The Genesis drummer and singer Phil Collins is a really huge fan of The Beatles and always shared his love for the band. They influenced him a lot and when he was young he even had the chance to be part of the crowd of their famous movie "A Hard Day's Night" and a few years later he also was part of the recording sessions of George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass", although he wasn't part of the final cut of the album. But he at least had the chance to share the stage with George Harrison, Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney in the following decades. So his relation with The Beatles really comes from before he even became a musician. However, he didn't have a pleasant experience with Paul McCartney once as he recalled in an interview with The Sunday Times back in 2016. That happened in 2002 when they were at Buckingham Palace. The unpleasant experience Phil Collins had with Paul McCartney "I met him when I was working at the Buckingham Palace party back in 2002. McCartney came up with (his then-wife) Heather Mills and I had a first edition of The Beatles, by Hunter Davies. I said, 'Hey, Paul, do you mind signing this for me?' And he said, 'Oh, Heather, our little Phil's a bit of a Beatles fan.' And I thought, 'You fuck, you fuck.' Never forgot it." "McCartney was one of my heroes. But he has this thing when he's talking to you, where he makes you feel (like), 'I know this must be hard for you because I'm a Beatle. I'm Paul McCartney and it must be very hard for you to actually be holding a conversation with me,'" Phil Collins said. Paul McCartney sent him an email after he read that interview In an interview in the same year with Billboard, Phil Collins revealed that Paul McCartney e-mailed him after reading what he said. According to the Genesis member, the Beatle kind of asked them to just move on with their lives and not talk about that anymore. “I’m afraid it happened, you know. I’m afraid it affected me the way it did and I’m afraid I wrote about it. I think maybe I should just brush it under the carpet and forget about it and move on. But it did happen.” “He’s been in touch about it because he was upset. I certainly didn’t get any flowers from him. I got more of a ‘Let’s just get on with our lives.’ And I’m sorry he’s upset that I kinda said something nasty about him. Well, it wasn’t really nasty. If people don’t tell people that sometimes their attitude could be a bit better then you’re not gonna get any better, y’know?” Phil Collins said. Curiously, there are only three musicians in the world who sold an estimated amount of more than 100 million records both as part of a band and as a solo artist. Phil Collins and Paul McCartney are on that list alongside Michael Jackson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tpr_IDKVv9k&pp=ygUbcGhpbCBjb2xsaW5zIHBhdWwgbWNjYXJ0bmV5The post The unpleasant experience Phil Collins had with Paul McCartney appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.

Thomas Matthew Crooks visited the Donald Trump rally location twice, his cell phone contained images of both Trump and President Joe Biden, and the would-be assassin’s search history included dates of the Democratic National Convention as well as future Trump events, three US officials told CNN. The new details revealed more about what Crooks was doing in the days and hours leading up to his attempt to assassinate the former president. But investigators combing through Crooks’...

Learning a new skill, such as playing an instrument, gardening or picking up a new language, takes a lot of time and practice, whether that means scale training, learning about native plants or using flashcards to memorize new words.To improve through practice, you have to perform the task repeatedly while also receiving feedback so you know whether you’re doing it correctly or not. Is my pitch correct? Did my geraniums bloom? Is my pronunciation understandable?However, a new study by researchers at the Institute of Neuroscience at the University of Oregon shows that you can speed up the processes by adding a third element to practice and feedback: passive exposure. The good news is that passive exposure requires minimal effort and is enjoyable."Active learning of a... task requires both expending effort to perform the task and having access to feedback about task performance," the study authors explained. "Passive exposure to sensory stimuli, on the other hand, is relatively effortless and does not require feedback about performance."

If you’re learning to cook, keep the Food Network on TV all day to absorb some great culinary advice. Learning to garden? Take the time to notice the flora and fauna in your neighborhood or make frequent trips to your local botanical garden.If you’re learning a new language, watch plenty of TV and films in the tongue you are learning.The scientists add that auditory learning is especially helpful, so listen to plenty of audiobooks or podcasts on the subject you’re learning about.Researchers learned the tremendous benefits of passive exposure after conducting a study with a group of mice. They trained them to find water, using various sounds to give either positive or negative feedback, like playing a game of “hot or cold.” Some mice were passively exposed to these sounds when they weren't looking for water. Those who experienced this additional passive exposure and their active training learned to find the water reward faster.

If you enjoy listening to blues music so much that you decided to learn for yourself, it’s another reason to make it an even more significant part of your life.
