Pop culture roundup: Beatles; Beach Boys; Peanuts!

"Hey Jude" is reportedly the most frequently referenced song in modern literature.

In a letter to the Los Angeles Times, Brian Wilson says he'd like the reunited Beach Boys lineup continue, contrary to cousin Mike Love's plans, which call for a Love-front version of the band, minus Wilson, Al Jardine and David Marks, to play concert dates.
..it's my opinion that we should all go out together as the Beach Boys in support of all our new releases. We really weren't out on the road that long for an anniversary of this magnitude and I actually think we should make one last record together.

You can now buy a limited reproduction of the circus poster that inspired John Lennon's lyrics to "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite" off the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper album. I ordered my copy!

A new Peanuts animated film may be on the way for 2015.
Twentieth Century Fox Animation and Blue Sky Studios have acquired big-screen rights to the late Charles Schulz’s Peanuts franchise.

The untitled animated film has been scheduled for release on Nov. 25, 2015. That year will mark the 65th anniversary of the debut of the Peanuts comic strip and the 50th anniversary of the TV special A Charlie Brown Christmas.
