After Israel & Palestine, Apple Inc. v. Apple Records holds prob­a­bly the longest ego fight in the mod­ern his­tory of human devel­op­ment, only this time, the Bible never men­tioned that Newton’s favorite fruit — the sweet a-p-p-l-e that would inspire his life­long obses­sion — would become the com­mer­cial names for some of the world’s biggest cul­tural cult icons today.

I’m pretty sure most of The Beatles are inside some, if not most of Beatles lover’s iPod, so this doesn’t change much, but it does sig­nal some­thing sig­nif­i­cant, it ren­ders the man­i­fes­ta­tion of hope, of change, it reaf­firms love as the fab­ric of our soci­ety, love as the real cul­tural fuel of progress, is that no mat­ter how hard and long of a bat­tle can be, love is all you need to resolve things.

This spe­cial sec­tion on Apple.com has many pho­tos & videos of The Beatles through the years in America, some­thing that I don’t see very often, like the one shown above, it’s timeless.

On the other side of the wall, per­form­ers behind the immensely pop­u­lar Cirque Du Soleil show­man has been mov­ing mus­cles & per­fect­ing the moves for their next — you’ve guessed it — a beatles-themed show The Beatles LOVE. Dominic Champagne, writer, direc­tor & the orig­i­nal cre­ator of the show explains:

“I wanted to cre­ate a Beatles expe­ri­ence rather than a Beatles story, tak­ing the audi­ence on an emo­tional jour­ney rather than a chrono­log­i­cal one, explor­ing the land­scapes and expe­ri­ences that have marked the group’s history.”

It doesn’t stop there, he has his eyes marked on every scene in the show, and this one for All You Need is Love caught my attention:

A mon­tage of The Beatles pro­jected on red Kabuki cur­tains that fills the audi­ence with won­der­ful nos­tal­gia and a mes­sage of LOVE.

Yes. Love is all you need.
