176/365 - All You Need is Love...

Today's photo is honouring the Beatles since today is Global Beatles Day - "a day honoring and celebrating the phenomenon and ideals of the Beatles, collectively and individually, for their gifts to the world including, but not limited to, their promotion of peace and love, of truth and youth, and of the expansion of human consciousness." It is a day to reflect on how the Beatles impacted the world globally in terms of culture and music. The day was founded in 2009 by Faith Cohen. It takes place on June 25th, because that marks the day that the first live satellite production was broadcasted globally. It was a British program titled Our World, and it ended with the Beatles' performance of "All You Need Is Love". Artists from nineteen countries were included in the program, and it is estimated that at least 400 million people watched it, which was the largest television audience up until that time."

 

I am today years old to finally notice that Paul McCartney was not wearing any shoes for the photo of this album cover. 😂
