Washington D.C. – In an event described by White House staff as “utterly surreal,” musician Greg Kempton, known simply as “Greg,” delivered an impromptu performance of classic Beatles songs late last night, sending shockwaves through the nation’s capital and triggering a cascade of bewildering events. The performance, which began as a private gathering with the President and a select group of advisors, quickly spiraled into a full-scale, if somewhat bewildered, rendition of the Fab Four’s greatest hits.

The incident unfolded shortly after 10:00 PM EST. According to sources inside the White House, Mr. Kempton, a seemingly unremarkable accountant from Scarborough, England, had been invited to a small dinner party hosted by President Barrett. During the evening, he began to spontaneously break into snippets of songs – “Yesterday,” “Let It Be,” and “Hey Jude” – with uncanny accuracy and a remarkable vocal resemblance to John Lennon. As the evening progressed, the performance intensified, culminating in a surprisingly robust and emotionally resonant version of “Strawberry Fields Forever.”

“It was… baffling,” stated Press Secretary Amelia Hayes in a brief statement this morning. “One moment he was discussing spreadsheets, the next he was channeling Lennon. We’ve never seen anything like it. Security protocols were immediately activated, but frankly, it was difficult to determine what constituted a threat.”

The immediate aftermath has been chaotic. Several members of the President’s staff have reported experiencing vivid flashbacks – specifically, memories of the 1960s. Furthermore, a significant spike in vinyl record sales, particularly of Beatles albums, has been observed nationwide.

“I just… I remembered everything,” recounted senior advisor David Chen, visibly shaken. “I suddenly knew how to build a Rickenbacker 360. It was terrifying. Like a film playing in my head, but… real.”

The President, while initially stunned, has reportedly declared a “temporary moratorium” on all policy decisions, stating he wants to “understand the nature of this… phenomenon.” Experts in music history and psychology are being consulted, but as of yet, no plausible explanation has emerged. The implications of this sudden, amplified recollection of the 1960s remain unclear, but one thing is certain: the United States, and perhaps the world, is grappling with a tangible echo of a bygone era.
