It’s a TRICK QUESTION. Drive My Car wasn’t released in America until Yesterday … And Today, in 1966. (If I recall rightly.) 

Where did John Lennon meet Paul?

John Lennon met many Pauls in school but the only one who stuck was James, whom he didn’t meet in school at all, but rather in a walled garden which had been locked for ten years and the key buried. 

 

What was Ringo Starr ‘s very first acting credit?

John met Paul outside Joe’s cafe and they went for chip butties and coke. This was on the 11th May 1960; the day before they met outside John’s home. It would change depending on where they were going, were they were and what they were doing. Same with most people in life.

 

Ringo’s first acting credit was two drinks placed behind the bar for after filming when they would all meet up for drinks.

 

Why were the Meanies Blue?

Three’s Company. Unbeknownst to many at the time, the show actually first aired on Saturday, February 30th, 1967; and not the much later date it was originally thought to be.

 

What were the names of the Beatles’ three German friends who frequently watched their performances during their stays in Hamburg before they were famous?

What happens is someone who comes later (me) picks up her question and answers it. 

Ahhh Girl’s formerly unanswered question was 
What were the colors of the flowers mentioned in Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds ?

The colours of John’s dreams. Or was it his LSD trips? *Yellow Submarine narrator voice* I’m not too surea-hard-days-night-george-2 

Necko queried 

Why didn’t Stuart Sutcliffe release a solo album?

He couldn’t find any musicians who were willing to play with a dead man.

What does John supposedly intone at the end of Strawberry Fields Forever , and which conspiracy theory did it supposedly provide evidence for? a-hard-days-night-paul-4

“Cranberry Sauce.” It provided evidence for the conspiracy theory that John liked cranberry sauce.

Um, it’s at my house. I’m studying it. Although, it’s mostly just a conversation piece, really.

In fact he played lead piano but you know, as Ringo said, with the beatles pianos sounded like guitars and guitars like pianos , that’s how it happened.

 

What was the coffin and what was it used for?

It was a box they used to throw Pete Best’s drums into after a gig had finished. So named as his drumming killed their energy.

 

What did the critics say was the influence behind the song ‘Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds ‘? What did John claim otherwise?

The said it was (heavily) influenced by the manned moon landing. John replied that that hadn’t happened yet, and claimed it was going to happen in ’69 .

Paul’s. *Ex-Beatle interview storytelling voice* Because , y’see, John had this silly little tune kicking about, and he used to always play it whenever he got his hands on a guitar, and he’d had it for years and never did anything with it, and it was driving Paul mad, and so he kept pestering John to ‘DO something with it’, and so he finally did. a-hard-days-night-john-4

 

According to the Beatles, what is love? Is it this

The Beatles keep sweet-talking all the birds that were around the studio that day. Little did The Beatles know that THOSE BIRDS were the WIVES of the Decca men. Decca dudes decided they didn’t want The Beatles to keep coming around their wives. Too mich competition.

Most people would darn their socks when they are alone. Why is it so strange that Father MaKenzie would be darning his sock when nobody was there?
