What we posted Monday:

The July 6, '57 link has a YouTube clip with a longer version of "Puttin' on the Style." And the interview with author Mitch Axelrod ("Beatletoons") goes through several issues, including the cartoons. The pictures in the article are a real trip back in time.

It's Ringo Starr's 69th birthday July 7. Here's to you, Ringo, and best wishes for a great day.

Here's a news clip with Paul McCartney rehearsing "Got To Get You Into My Life" in England for the Halifax show and preparations in Canada for the show. Hello Magazine has a short article on the preparations with a comment from Paul.

And in this blog from the Baltimore Sun, Sam Sessa reviews Micky Dolenz's show and tells how Dolenz managed to squeeze a Beatles song in between all those Monkees songs.

And now for something completely different: Monty Python members Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin and Terry Jones, along with Python cohort Carol Cleveland, will stage a mini-reunion of sorts with "Not the Messiah (He's a Very Naughty Boy)", being staged in London and New York from late September to mid-October, reports Python Online, the Pythons' website. Rutle Neil Innes will also be involved. A Python book and TV documentary are also planned.
