calcutta! Tynan copped out and substituted the Lone Ranger for John original Winston Churchill; nor did he follow John suggestion that they should actually masturbate on stage.

Pete Shotton also mentions the group masturbation in his book, John Lennon In My Life:

"During our first year at Quarry Bank, John and I got into the habit of tossing off in the bushes on the way home from school. We also enlisted our entire gang in a few mutual masturbation sessions, giving us all the opportunity to compare sizes and shapes. Lest any reader get the wrong impression, our fantasies, at least, were strictly heterosexual.'Right, boys', someone would venture.' Who should we do it to today?' Whereupon we all take turns calling out the names of well-known sex goddesses, each name spurring us on to new heights of ecstasy as we furiously pommeled our hard-ons. John choice was almost invariably Brigitte Bardot, except on one memorable occasion when he shouted out 'Winston Churchill', instantly sending us into a fit of hysterics, which in turn rather deflated the proceedings.

Oh! Calcutta! premiered at the Eden Theatre in New York City on June 17, 1969, after thirty-nine preview performances. It began to run as revival productions in 1974 and is still performed today, making it one of the longest running plays in the history of the theatre. Still considered controversial for its nudity over thirty years after its debut in the late sixties, Oh! Calcutta! serves as a reminder of just how far the creative artists of that time were pushing the envelope in regard to morality and pervading cultural values


Following is John complete sketch from Oh! Calcutta!

FOUR IN HAND by John Lennon

Four chairs, backs to the audience. Facing them, a large projection screen divided into four sections, one for each chair. Three men impatiently waiting. A doorbell rings

1: There he is now. I told you he make it. (He opens the door.)

George enters: he wears a fedora

1: If you're going to join the group, George, you have to remember we always start on time
George: Sorry I'm late, fellas
2: We don't like people breakin' the rules, George
George: I already said I'm sorry
3: Look--We gonna talk, or we gonna jerk off?
1: Ok, let get started. This is your seat, George. Now this (pointing to screen) is a new kind of machine--a telepathic thought transmitter. Whatever you think about flashes on the screen. Now the rules of the game are this: all of us think of things to jerk off to--until somebody comes--and the first guy who comes has to stop everybody else from coming. Got it?
George: Got it
1: All right. Let give it a try. Whatever comes to mind, George

1 goes to his seat. George sits between 2 and 3. Rhythmic music starts. Images start to flash rhythmically on the screens. The men arms start to move rhythmically in front of them. The screens facing 1, 2 and 3 show Hollywood and Playboy-type pinups. George screen remains blank. The rhythm builds up while screens 1, 2 and 3 are all pulsating with glamorous women. Suddenly, we hear the strains of the William Tell Overture, and during a crash of cymbals, a picture of the Lone Ranger flashes on George screen. All screens go blank and all four men stop masturbating

3: What the fuck was that?
1: What are ya tryin' to do, George?
2 (rises, adjusting his pants): I told you not to invite outsiders
George: I'm sorry, fellas, it just the first thing that came into my mind
2: We haven't had a vacancy in six months, George! Harvey only left because he got a divorce
3: How you like a silver bullet up your ass?
1 (walking to George): You sure you're all right, George?
George: I'm fine, thanks
1: All right, let try it again

They all sit down again

1: And cut the horseshit, George

The music starts again and the images start to flash. They are slightly more nude than before--close shots of breasts and bottoms. By trial and error, the four screens begin to form a composite picture. George is dutifully collaborating. Finally, at the height of the rhythm, screen facing 1 shows a nude model head, screen facing 2 shows her breasts, screen facing 3, her legs. Pause. The recumbent image of the model is almost complete. Suddenly the strains of the William Tell Overture are heard again with another image of the Lone Ranger on George screen

George (exultantly): Aha! A-a-a-a-ah!

He rises. His screen continues to flash the Lone Ranger. With one jabbing sweep of his arm, he flashes Lone Ranger pictures on the other screens as the music builds. As each image flashes, 1, 2 and 3 lose their concentration completely and give up the contest

George (turns as he goes to exit): See you next week, fellas
1: Get the fuck outta here!!!

Sound of four whistling gunshots as each remaining screen blacks out.

The End

John and Paul
