I’ve been seeing the ads for what looks like a pretty good flick called Yesterday. From what I gather it’s about a struggling muscian who’s fond of playing Beatles tunes and suddenly finds himself in a world where no one remembers the group except him. Needless to say he then becomes the biggest rock star in the world by off passing off all of their songs as his own. I haven’t seen it but it’s not hard to figure out what’s going to happen.
While I’m certain that things will resort back to normal (if you can call the world that). I’ve decided to speculate on what would happen if it didn’t and the guy lived out his life as the only one who remembers of the Beatles. The answer is: RICH AS SHIT!
Yes he gets the bucks from I Want to Hold Your Hand, Sgt Pepper and Get Back but he also gets the greatest and most uplifting concert ender ever in Hey Jude. Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Hey Jude. Not only that but he also gets to make hit albums such as The White Album and Abbeyville Road with the songs already supplied. All the benefits with none of the work required but it doesn’t stop there.
The Beatles didn’t retire after the band broke up in 1970. All of them Paul, John, George (my favorite) and Ringo all went on to successful singles careers. That means he also can sing songs such as Imagine, Instant Karma, My Sweet Lord, What is a life and countless others from the band members singles career. The hits and the cash keep on coming.
That’s a whole heap of glory for one actor who’s name I don’t. Same time I do have to hand it to him because I would have done the same thing…and I can’t even sing.
That movie does look interesting. Not being able to sing does pose a problem! I would hot tub time machine it and create Amazon. lol π
