Totally agree. I thought a lot about parallels between Beatles and John mostly and Steve. Thank you for this. thank you for collecting materials without giving any explanations. Great great work.
Although big fan of the beatles since their beginnings and an Apple geek since my first Mac SE, i never figured out the parallelism of their stories. Thank you for opening my eyes!
Surprisingly moving. I love how you shape stories in your videos. Because you have chosen to drop any spoken narration, you don't so much tell as show. Show don't tell, as they say. Very clever stuff. Bravo.
You can believe this or not, it really doesn't matter to me but I am a distant cousin of George Harrison. I was born in Missouri but my Uncle David French traced our family tree back around 1973 or '74 back to England. I was only 12 or 13 at the time and my older brother and I were Beatles fan's. My Dad was a musician and played Country Music with some big names back in the 1950's on a National TV show out of Springfield, Missouri called The Ozark Jubilee. Two of the bigger names he played with are Red Foley who he bought a 1948 Martin D-18 which was the guitar I learned to play on. The biggest name was Porter Wagoner. Porter wanted Dad to be his rythym guitar player when Porter decided to move to Nashville but Dad turned down the offer because he was afraid if Porter didn't make it he would be stuck in Nashville and quit his day job which was security. But Porter did make it and we went twice to the Grand Ol Opry, in 1972 and 1974. In 1972 when we went Dad knew the Country Music showbiz pretty well and knew after the show to go to the back entrance and the star's would come out and you could meet them. Most people who went didn't know that so there was a small crowd of about 50 people. We were right in front of the stairs that came out of the back door. When Porter and Dolly Parton came out together Dad said "Porter?" Porter immediately recognized him and they were visiting. My young eyes were on Dolly and me never being a shy one asked her for a kiss. I remember she rubbed my head and said "what a cute little boy, sure you can have a kiss." Too bad we didn't have cell phones then because she kissed me right on the lips. What's this got to do with The Beatles? Hang on, I'm getting to that. After Dad quit playing with Porter in the mid 50's he took a job in Dodge City, Kansas where he met my Mother at a music party because my Grandpa played banjo. While in Dodge he also played with Tex Ritter the actor, musician and father of the more famous actor John Ritter who my family had lunch with him, Tex and John's brother in Nashville in 1974. I grew up and played music all my life though I never got famous, I didn't try. Fast forward to 1998 when a woman who I had just married and I lived in Bella Vista, Arkansas. One cloudy day during that warm El Nino winter she wanted to go to the library. I didn't really want to go but I did. She was looking for something to read and I picked up a book about The Beatles. While reading it I saw that George's Mother's maiden name was French. I called my brother and told him "we knew from Uncle David we originally came from the U.K. and 4 French brother's settled in Missouri by way of Liverpool. I told him about George's Mom's maiden name being French and said wouldn't it be cool if we were related to a Beatle?" My brother started doing more research and took down names on grave's and found out George's sister Louise had a Beatles tribute band in Branson, Missouri called Liverpool Legends. This all took some time and unfortunately George died before my brother made contact with Louise and they agreed to meet at a show the band was doing in Tulsa, Oklahoma. With all the information my brother had when she saw him she said " you must be Don French" because she noticed the family resemblance. He gave me her number and email address and I began talking to her in 2005 and met her in Branson in 2006. She reserved a hotel room for my wife and I and she came to the room and we visited before the show and had front row center seat's. I even got on stage with the band and re- proposed to her. Gary Puckett and The Union Gap were in the audience. After the show she came back to our room with a six pack of beer and we visited for hour's. I got to know her and she told me some secret family and Beatles stories. So when she died recently I lost " me mum." When I watch these videos I know whether the stories are true or not. I still live in Northwest Arkansas and write and record original music and I almost got famous once when I recorded a demo in Nashville in 2000 and got an offer but turned it down because today's music industry is wrotten to the core. But I enjoy writing and recording and have a TH-cam channel called FlattBlaggMusic with me sending songs to my best friend in Dallas who makes our videos. We are getting ready to release a new album for the first time. Before he just made some videos to songs he liked and we only have 85 subscribers and we aren't making any money, we just do it for fun. But we haven't released anything since 2019 and decided to drop about 15 track's which will be out this summer. So no I'm not rich or famous but it's cool knowing I have a drop of Beatle blood in me and had the chance to know a little family and some real Beatle stories from as close as you can get to The Beatles. And Louise asked me to keep up this one family tradition which I still do often. ☮️♥️🎶
No Beatle blood here, but I knew Louise Harrison as well in the ‘90s. She lived in Tallevast, Florida then. (George’s mom may have been named Louise as well?) Louise was a very sweet person and concerned with environmental issues. George had donated the rights to one of his songs for her charity and she asked me to design a logo for it, though I don’t think it was ever used. Anyway I remember she was a conservationist with a big heart, and obviously extremely proud of her little brother.
@@MRatna thank you for sharing that with me Marc! I'm glad you got to know her. As you or anyone else who really knew her (not mentioning aquaintances, she had so many) you got to see the sunshine in her eyes and felt the warmth of it radiating from her heart. Yes she loved the land, of course her brother and she really meant it when she said "peace and love." Her recent passing was very sad and she passed in Sarasota. And you're right her Mother's maiden name was Louise French. That was the first clue I found in the book I mentioned which led to us meeting and I loved to listen to her talk about her life, not just George's though she was so modest and humble I had to make her talk to me about it. But I wanted to know more about the family. You can learn almost everything about George through the media. So once again thank you and my best to you Marc. ☮️♥️🎶
Well, George is of Irish heritage (he actually went to visit his cousins in Dublin the first time the Beatles played in Ireland) ... I notice your surname is also common in Ireland "French" there may be some connection there as well. Paul McCartney still has family in Ireland (a few of his cousins were guests at his wedding here in 2002 when he married Heather Mills in County Monaghan)
@@coolmacatrain9434 yes I am also of Irish heritage. I don't expect everyone to believe me. I could provide you with other family members names and contact information but why on Earth would I do that to them?
I actually think The Beatles made some of their best music after they split up. If you combine all four members best post-Beatles songs & mix them up together on some lp's, it'd be an amazing Beatles album!!
I think of most things as either a Black Sabbath song or a ... no, it's all Black Sabbath. (P.S. There's no dark side of the moon, really. As a matter of fact, it's all dark.)
Thank you for the great video! I was just researching the strange and fateful connection between the Beatles and Steve Jobs and came across this video. I am Japanese, may I upload a video with the subtitles of this video converted to Japanese on my channel to spread this fact to the Japanese people? I will paste the link to this video in the overview section.
The brilliant period of the sixties inspired brilliance in the seventies and eighties and is still inspiring people today. But optimism is not quite what it was.
The implication thatJobs thought of himself as a kind of Lennon'esque individual might be on target. However, Jobs was dead wrong if that were the case. If anything, Jobs was the opposite of Lennon, having no sense of moral obligation to artistry or music.
Firstly Zeppelin have to be one of the most boring band musically and personality wise ever, why they never really done Interviews, didn't want people to see they weren't interesting creative eccentric artists so they stayed quiet. And I love the stones nearly as much as the Beatles and I probably listen to the stones more then the Beatles now but the Beatles was my first love and there music will never be bettered and I was born 1986, Dylan is up there with them as well, just wish Dylan had a proper producer then he would of been biggest selling artist of all time and if he sang like van Morrison or something as so many people can't get past his voice, I've actually seen people laugh hearing him sing and can't believe he was allowed to make albums! To me he is one of best ever
Never cared for Jobs ! The Beatles loved Buddy Holly and the "Crickets" so they decided on a similar insect name. Steve Jobs supposedly loved the Beatles, so he "steals" their corporate name "Apple"... Um that makes him a thieving jerk in my book, with NO imagination of his own ! I don't own a single apple product.

They even ripped off Christians. Boch - Arioso song . They added an extra note to opening melody when they stole it for Hey Jude. They also cut n pasted other people's stuff. Micheal Omartain beats Beatles n even Steely Dan used him on the Aja album etc. His 70s stuff beats Pink Floyd etc n jams prog rock. I love the alive n well song. Many other great songs too. Even more mellow one get interesting in solos

Very uniquely done video. Drawing all those parallels without any narration. Excellent work.
Totally agree. I thought a lot about parallels between Beatles and John mostly and Steve.
Thank you for this. thank you for collecting materials without giving any explanations. Great great work.
It’s obvious when you look at Steve, he modeled his clothing off Lennon, the glasses and turtleneck, both Lennon looks from different periods combined
I never knew that Steve Jobs was so into the Beatles, no wonder he had so much success haha.
STEVE JOBS IS JOHN LENNON, WAKE UP! THE EVERYTHING IS THEATRE ON THE WORLD STAGE.
Just proves again John Lennon was one smart Genius. Dearly missed.
Great and original video. Brought a tear to my eye
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed

Three thumbs up! Really superb storytelling through brilliantly edited video work. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Thanks for watching!
Wonderful storytelling, thanks for creating this
Thanks for watching!
I didn't realize how much 1971 Linda McCartney looked like Ziggy Stardust
This is an incredibly well done video, 11+ minutes of telling a story without narrating a second of it, just simply compiling footage is masterful
Pretty ironic that he had a huge hand in killing the music business.
Fascinating and original concept. You earned a follow from this guy. Keep it up❤
Thanks for the support, hope you'll stick around
The very best part of this excellent video is when Sir Bongo said "I like hanging out with you." That was a killer! ❤
I actually think The Beatles made some of their best music after they split up. If you combine all four members best post-Beatles songs & mix them up together on some lp's, it'd be an amazing Beatles album!!
This is an excellent video that lets the video speak without a word of extra narration. I love it
Not that narration is a bad thing :)
Superb video, one of the best i’ve ever watched!
Great video, I can see this channel getting massive.

(with hand movements) and now, your host for this evening: the steve jobs!
Yeah as a boy who was born in 2003, the Beatles really did so much than music, they really had a huge impact humanity’s lives
Steve Jobs totally looked like Ashton Kutcher. Like identical twins.
Great video 👍🏽👍🏽✌🏽✌🏽☮️
Amazingly done. Nothing more needs to be said.
I think about it daily but I was just waiting for someone ti piece it together on videos
You did a fantastic job!

Wow that was really thougt provoking
Steve is John and John is Steve. Now she's someone else.

If Steve Jobs had been a Stone Roses fan things may have been very different
I feel like Steve Jobs names Apple (technology) because of Apple (record company)
"Coincidence? I think not!"
jobs stole the name Apple from the Beats

Stones are more real life (bad jobs, broken relationships).
