I'm officially done. It's not the same without Sir Paul co-producing. Any further tracks would just end up as Sony/Wētā ML fodder. I'd never done backing vocals before, so it's great that I kicked their arses. - Sony and Disney can't use my body or voice to replace their dead actors. I was right btw: the actors were British, but the Beatlemania group was American. Himesh was training them. Obviously had no interest in making lame covers. He's a tool of the spooks, so he's not likely to become part of Imagine. My view is that this album is a better version of the band's life story than any film. - Apple Corps still wants me to wrap up The Beatles Invade The Establishment, but the whole point of my album was to emphasise rock'n'roll over crossover pop. I read in the Guardian that someone else covered the psychedelic songs this year. While everyone else is bitching about Beatles covers, they tell me my new songs are charting in the UK and the US. Even if they're not, they've had a huge impact politically. Working For Each Other was a global hit and encouraged young people to protest, which is probably what Sir Paul was hoping would happen if we collaborated. - I got a lot out of working with Paul; these covers were mostly for fun. It stopped being fun, so I'm going to stop making them. I don't want to end up in an arms race against AI and barely competent musicians. In My Life was when I won the race, for those who are wondering, but I'm actively fighting Sony's 2028 films that were prematurely announced. The only reason I wrote a script with Macca was that their scripts were awful. You all took the payola, Beatles superfans, but my covers won the day (not yours). - As for being trespassed: I'm not even in London! I live in Wellington. Tom Hooper and his idiots can't use most of the songs or branding, so it's going to be a pretty lame set of movies. Yes, they replaced Mendes with Hooper. Barely competent hacks rather than Edgar or Sir Peter. Our sources tell me there's been dozens of on-set deaths, not including the shootout. They turned it into Jersey Boys, complete with pyrotechnics. To share a story about my films, there were fireworks going on when we shot 'Tis You, but we deliberately didn't put them in the film. The Beatles weren't that type of band. If they keep going, there's a fair chance of competing films being released in 2028. Apple Corps intends to shut down Sony's films, but we'll see if they succeed or not.

Amanda vs. pops concerts

I realise it's a weird contradiction: I'm only allowing concert performances of my Triptych, yet I'm refusing to do any type of musical medley or pops concert. Bluntly, Portrait of a Knight is only 4

Yeah, they're definitely using AI on Taylor's tracks. The rhythm isn't right in Patient Zero or Cleveland! Sounds like Emanuel's recent songs. https://emanuelegarcia.substack.com/p/the-prize-i-love-a

If I'm not mistaken, they're limited to Harrison songs and covers. Olivia didn't initiate a buyback, while Paul, Ringo and Yoko did. Though that's a lot of material, it's hardly enough for four biopics. Harry is thinking of buying the publishing rights back from Sony. They tell me Apple Corps won the super-majority needed to form Imagine Multimedia.

I challenge my competitors to make 38 covers which are equally solid.
