Dare I mention the "Paul is dead" rumours?

I enjoyed seeing the pic of DC5. Great group.

John saying that 'Ringo wasn't even the best drummer in the Beatles' is surely one of the top Beatles things that never happened haha.

I also see still see/hear people say Please Please Me was their first UK #1. I'm firmly in the From Me to You camp. Great post, as always!

Thanks! And yeah, those are a couple of good ones. Those examples also make a good point. The drummer comment is one that is absolutely debunked, with real evidence, while the argument about "Please Please Me" actually has evidence that can be looked at both ways. Officially, though, only a #2!

George was a hardcore heroin addict who got arrested for heroin possession 3x in 1969. He was the biggest druggie in the band. 😂

Paul played the solo on "Something" because only he possessed the talent to do so.

Oh, yes. I remember them well. Ha!

Poor George. I hear Pete Townshend had to get him into rehab. 😂

We have so much to thank Pete for! 😂
