Before sitting down to do the research on Ringo’s “Photograph,” I’d been wondering about that. As it turns out, we actually know the answer: Lennon was proud. He was happy. Ringo Starr As Fred Bronson points out in his extremely valuable and well-researched Billboard Book Of Number 1 Hits, Lennon addressed the Ringo question in a 1975 interview on Tom Snyder’s late-night talk show Tomorrow.

It took decades to sell one million copies of any country music record. That record -- Wanted! The Outlaws-- spawned a revolutionary new subgenre, "outlaw country." Willie Nelson & Waylon Jennings Even with all the big honky tonk heroes of the country world, no solo artist found a way to sell one million albums. Hank Williams couldn't do it. Merle Haggard couldn't do it. Even Willie Nelson, whose 1975 concept album Red Headed Stranger shattered notions of what country music could be, couldn't do it. But in the early 1970s, artists like Nelson and Waylon Jennings left the "Nashville Sound" in the dust. Down in Austin, Texas, the pair cooked up something far hairier.

In 1979, Streisand was a reliable hit-maker and also one of the biggest movie stars in the world. Donna Summer, meanwhile, was coming off of a dominant year, releasing the massively successful double album Bad Girls. Donna Summers & Barbra Steisand Streisand and Summer were two of the biggest pop stars of the moment. When they got together, people paid attention. Once Barbra Streisand showed that she could sing a disco song, something like “No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)” was probably inevitable. Read more: Stereogum Killer Queen Queen

“tell my half brother that i will have my throne or i will have his head” —— (book) queen rhaenyra targaryen i commissioned from the brilliant @/yanan_art 👑❤️
Cast from the movie, "The Mists of Avalon" Years ago, I read the book The Mists of Avalon, which forever changed my life! The story is told from Morgan Le Fey's point of view, and it deliciously weaves (historical and fantasy) layers and decades of deception, love triangles, war, all with the underlying battle between Druid and Christian. There are few places on earth that can stir my imagination and my fairy-tale, romantic notions more than Tintagel Castle. Set on the rugged coast of North Cornwall, England, Tintagel is steeped in mystery and legend; with a history dating back to the Roman occupation of England. The castle is reported to be the site of the conception of King Arthur; and below the castle lies the great magician's cave of Merlin, which can be accessible at low tide. TINTAGEL CASTLE HISTORY "Even before Richard, Earl of Cornwall, built his castle, Tintagel had come to be associated with the conception of King Arthur. During the summer months, a story-teller is often on hand to bring the legends of King Arthur, Guinevere and Lancelot to life. In the bleak mid-winter, Tintagel is a place that inspires the imagination of writers and poets. It's a place of dreams, romance and legend. In June 1998, excavations were undertaken under the direction of Professor Chris Morris of the University of Glasgow, on a relatively sheltered and small site on the eastern side of the island, first excavated in the 1930s. Pottery from the 5th and 6th centuries was found, as well as some fine glass fragments believed to be from 6th- or 7th-century Málaga. Even more remarkable was a 1,500-year-old piece of slate on which remain two Latin inscriptions. The second inscription reads: ‘Artognou, father of a descendant of Coll, has had [this] made.’ Who exactly Artognou was continues to be a subject for lively speculation." Tintagel Castle is set on a dramatic and picturesque headland that is virtually an island, connected to the mainland by a slim finger of land. Over the centuries much of Tintagel castle has fallen into the sea and very little remains today." TINTAGEL "Tintagel Castle is famous for its association with the legend of King Arthur, who was said to be born on Tintagel Island where the remains of the 13th century Castle stand today. With its spectacular location on one of England's most dramatic coastlines, It is an awe-inspiring place to visit and soak up the atmosphere generated by the dramatic views and wonderful legends. Below the castle on the Castle Beach is Merlin’s cave which is accessible at low tide. Merlin's Cave The coastline around Tintagel is significant because it is composed of old Devonian slate; about a mile southwards from Tintagel towards Treknow the coastline was quarried extensively for this hard-wearing roofing surface. The turquoise green water around this coast is caused by the slate/sand around Tintagel which contains elements of copper: strong sunlight turns the water a light turquoise green color in warm weather. The Castle was built by Reginald, Earl of Cornwall on Tintagel Head, where according to Cornish legends the ancient Kings of Cornwall held their court. Tintagel castle was built for propaganda purposes and had no real strategic value. Stained glass window in St Mary's Church, Wales, containing the image of Geoffrey of Monmouth. It was claimed by Geoffrey of Monmouth in the 12th century that the castle at Tintagel Head was where King Uther Pendragon seduced Queen Igraine of Cornwall, while her husband, Gorlois, was under siege elsewhere. King Arthur was thus conceived and later writers made the castle his birthplace." King Uther, Lady Igraine and Corlois TINTAGEL CASTLE - CORNWALL "Tintagel Castle stands on windswept cliffs in North Cornwall on one of England’s most dramatic coastlines. The Castle is believed to be the birthplace of King Arthur who, as legend has it, was protected from the evil magician Merlin by his magical sword, Excalibur. Tintagel Castle is an awe-inspiring place to visit and soak up the atmosphere generated by the dramatic views and wonderful legends. Today, the remains of Tintagel castle stand on rugged cliffs high above the sea. Many claim that Tintagel is one of the most romantic places in the UK, with beautiful walks along the Cornish Coast."

Poster Op deze poster zie je de lead zanger van Queen in een WPAP stijl. Queen is een Britse rockband die in 1970 in Londen werd opgericht. Hun klassieke bezetting was Freddie Mercury (leadzang, piano), Brian May (gitaar, zang), Roger Taylor (drums, zang) en John Deacon (bas). Hun vroegste werken werden beïnvloed door progressieve rock, hardrock en heavy metal, maar de band waagde zich geleidelijk aan meer conventionele en radiovriendelijke werken door het opnemen van andere stijlen, zoals arena rock en poprock. Voor de oprichting van Queen, May en Taylor speelden ze samen in de band Smile. Mercury was een fan van Smile en moedigde hen aan om te experimenteren met meer uitgebreide podium- en opnametechnieken. Hij trad toe in 1970 en stelde de naam “Queen” voor. Deacon werd gerekruteerd in februari 1971, voordat de band hun gelijknamige debuutalbum in 1973 uitbracht. Queen kwam voor het eerst in beeld in de UK met hun tweede album, Queen II, in 1974. Sheer Heart Attack later dat jaar en A Night at the Opera in 1975 brachten hen internationaal succes. Op het laatste album stond “Bohemian Rhapsody”, dat negen weken lang op nummer één in het Verenigd Koninkrijk bleef en bijdroeg aan de popularisering van het muziekvideoformaat. Het album News of the World uit 1977 van de band bevatte “We Will Rock You” en “We Are the Champions”, die bij sportevenementen tot volksliederen zijn verworden. In het begin van de jaren tachtig was Queen een van de grootste stadionrockbands ter wereld. “Another One Bites the Dust” van The Game (1980) werd hun best verkochte single, terwijl hun compilatiealbum Greatest Hits uit 1981 het best verkochte album is in het Verenigd Koninkrijk en acht keer platina is gecertificeerd in de VS. Hun optreden tijdens het Live Aid-concert in 1985 wordt door verschillende publicaties tot de grootste in de rockgeschiedenis gerekend. In augustus 1986 gaf Mercury zijn laatste optreden met Queen in Knebworth, Engeland. In 1991 stierf hij aan bronchopneumonie – een complicatie van AIDS – en in 1997 ging Deacon met pensioen. Sinds 2004 toeren May en Taylor onder de naam “Queen +” met de vocalisten Paul Rodgers en Adam Lambert.
