The official video for The Beatles’ “I'm Only Sleeping,” directed by Em Cooper.
Artist and director Em Cooper explored the space between dreaming and wakefulness, working on an animation rostrum on sheets of celluloid. She painted every frame individually in oil-paint, a labourious process which took many months.

When the Beatles Refused to Play Before Segregated Audiences on Their First U.S. Tour (1964)

https://www.openculture.com/2020/06/when-the-beatles-refused-to-play-before-segregated-audiences-on-their-first-u-s-tour-1964.html

In 1964, at the height of Beatlemania, the band was booked to play Florida’s Gator Bowl in Jacksonville just after a devastating hurricane and months after the introduction of the Civil Rights Act into Congressional deliberations. Major political shifts were happening in the country and would have happened with or without the Beatles taking a stand for integration.

But they took a stand nonetheless and used their celebrity power to show how meaningless the system of Apartheid in the South actually was. It could, in fact, be annulled by fiat should a group with as much leverage as the Fab Four refuse to play along.

One more from Playing for Change while I’m still enjoying the release of a new tune with John Paul Jones (of Led Zeppelin) doing an old standard about a flood. which he and the band covered on Led Zeppelin IV.

So the algorithm gods of YouTube - bad Google! - seem to weight my recent viewing of the new release. Here’s what they dealt me now: The Weight is Over.

The Weight

Robbie Robertson (from The Band) and some rhythm from Ringo (from The Beatles).
With some great musicians from all around the planet. #PlayingForChange

Happy Sun day /eve
