LIVERPOOL — It was supposed to be the usual one and a half-hour, hop-on, hop-off ride on a double-deck bus taking tourists around this English port city. The itinerary included stops at Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields, two subjects of Beatles songs with pass-throughs of the homes where John Lennon and Paul McCartney grew up.
A memorable stop on the bus ride was Penny Lane where Hough led the passengers to the road sign for picture-taking. Then, Hough spotted an elderly man walking down the street and immediately, called him out. The man turned out to be Colin Hanton who was the drummer with the band Quarry Men in the late 1950s when Lennon, McCartney and George Harrison started to play beautiful music together.
“No regrets,” said Hanton. “I’d spoken with John a few times after we parted ways but never with Paul or George. When we reformed the Quarry Men, we did tours in the UK, US, Germany, Japan, and Russia and recorded three albums.”In the 2009 biopic “Nowhere Boy,” actor Sam Wilmott portrayed Hanton. Marian Rivera is back to show her dancing grooves as she accepted Ben&Ben's challenge to dance along to their"Could Be Something"...Meryl Streep is one of the most feted actors in Hollywood history, with a record 21 Oscar nominations and three wins.
