Hello, my online handle is jfire. You may know me from such blogs as the still-very-much-active Pop Culture Safari and the still-up, but inactive Mighty Marvelmania Museum, DC Comics Fortress of Memorabilia and Bat Channel.
Obviously, I'm a pop culture enthusiast with a particular interest in comics, movies, TV and music from the middle of our previous century. I've been sharing my views and loves online for many years via these various vehicles and recently decided to veer back into Beatles territory.
Why, for God's sake why, another Beatles blog/site/whatever? There are so many out there!
No doubt The Glass Onion will overlap with some of those other fine outlets. But I see a niche for a site that's a little more serious. One that collects not every Beatles-related headline, but all of the most important ones. A blog that provides detailed reviews of worthwhile new Beatles-related books, music and videos. A site that reviews other Beatles blogs and websites and guides you to those that are most valuable and interesting. A place that examines aspects of the band's impact and history and provides interesting perspectives. A site that peers through all the band's many layers.
I'm hoping, eventually, that this will be a place where people who study the Beatles - whether it's just for fun or as part of a more serious journalistic or academic pursuit -- can visit to learn more about the band.
I've been working, for time now, on my own Beatles book (oh, Lord, not another one of those, too!) and will share bits and pieces from that, along with some of my research findings, here, too.
So, stay tuned and please get in touch! One thing I'd love to do, if I can attract enough interest here, is to create a bulletin board where we can all share our own Beatles news and views.
