SEPTEMBER 11
TODAY IN 1967, THE BEATLES STARTED FILMING “MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR.” THEY’D SPEND THE NEXT TWO WEEKS FILMING WITH NO SCRIPT, MAKING IT UP AS THE WENT ALONG.
IN 1970, JIMI HENDRIX DID HIS LAST INTERVIEW, TALKING ABOUT FUTURE PLANS TO WORK WITH MILES DAVIS AND PAUL MCCARTNEY. HE DIED A WEEK LATER.
ON THIS DAY IN 2001, PAUL MCCARTNEY WAS GROUNDED ON THE RUNWAY AT JFK WHEN THE 9/11 ATTACKS HAPPENED. SEEING THE SMOKE FROM HIS PLANE, HE’D GO ON TO HELP ORGANIZE “THE CONCERT FOR NEW YORK” TO BENEFIT VICTIM’S FAMILIES AND RESCUE WORKERS.
