McCartney Times

BUENOS AIRES, April 22 (Xinhua) — British rock band The Beatles arguably put many barbers out of business in the 1960s by making longer hair fashionable for men, but that has not stopped an Argentine hairdresser from dedicating his shop to the Fab Four.A big fan of the legendary musical group, barber Gerardo Weiss decided to unite his favorite pastimes into one grand venture by turning his establishment in the traditional Buenos Aires neighborhood of Flores into a veritable shrine to the legendary band.”At first, everyone told me that it was passe, that nobody was going to come … but I went ahead anyway, because it was a dream of mine, to combine my two passions: The Beatles and the barber shop,” Weiss told Xinhua.Part museum, every inch of the shop is covered with vintage Beatles memorabilia, from posters to album covers and photographs, while shelves are filled with souvenir items, such as miniature dolls of musicians John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.
