You know that that photo was removed from a BB group on FB because it’s too political and the guy that posted it was banned. Everybody in the comments were way too sensitive too. Crazy sh!t! That's satire, not even very harsh one. Mike should probably better changed to Michael Flynn or - to go with the Shut Down line - Mitch McConnell |

Dolly Parton: LegendWe've been singing along for decades with Dolly Parton, the poor girl from the Great Smoky Mountains who became the glitzy queen of country glamour. She's still at it 24/7, still writing her legacy one song at a time, without a thought for the "R" word. Tony Dokoupil talked with the entertainer, who has sold more than 100 million albums, and who is the Grammys' 2019 MusiCares Person of the Year for her charity work.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj9CdCHCzlQ

It's to bad that they can't quit acting like children long enough to do a show or two. Hell, I'll take just a single song with all three of them.
Well, in a 2015 documentary they kinda did play together, although not in a room at the same time but via headphones and overdubbing. It seems the video isn't available anymore, but if you can find it, check it out, it's this documentary: https://au.news.yahoo.com/the-true-and-sad-story-of-creedence-clearwater-revival-29706004.htmlWell, look at this, I found it on youtube. Unfortunately not in good quality but you can still watch it. Part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kf2QKzKcpkQPart 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwY7ZG24fOkYou'll find the "reunion" at ca 6 mins. into the second part |

In that sense he really disappoints me as he was one of the people who I thought wouldn't go down that route. https://themusicuniverse.com/creedence-clearwater-revival-celebrates-50-years-short-film/Well, he also insisted long ago he was not going to ever become an oldies act, but I guess he found out that, at his age, that's all people want from him. And his appearance on the tribute to Elvis' Comeback makes it all too clear that he is now part of "that" side of the gang. BTW I read a review in a music magazine that says that the new CCR LPs are sounding very well. |

Sounds like what they did with Elvis' "That's the way it is" and the special edition. That is, taking unreleased footage and creating more or less a new movie that is loosely based on the original and also uses parts of the original. Or will the "new" Beatles movie be made up exclusively of unreleased stuff?

From the Beatles' facebook account:
We are proud to announce an exciting new collaboration between The Beatles and the acclaimed Academy Award winning director Sir Peter Jackson
The new film will be based around 55 hours of never-released footage of The Beatles in the studio, shot between January 2nd and January 31st, 1969. These studio sessions produced The Beatles’ Grammy Award winning album Let It Be, with its Academy Award winning title song. The album was eventually released 18 months later in May 1970, several months after the band had broken up.
The filming was originally intended for a planned TV special, but organically turned into something completely different, climaxing with The Beatles’ legendary performance on the roof of Apple's Savile Row London office — which took place exactly 50 years ago today.
Peter Jackson said, "The 55 hours of never-before-seen footage and 140 hours of audio made available to us, ensures this movie will be the ultimate ‘fly on the wall’ experience that Beatles fans have long dreamt about."
“I was relieved to discover the reality is very different to the myth,” continues Jackson, “it’s simply an amazing historical treasure-trove. Sure, there’s moments of drama - but none of the discord this project has long been associated with. Watching John, Paul, George, and Ringo work together, creating now-classic songs from scratch, is not only fascinating - it’s funny, uplifting and surprisingly intimate”.
"I’m thrilled and honoured to have been entrusted with this remarkable footage - making the movie will be a sheer joy.”
