I imagined that everybody thought you were Michael Jackson but I thought that was probably wrong, but I guess that’s the same thing as nobody knowing who you were. Did they think you were Michael Jackson? Or a vampire? Because Elvis, MJ, and vampires all wear capes so it would be a common mistake.

Most people didn’t bother to guess. One guy said “What are you? Someone from Star Wars?”

I was watching Dracula A.D 1972 (stupid film, I don’t recommend it.) and all the teenagers hang around in a club called “The Cavern“. You cannot imagine how excited I was!

No idea if it was the same show but ‘CSI: Crime Scene Investigation’ frequently had the ‘Love’ advertisement appear during episodes.

I think ye’ve waited long enough 😛
Well I saw the lads’ suits (the guide said they were the only “complete collection” i.e. all four Beatle suits on display in the world but of course I knew they were wrong because the museum in Liverpool has their ugly ’63 collarless suits). They were ‘typical of them’ 1964 suits that they wore while promoting AHDN . As well as that they had:
A poster which each of them had signed.
A record certifying the sale of more than a million copies for ‘I Want To Hold Your Hand ‘
A Hofner bass signed by Paul
And a letter that John wrote to his step-sister Julia , detailing Sean’s birth. Unfortunately he didn’t sign it, so I guess that’s why the museum could afford to get it, it was worth less than a typical Lennon letter. But I don’t think it was in Hunter Davies’ book for some reason, he mightn’t have known of its existence.
Further Beatley moments:
We went to an American themed diner on the way home and each table had a mini jukebox that you could put money into, pick a song and it would play over the speakers. There were about 10 Beatles songs on it, very impressive. Well someone in the place seemed to hate The Fabs because everytime I put in my 20c to play a song within about 20 secs someone would change it 
So I started a war 
I must have put in about 60c to get ‘All My Loving ‘ played the whole way through and I managed it goddammit 
. We also played ‘Hello, Goodbye ‘ and ‘Back In The USSR ‘.
Also today I walked into Galway city to top-up my bus card seeing as you can’t do it online 
and I was looking in the shop fronts as I went by when suddenly I saw this in a bookshop
Now because I only saw it for a second I went “GEORGE?!?!” internally and practically ran into the shop to see what new George book was released (and why the hell hadn’t I heard of a new one), then I found out it’s actually a book on Tara Browne, “the lucky man who made the grade”.
I hadn’t heard of it ’til today and I didn’t want to spend €18 on a book if I didn’t know if it was going to be sh*t or not but I looked at the reviews its been getting and they are very positive.
I’ll probably pop in to buy it someday this month.

Offline Changing trains in the subway…a guy hands me a pamphlet which I take without looking. I walk through the station and get on my train and sit and then I look at what’s in my hand…it’s titled “My Commutation” and features a photo of John, Paul, George and Pete. Apparently a guy named Tony Alamo did PR or promotion for Pete Best after he was ousted from the Beatles. Then Alamo went on to found a “Christian cult” before going to prison on a variety of charges including transporting minors across state lines for illicit purposes…but his church apparently still owns a printing press and has the resources to hand our pamphlets in the subway, protesting his innocence.
Well, other than the photo, not very Beatley…

By Linda CaillouetPAPER TRAILS: Alamo’s tale of Best gift a lie, Pete says
STRAIGHT TO THE SOURCE: For years, evangelist Tony Alamo, whose multistate ministry is based in Fouke, has claimed to have an unreleased master recording of an early Beatles album worth $50 million. Alamo says the band’s original drummer, Pete Best, gave it to him for promoting Best’s new band in 1964.
No one has ever asked Best about Alamo’s claim — until now.
After Best played at Sticky Fingerz in Little Rock on Wednesday, Paper Trails asked him about Alamo.
“I’ve never heard of him,” said Best, who was booted from the Beatles in 1962 and replaced by Ringo Starr . And, when told Alamo was arrested last week in Flagstaff, Ariz., on federal charges of transporting minors across state lines for sexual purposes, Best added, “He’s not the type of guy I’d like to get involved with.”
IN HIS CORNER: Speaking of Alamo (whose real name is Bernie Lazar Hoffman), who’ll defend him? Little Rock-based criminal defense attorney John Wesley Hall Jr., his partner Patrick Benca and Jeff Harrelson of Texarkana.

Offline Why would Pete Best have a recording of an early Beatles album in the first place, he was sacked before they started – unless it was the German or Decca tracks and no one would put their worth at $50 nowadays never mind $50m.
So the reason no one has ever asked about it is because they know without asking it’s total bullshit.
Tho maybe he heard Bernard Purdie playing drums on an album, thinks its therefore Ringo due to Purdie’s claims and so jumped to it being the Beatles.

There should be little doubt that Tony Alamo is full of s–t. Actually, the pamphlet – I didn’t bother reading this far until now – says “As payment for the promotion, I was given one of six original Beatle albums that Peter’s mother owned.” I guess maybe it would be the Decca tapes, which Brian Epstein is said to have had made into acetates to make it easier to get prospective record companies to listen to them. Or the whole story is a fiction, though if you were going to invent an association with a Beatle, Pete might not be your first choice…
