Pete Best. It was the real reason he was sacked.
Which fruit, often mistaken as a vegetable, is mentioned more than once on the album Sgt Pepper ‘s Lonely Hearts Club Band?

Why did Pete Best marry John Lennon .
John had written a song called “The Ballad of John & Pete”, intending it to be the next Beatles single, and decided he needed his life to conform with his art, so a marriage to a “Pete” was necessary. But Pete Shotton turned him down, so he tried asking Peter Blake. Blake also said no, as did Peter Asher, Peter Tork of the Monkees, and Peter Noone of Herman’s Hermits. John was considering asking Peter O’Toole, then found out that Pete Best wasn’t busy, so John swallowed his pride and approached Best. To his surprise, Best had no hard feelings about the past, and agreed to the marriage in exchange for half of “…Ballad”‘s songwriting royalties. The single eventually appeared on the charts for two weeks, peaking at #129 and earned Pete enough money for a deluxe hamburger at Wimpy’s and a new pair of drumsticks. The marriage, however, wasn’t to last – in a way, the ’60s died the day their divorce was finalized, on 31 December, 1969.

Ron Nasty said “I only said we were bigger than Tea-sus, and now it’s all this.” There was religious backlash from the Church of Tea-sus, which led to tea being legalized.

He thought the chorus of Please Please Me said “Please beat Pete up man or I’ll beat you”. 5 seconds later, The Beatles explained that it was “Please Please Me oh yeah like I please you” and he then re-friended them.
For the music video to The Beatles 1966 hit song You Gotta Love For Your Right To Sing, why did they use whipped cream found in a dumpster to make the pies that they threw at each other’s faces.

Because the invitation specified it was BYOB (“Bring your own brown acid”)
However, one Beatle did surreptitiously attend the concert in disguise as a performer. What Beatle? and who was the performer?

The album expresses many of John’s dislikes with the modern world, such as how people use autotune instead of actually sing, Donald Trump being president, and how he thinks it was wrong for us to react to 9/11 with violence and war instead of peace and love.
Why was Billy Shears never charged with murdering Paul McCartney ?
