Default there ain't no beatles in houston

Neat, but I wonder why he didn't choose a band that's actually from Houston, or at least Texas.

Really. Like a massive ZZ Top sculpture. Question is where? Perhaps near the former Summit in honor of all the tours they ended there.
The Osteens wouldn't mind, would they? Hehehe.

Haha! That'd be hilarious. He has property near Shepherd and I-10 and that's where he's installing the Beatles.

I keep staring at these... this town, this state is so bizarre. LOL

This is so cool. Knowing rock and cultural history I can think of a dozen reasons why The Beatles got this statue. Rock and roll never forgets!!!

Despite what Lennon said, Addick's Beatles aren't bigger than Jesus:

Houston, TX - 170-Ft. Tall Cross
