Silly Girl said 

Which Beatle is the least highly underrated by hardcore non-Beatlemaniacs?   

 

Zig said 

Huh? 

 

How many Beatles would it take to decipher that question?  

Four, plus George Martin, Brian Epstein, Pete Best, Stuart Sutcliffe, Yoko Ono, Eric Clapton, a few other Fifth Beatles, and a couple Quarrymen. They came to the conclusion that it was part of the half of the stuff that Silly Girl says that is meaningless. 

 

Why did the Monkees outsell the Beatles in 1967?

They needed the money – they sold their furniture, cars, etc…

Who gave Ringo his first drum kit?

The buying public got confused as monkeys are deemed to be cuter than horrible crawly insects. Plus a monkey is far more expensive, you only need to sell one or two to make a load of cash. 

 

Why was Neil Apinall’s nickname Nell?

The person who completed his birth certificate was a poor speller.

I certainly didn’t. Far too vulgar a scenario to hear about. 

 

Why was ‘A Day In The Life ‘ banned from the BBC airwaves in 1967?

All of it was true. It was a documentary. 

 

What unusual hobby did John Lennon have?

Counting toenail clippings. He would pester anyone and everyone for clippings to add to his collection. He took them everywhere he traveled and, over the years, lost no more than 600 individual clippings. You can still see them today, lined up on the windowsill of his bathroom in the Dakota. 

 

Why didn’t Miss O’Dell call George?

She didn’t know his name. Otherwise, she could have looked up the number. 

 

Why did John Lennon choose the name Shaved Fish for his 1975 compilation?

Its the best way to listen to the album – when shaving fish. Its also after when John started recording the songs – he’d spend two hours shaving fish before he would even think of starting putting a track together.

 

Where did Ringo get his supply of drumsticks from?

Necko inquired discreetly

Bearded Fish just doesn’t have the same ring(o). And Stubbled Fish is even worse. 

meanmistermustard discreetly enquired

mal-evans 

 

Did George ever wax his eyebrows? If so, when?

Well, Shirley was really a Stones fan, you know. Some people never know…
