Stu was too close to John for Paul's liking, Pete was the handsome one who had the girls' attention.<br /><br />Pete was used up and discarded but at the end of the day he is still alive unlike George Harrison and John Lennon, he is not somebody like Ringo who is famous for being famous and not for any talent.<br /><br />And he is definitely not Paul McCartney who appears to have it all but definitely has skeletons in his closet which will tumble out once he goes. More importantly, Pete is not into the occult like Paul and so will not have to pay the piper in one way or another.<br /><br />No I do not know Pete Best or his Mum, I just know my Beatles history.The reckoningnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29142309.post-89334263197310330742013-10-02T09:21:56.378-07:002013-10-02T09:21:56.378-07:00Anonymous said "Fucking assholes", witho...Anonymous said "Fucking assholes", without any mention of who ARE the supposed "fucking assholes".<br />I'm going to assume he means The Beatles themselves. But why would that be? Is it because The Beatles fired Pete Best, or the WAY they fired Pete Best? If the latter is the case, perhaps an argument can be made on that point. My own response to that, however, is, Too bad, but so what? The hard, cold truth is that if you're "going to make it big" (or want to) in pretty much any chosen field, then there are going to be some hard, cold decisions that have to be made. But the mere fact alone THAT they fired Pete Best is a different matter. If Pete Best's drumming was questioned by the one and only record industry producer who was prepared to give them a shot at recording (after all others had rejected them), not to mention the other Beatles themselves seemed to have some resrvations about Best's drumming as well, and the fact that Best never quite fit in with the rest of the band members, personality-wise, then it would not only be resonable, but arguably inevitable, that his firing would take place. Personally, I believe the lack of cohension with John, Paul and George is what really sealed Pete's fate. I heard Tony Sheridan say in an interview, when he asked John why Pete was fired, Sheridan said John's response was, "Pete is a good drummer. Ringo is a good Beatle".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29142309.post-18429267860088272522013-09-20T07:20:28.802-07:002013-09-20T07:20:28.802-07:00Re: "dentistry back in '67 could not have...Re: "dentistry back in '67 could not have been THAT good, especially in England".<br /><br />Dentistry was as advanced in '67 as it is now, and what makes you think England, home of some of the finest dentists in Europe, would have inferior dental techniques than anyone else? Are you perhaps an American, confusing Britain's lack of orthodontic obsession (a uniquely American trait I believe) with bad quality of dental surgery?Boonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29142309.post-89605848433259105542013-07-23T20:46:50.193-07:002013-07-23T20:46:50.193-07:00Hi,

What's great about this period is many of the characters are still around — and willing to chat about the old days, including Pete Best who's an inspiration to so many of us. I recently met Chas Newby who was a fill-in for Stu Sutcliffe when the boys first returned from Hamburg.

I have rea...Mimi insisted there was an air raid on. I have read that John was born at 6:30 a.m. on the 9 October 1940 - some state p.m. Mimi said she held John 15 minutes after the birth. That means if John was born at 6:30 a.m., she went to Oxford St maternity hospital on the late evening of the 8th as the trams stopped around midnight or even well before so that sparks could not be seen from the overhead electric tram wires by planes. Mimi went by tram from Penny Lane.<br /><br />The Liverpool Echo reports no raids on the 9th October but raids on the 8th and 10th. On the 8th a lone German Ju88 was shot down in the fastest shoot down in all of WW2. Hurricanes were scrabbled at Speak airport. As they were taking off and the undercarriages were still retracting the Ju88 flew across the plane's bows at low level - they opened up hitting the Ju88 which flew over the the Wirral and crash landed near Bromborough Dock (now filled in). The pilots were Czechs.<br /><br />There was strict censorship in WW2, so newspaper reports cannot be relied upon One raid in May 1941, before the German push into the USSR, took out half the dock gates at Liverpool, which is a massive port. The Germans never knew that. <br /><br />So, a raid on 8 October 1940 may be the date to look at. Also there were many false alarms and the AA guns would open up firing at what they thought would be a plane. The shells burst to spatter planes and the shrapnel would fall down from the sky. This could kill as it was steel fragments. People had run for cover when the guns opened up, as it could be a real raid - and get away from the shrapnel. <br /><br />There may have even been a false alarm. One thing is clear is that in that period there were a series of air raids, hence why John was placed under his mothers bed.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12909467599259009166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29142309.post-10397403253411586522013-06-16T17:34:47.937-07:002013-06-16T17:34:47.937-07:00Thanks for your question and the kind words.Thanks for your question and the kind words.lotbhttp://lifeofthebeatles.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29142309.post-66889140928571988972013-05-29T00:34:51.710-07:002013-05-29T00:34:51.710-07:00does anyone know what bands opened up for the beat...does anyone know what bands opened up for the beatles on this exact night and show?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017040375118275484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29142309.post-87124772263304266492013-05-25T06:50:25.174-07:002013-05-25T06:50:25.174-07:00Video 1 is not a video, it's a CDVideo 1 is not a video, it's a CDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29142309.post-56531258604504819742013-05-23T09:37:37.872-07:002013-05-23T09:37:37.872-07:00WOW.

I posted a question a few years back on how George's song copyrights were handled under Michael Jackson's ownership and you gave a fantastic answer, many thanks again.<br /><br />I have a simpler question today..<br /><br />Paul's bike accident in '66. I know he hid his chipped tooth during filming of 'Paperback Writer' and 'Rain' and was a reason (apparently) for growing his mustache in late '66. <br /><br />My question is, 'When did he get his tooth fixed..?' Did he receive a cap in early '67 or what..? It seemed like it looked perfectly natural, and dentistry back in '67 could not have been THAT good, especially in England.<br /><br />Thanks again for such a entertaining blog.david_bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00218727673816200051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29142309.post-15481650966339947662013-03-30T13:23:07.165-07:002013-03-30T13:23:07.165-07:00Well Alex was the inspiration to what Apple comput...Well Alex was the inspiration to what Apple computers are today. Apple Corp had not only the apple as a trade mark but apple electronic, apple films, apple music , apple boutiques. This whole journey with Apple and Alex made the Beatles the most money. $500 billion was given to the Beatles by Steve Jobs for their logo and trade mark. <br /><br />Now that's really something. <br />The Beatles and Magic Alex created Apple computers or was the inspiration behind it all today. <br />So it makes you wonder was Magic Alex's really all that bad or did he not have the vision and understanding of what Steve Jobs continued. <br />Maybe Steve Jobs met Magic Alex. <br />Now that's some journey and the Fab Four really knew their purpose in life. If only we could now focus on gun control. <br />John Lennon is still watching over all of us and apple has a job to do. Tracking devices for gun control. At least we can be alerted if a gun is near a school or close to us. <br />Come on Apple the journey continues for the Beatles and human rights. Lets make a bigger difference in the world and continue the circle of life without greed but by PAYING IT FORWARD.Lynne11.10https://www.blogger.com/profile/13213388355933951984noreply@blogger.com
