Not a fruit, it’s after a Paul, indeed.

Why isn’t Paul  holding the trumpet (as it was his first instrument) in the Sgt. Pepper ‘s cover?

He was sick of it after (unsuccessfully) attempting to play it on Only A Northern Song

George Martin also banned him from ever getting near a trumpet again. 

 

Why ever in the world did George M. ever let Paul near the thing in the first place?

Because he was Paul Friggin’ McCartney…that’s why.

What was the inspiration for the song “I Saw Her Standing There “?

The number 17 was a recurring symbol in Paul’s dreams, so he wrote a song about it. 

 

Why did George Martin let George Harrison (unsuccessfully attempt to) play violin on All You Need Is Love

He couldn’t say no considering he let Paul play trumpet on ‘Only A Northern Song ‘. Anything went after that.

 

What line was Yoko going to sing in ‘Hey Jude ‘ and why didn’t it happen?

“The ‘We know what the hell we’re doing as we have a firm plot and are well organised’ Film.” Can’t get more false than that.

Tea. He poured the tea on his toast and ate it with a side of hash*. Needless to say it was a very soggy meal. 

 

What kind of bottleneck did George use? 

 

*Not the kind he was dragged to court for. This kind.

Which Beatle had odd-coloured eyes, like David Bowie? 

According to the current unfinished state of my latest work-in-progress, George did.

None since David Bowie didn’t have weird colored eyes, he had a dilated pupil.

 

Do any Beatles write fanfiction? And if so, of what?

How many iguanas must a Beatle walk down? (It’s more than 42 we checked).

Where does the “crowd ambience” at the begining of Sgt. Pepper come from?

The audience that they performed in front of.  Duh!

 

How well did Paul actually know Lovely Rita ?  Was the song just a giant exaggeration?

It’s one of the mysteries surrounding The Beatles. Lewisohn is tracking down some leads. Perhaps he will have a definitive answer for us before he publishes volume 2.

How many books did the Paperback Writer get published?
