What percentage of the venues the Beatles played are now demolished? Name a few of the more notable ones. 

Ninety percent of them were demolished when the Beatles played there… crazy fans. Shea Stadium, San Francisco’s Cow Palace, Albert Hall (they left it with 4,000 holes). 

 

Which of George’s guitars got smashed by oncoming traffic?

I don’t know, but it’s been weeping ever since. 

 

Today is Elvis’ birthday. How did John react after first hearing about Elvis’ fatal heart attack in 1977?

John kept referring to him as Lord High Iguana Bossman, and it got on his nerves.

Why wouldn’t Martin produce Let It Be ?

They were all non Beatle people. Doubles were used for all except Billy Preston who appeared as himself. 

During the Our World performance of ‘All You Need Is Love ‘, what flavor was John’s chewing gum?

The flavour of his dreams. It was the colour of his dreams, too. Fortunately, because colour television in 1967 wasn’t what it is today, nobody noticed that John had a purple tongue. 

 

What was George’s favourite flavour lolly?

Why did the Queen say no to pot-smoking FBI members?

EDIT: and why would the Queen hold any sway over USA FBI members?

She had her own stash so didnt need any, she got her pots and pans from Harrods.

She didnt hold sway, they just amused her with the thought. Really the Queen says in a small semi-detached house in Coventry with a patch of grass out back to keep her pet corgi happy. All the glamour and fancy palaces are just to get money from visitors.

 

What was the reason for John leaving India and the Maharishi in 1968?

He could only handle having one form of BS in his life, and he had to make room for primal scream therapy.

 

Which Beatle has published a study in a peer-reviewed scientific journal and what was the subject?

He was chased out by Bernard Purdie after his claims of being Ringo were accepted by a majority of 10 to 2 in a Court of Law. 

 

Before the introduction of the concept of Time in 1965 how did the Beatles know when a gig was to end?

To cover for their moans of pleasure ohhh AAAHHH ohhh AHHH, it was a cyclic thing.

Did George write Don’t Pass Me By as a comment, and if so, why did he get Ringo to sing it?

Yes. It was a comment to Paul and John for them to not pass him by when splitting their song royalties. He got Ringo to sing it as John and Paul might actually listen to the track instead of playing one of their own tracks.

 

Why was Phil Spector brought into work on the album that would become ‘Let It Be ‘?

He wasn’t, he just found the tapes scattered around by Abbey Road and decided to see how much he could ruin them. He had no idea it was the Beatles.

What is the Frog Chorus and why is it (in)famous?
