Beatles fans across the globe rejoiced today as the news broke that Paul and Ringo have signed a six album deal with Def Jam records and will be promoting their new album with a worldwide tour. This will be the first time the two of them have made music together since The Beatles split in December of 1953. A spokesperson for Paul McCartney says that the death of their beloved bandmates John Lennon and George Harrison prompted the two remaining rock icons to get back together and create a loving tribute album to their fallen friends. In a telephone interview Ringo stated, "Once the inspiration hit us, there was no stopping us. Paul and I have been working on new tunes for about seven months now. They all have a very Georgie and Johnny type vibe to them. It's as if their spirits intertwined with our own and are doing all the work for us." When asked about their decision to invite pop sensation Justin Bieber to join the group, Ringo added, "Well, that really was a no-brainer there. Paul and I have been following his career since day one and we think he's very talented. We were going to add a fourth member, but once the three of us got together, it was very clear that the magic was all there. If it's not broke, then why in the fuck would you try and fix it. The kid is like John and George rolled into one super adorable little guy. We're sure we're going to sell plenty of records or ringtones or whatever the bloody hell the music is played on nowadays."
While Beatles fans celebreated the news, some Bieber fans are outraged. Here are some examples of tweets that have been rolling in on Justin's Tweeter Twatter:
"justin why you do this!"@jbieb
"we like you by your lonely self the bestest"@jbieb
"when is the beetlas gonna stop acktin like they not 2 old"@jbieb
"I hope you rot in hell"@jbieb
"y u wanna"@jbieb
And the list rolls on into the thousands. This may not be the smartest career move for Justin, especially considering he is soon to be a father. I'll admit that from an artistic point of view, it's an honorable move. And sure, he'll gain a handfull of new fans, but he stands to lose all of his younger and more attractive followers that are ready and willing to exhaust the possibilities in restroom stalls of huge arenas across the country. Whatever the outcome, I personally am looking forward to hearing their new music and wish them the best of luck.
