Beatles 1964 - A Midsummer Night's Dream

[Light-of-Truth]

We bought tickets to see Ringo Starr three years ago. It looks like we finally get to see him and his band in couple weeks! What a blessing he is still alive!

We need a good show. Hoping everything works out smoothly. We've never seen Ringo.

I Googled "Ringo Starr and Shakespeare" today and stumbled on a 1964 skit of the Beatles doing a scene of A Midsummer Night's Dream. There is a colorized version of this, but for me the sound seemed best on this one. 🙂

If I get time, I will look for the Bacon hints. I am sure there are a few! Till then it is hard to not laugh at this video!!

We saw Paul a few years ago when he was 74 years old. Amazing. In this video from '64 he is a kid!

My first memory of the Beatles was when I was 4. My Dad had left to be in Vietnam for a year. My Mom cried the day he left which for me and my little brother was intense. We never saw her cry before.

The second time we saw her cry? We were watching the TV news and the Beatles got off an airplane in the New Atlantis. Mom was bawling! Tears! But it was different from the time before. We got to stay up late to watch them sing later. They were cool. Way better than war.

Re: Ringo and the All Stars. Have a great night at the concert. That's got to be the most excruciating footage of Beatles ever filmed!😀 Also, the Fabs in Elizabethan costume works well for some reason I can't define.

Hi Rob,

Yesterday, right after watching your video "Around the Beatles" I don't know why but I took a look at the Book about Shakespeare (Shakespeare form A to Z) that I bought two weeks ago at a flea market.

I  opened the book to one page "randomly" and discovered a photo of the frontispiece of a book that I did not know entitled "The Wits, or, Sport upon sport."

https://luna.folger.edu/luna/servlet/detail/FOLGERCM1~6~6~218246~113946:Wits--Part-1--The-wits,-or,-Sport-u

I decided to follow my intuition and to take a closer look at this book.

https://archive.org/details/witsorsportupons00kirk/page/n3/mode/2up?ref=ol

Firstly, I took a look at pages 33 (BACON simple cipher), 34 (33+34=67 = FRANCIS simple Cipher) and 35 (33+34+35=102).

Imagine the smile on my face, facing a scene of "Midsummer Night's Dream" and discovering the following scene on pages 34 and 35 ...

This is exactly the scene played by the Beatles in the video !!! 😃

Then I noticed the strange numbering of the pages ,the first numbered page being in fact the 25th page of the book.

https://archive.org/details/witsorsportupons00kirk/page/n27/mode/2up?ref=ol

The acrostic of the first stance of "Diphilo and Granida" is very interesting. 😉 

The 33rd page of the book is the page 9 (3 by 3), the first page of the Play "OENONE, a Pastoral."

https://archive.org/details/witsorsportupons00kirk/page/8/mode/2up?ref=ol

And the pages 16 and 17 of this play (16+17=33) are also very interesting 🙂 

I remind you the tilte of the book : "The Wits, or, Sport upon sport" (A clue ?)

By the way, I imagine that the Beatles decided to play a scene of "Midsummer Night's Dream" for the following reason ...

Edit :

Philomel remind me Shakespeare's Sonnet 102 ...

Edited September 6, 2022 by Allisnum2er

I don't remember if I ever mentioned that "Philomell", the only italic word on the page with Sonnet 102 is 102 Simple cipher using the modern alphabet.

The Bacon-Rosicrucian Folger Shakespeare Library published this fun article in April of this year that I just now saw:

John, Paul, Pyramus, and Thisbe: The Beatles performing Shakespeare

https://shakespeareandbeyond.folger.edu/2022/04/08/beatles-performing-shakespeare-john-paul-pyramus-thisbe/

And I see this one on HuffPost:

Shocking News: All Beatles Songs Were Written By Christopher Marlowe And Francis Bacon

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/shocking-news-all-beatles-songs-were-written-by-christopher_b_59317e2de4b0649fff211847

"Pilchard insists that Marlowe faked his own death in 1593 and tried his hand at songwriting under the pseudonym Maxwell Edison. He teamed up with Bacon and, later, Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford (the quiet one), and William Stanley, 6th Earl of Derby (the funny one). The four became quite popular, but divisions grew between them, including de Vere’s increased spiritualism and Bacon’s courting of a Japanese conceptual artist renowned for her “no ink or paper” calligraphy. The quartet’s last public performance was a concert given on the rooftop of Hampton Court Palace, with Bacon saying, 'Great and many thankings, good sirs, and grant us the power to pass thine audition.' "

 

Synchronicity was crackling when I found the Beatles video. I just wasn't sure what to share, so took the quick easy quiet path. 🙂

Funny, now when I read Shakespeare the voices I hear are John, Paul, Ringo and George. I can live with that, I wonder if it is permanent. LOL

Here's a curious article:

http://beaconfilms2011.blogspot.com/2013/03/raob-queen-b-and-beatles.html

RAOB, Queen B and the Beatles

RAOB stands for the Royal Antediluvian Order of the Buffaloes and is a masonic type organisation originally created for stage hands and other theatrical types. John Lennon’s uncle Charlie was a long-time member and, it would appear, Beyonce is now supporting the movement.

Farther down these thoughts are shared:

That the Queen was hidden on the album cover was no accident, it is a symbolic representation of hidden knowledge. Hidden knowledge of the type possessed by Queen Elizabeth I’s trusted lieutenant – and possibly also her son – Sir Francis Bacon: the true author of the works of Shakespeare, the editor of the King James Bible, the arch exponent of hidden coded messages and the archetypal Rosicruician, the father of the Illuminati.

This assertion can be backed up by the use of the word Antediluvian in the Royal Antediluvian Order of the Buffaloes. The Antediluvian period – meaning "before the deluge" – is the period referred to in the Bible between the Creation of the Earth and the Deluge (flood) in the biblical cosmology. The Legionnaire character is a nod to the author Ignatius L Donnelly. In 1882, Donnelly published ‘Atlantis: The Antediluvian World’, his best known work. It details theories concerning the mythical lost continent of Atlantis. Donnelly suggested that Atlantis had been destroyed during the same event remembered in the Bible as the Great Flood.

Donnelly was also a great believer in the theory that Sir Francis Bacon was the true author of the works of Shakespeare and in 1888 he published ‘The Great Cryptogram’ in support of this belief. Bacon’s most famous work, in his own name, was his tome ‘New Atlantis’ and it is a vision of a Rosicrucian paradise. A paradise very similar to the one portrayed in the Beatles film ‘Yellow Submarine’ in the domain of Pepperland, found, as I am sure you will recall, 80,000 leagues under the sea.

Whoever wrote this certainly appears to be a Baconian. The article leads one to this online book:

Random poking around, for example searching the text for "Bacon", I read the words of a serious Rosicrucian Baconian. 😉

Adding this short video by the author of the above book.

WOW !!! Serious Rosicrucian Baconian indeed !

Random poking around quickly , I noticed that the author mentionned the reference to the Stab Act in Julius Caesar , hidden in the Back cover of the Album, sharing some interesting interpretations, but it seems that he do not mention that in Shakespeare's play, Caesar was stabbed 33 times (instead of 23 times), as has rightly been pointed out by A Phoenix ! 😉
