Two earth shattering stories regarding the Beatles are circulating today.



Or not.


First - 2 minutes of 44 year old mediocre footage with no sound found!

Second - Pete Best dropped a bombshell, letting the world know that early in their career, he and Paul McCartney were deported from Germany....for lighting condoms on fire!

I've woken up in a different world today.

So are saying that Paul is a flaming heterosexual?

Well, Paul didn't die until around '67, so he still would have been around to light those condoms.

Gee, you think you know a band, then news like this surfaces. GD, you have rocked my world as well.

Only if you set him on fire.

John and George are still dead

Paul never was

Ringo's talent was never born

I would think that the millions of drummers who were influenced by his innovative style of playing might disagree just a bit. :)

I hope Ringo outlives Paul, even if he has to kill Mr. McCartney himself :evil:

Interviewer: "Is Ringo the greatest drummer in the world?"
John: "He's not even the best drummer in the Beatles."






(And yes, I know that John's criticism of Ringo's playing was always in jest: in a 1980 Playboy interview, he praised his chops).

This reminds me that my habit of reading the newspaper every day without fail began when I used to pore through the newspaper looking for any mention of the Beatles. When they were touring there was something just about every day. I miss that.
