George and Ringo had each hoped to contribute to the writing process, but John and Paul convinced them that there weren't enough pens to go around.

 

What was the title of the title track from 1968's The Beatles double-vinyl release (also known as the "White Album ")?

  

Paul: Yeah well… first of all, we’re bringing out a ‘Stamp Out Detroit’ campaign.

Return to Russia.

 

What other fields did John consider writing about other than Strawberries? Cherries? Currants?

John Lennon used to own a wine orchard, which he exported to a Bird which flew away after a blissful night. It was situated in Norwegian Wood , Scotland. c31771d9-1c6f-4064-a88e-7854d9519ec6.jpegImage Enlarger

She shouldn't know what you did in the road.

Does anything go well with a Savoy Truffle ?

Being a guitar-playing native of Liverpool, England, John was most obviously a Liverbird:

What was Mal Evans' method for tuning the comb-and-toilet-paper instruments used on "Lovely Rita "?

He actually hired the Beatles' Dentist to clean its teeth. He was related to Doctor Robert , I think it was Billy, Billy, Billy of the BDA.

To nowhere land.

What was the reason why The Beatless never returned to the Ed Sullivan Show after their first apearance?

They were sidelined for Flatt and Scruggs.

What did Paul do when he was angry, and Let It Be didn't calm him down?

He'd be cruel to his woman, he'd beat her and keep her apart from the things that she loved.

Is it true when John wanted Hitler and Jesus on the Pepper cover, Ringo threatened Napoleon and Satan?

No, that's not true. Ringo was too lovely a person to ever threaten anybody, even someone who engaged in such nasty acts as capturing Christian souls or conquering Europe.

 

Why didn't the Beatles ask Pete Best to fill in for Ringo's drum duties during Ringo's 1964 hospitalization with tonsillitis?

Best openly admitted to loving The Rolling Stones. a-hard-days-night-ringo-14

What if Beatles (maybe John) had ties to the Italian Mafia?

The song would have been Back in the SPQR (instead of USSR).

Which member of the Band On The Run could run the fastest?

#2) a Jet at the Speed of Sound; so far it's outlasted the Moonraker!

What caused the Curse of Let it Be, so that 99% of it will remain unreleased forever?

The Beatles were going back to their roots, as nature intended, and yet no Pete Best return and no reason for why not despite 55 years, two released albums, two U.S. singles, four unreleased albums, two films and a uber-super-sparkly-deluxe being released. The world needs a Beatles + Pete reunion.

 

Why is 'Please Please Me ' not on '1' even tho it was a #1?

Was withheld by the Lennon estate (Yoko) due to creative control; they tried to brand it, copyright it as a figure of speech.

Is there an unrecorded song from Decca? If so, which is it?

Yes, in fact several; "Pinwheel Twist", "Thinking of Linking" and "Carnival Of Light " were all unrecorded at Decca.

 

Why did George Martin refuse to play his oboe on any Beatles recording session?

 

  

Paul: Yeah well… first of all, we’re bringing out a ‘Stamp Out Detroit’ campaign.

He refused to blow as much hot air as Paul from Penny Lane .

 

What positions on baseball would best help the Beatles beat Peanuts; Charlie Brown as pitcher, Lucy as Right fielder, Schroeder as catcher and Snoopy as shortstop?

Paul McCartney would be pitcher, since he was a workaholic. 

John would be catcher, since he worked closely with Paul and they pretty much made the bulk of the material.

George should just be a fielder

and that leaves Ringo as shortstop, underappreciated but still very important.

 

What was Paul's thoughts about Grace Slick singing White Rabbit?

Paul was just disappointed that White Rabbit wasn't the new variety of marijuana that he thought it might be. 

What was Ringo doing at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show a few years ago when a friend of mine who is a 'Ringo' in a Beatles tribute band attempted to talk to him?
