Slightly less time than the final piano chord from ‘A Day In The Life ‘ lasted.

How many album sides made up The Beatles?

Four – there was the John side, the Paul side, the George side, and the Ringo side.

 

Where, when, and why did the Beatles open up the Apple store?

London, 1978, after the ‘look and feel’ lawsuit was concluded. In addition all four Beatles had to do press for Apple computers “Apple, it’s fab gear!”

Ringo had an interesting hobby, what was it?

Card counting.

Ringo went around hotels, motels, B&B’s and wherever else he stayed throughout the world with the Beatles and counted the cards in every deck of playing cards he could find, he then would document the number in his journal along with a picture of the cards taken with his camera. In the last year of the Beatles touring he had a video camera and would get someone to film him counting the cards, these movies would then be edited and later screened to friends and visitors to his home. 

After the Beatles split Ringo stopped this but after putting together the All-Starr Band he started up the hobby again. A DVD featuring 3 hours of footage, both from the 60’s and the late 80’s onwards is planned to be released tho no people appear – it’s just the back of Ringo’s head as he counts cards.

 

Why did the Beatles snub Imelda Marcos in July 1966?

There never will be a last song, Apple keep releasing “new” ones.

Paul is rumoured to have had many conquests in his single days. Who would you least expect to have been Paul’s paramour?

They both sound better than Pete Best’s version, so it’s a draw.

At the end of Strawberry Fields there is a weird noise. What, or who made it? And where else is it repeated in the Beatles canon?

Ringo sneezed at the end of his drumming and as was the times it was reversed, laced with echo, repeated and placed at the end of the track. The same noise was heavily slowed down at the beginning and gradually speeded up for the end of ‘A Day In The Life ‘ (echo removed but copied 4 times with a 0.005 second delay) to sound like an orchestra. People have been fooled ever since.

 

Who was the real inspiration for ‘Sgt Pepper ‘ and why did the Beatles feel drawn towards him for the album?

Musketeer Clapper.

They were drawn to him as a lonely heart because he had marital problems and they just plain felt sorry for him. Not sorry enough to name the album Musketeer Clapper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, mind you. That would have sounded silly.

Why was John selected to play a part in the movie How I Won The War?

Because he was the only person tall enough to be a harbor.

 

Why did Ringo learn how to play the guitar?

Because the others wouldn’t have him in the band if he didn’t. They wanted so desperately to prove to the Decca folk that guitar groups were NOT on the way out that they tried to get Ringo to play guitar too, so they’d be an all-guitar group. 

 

Did they succeed?

They were on the same flight as Buddy Holly and those other three chaps whose names I don’t recall. Fortunately for the world of music, not all of it died as the Beatles survived the crashnburn, though they were all quite phobic of fire afterwards. And airplanes. 

 

What did the Beatles go on to do after they had their first hit record?

He was the session musician George Martin wanted instead of Ringo and he played on the U.S. released version of Love Me Do , The Beatles first single.

 

When did John Lennon meet his father as an adult?

Before heading off for a year of service in the Peace Corps.

Who wrote the Autobiography of a Yogi that George enjoyed reading so much?

Welcome to the Beatles Bible Fab Forum, @bonzai21. I see that this crazy game caught your attention. Enjoy the madness!

Boo Boo. All the Beatles were massive fans. Gave the media a hell of a surprise tho when they found out who the Yogi was on their retreat to India but they didnt know that Yogi and Bo Boo had been forced out of Jellystone Park by Ranger Smith.

 

What was significant about the Beatles song ‘Yesterday ‘?
