It is thought they once discussed who should replace him. Since 1969, many people have speculated Brian was replaced by a lookalike known as Frian…ahdn_paul_02a-hard-days-night-john-7

What clues are there about Frian?

In the song Wooden Onion it is stated that (im sorry i couldn’t help it) The walrus was Brian; on the Abbey Street album the licence plate on a car reads EIR 1969 (Eppy is replaced, 1969?); And on a certain song ,if you listen to it backwards, you can hear MANAGER DEAD MAN

How was this theory debunked?

Because Ms. Ida No realised that it had to be George Martin instead (because he was the one who planted the clues in the song ‘Mango Plantations Forever’). Ms. Ida No received her own talk show for realising this. 

 

Which Beatle did she famously interview on her talk show? What was the only thing they talked about?

Paul. Here’s that famous interview in it’s entirety:

Ida: So, Paul, I hear you have a new album coming out next month.

Paul: Yeh, it’s great, y’know.

Ida: Could you tell us a bit about this new album?

Paul: Well, y’know, I wrote all the songs on it, and y’know, I arranged the music like any other album, y’know.

Ida: Paul, I notice you like using the phrase “y’know” a lot. Could you perhaps use it less, please, as I feel it takes away from the discussion for me.

Paul: Oh. Sorry. I get like that sometimes… *pauses* …y’know.

*Ida sighs* Let’s try and move away from that. Anyways, what would you say was your favourite song to work on for the album?

Paul: I think Come On To Me, because when I see the love subject of the song, you know she knew she wanted more than casual conversation, y’know.

Ida: *facepalm*

Paul: Woops. Sorry again.

Ida: Okay. Let’s change the subject. What would you consider your favourite songs to have worked on with The Beatles? I mean, it must have been amazing to work with those three guys.

Paul: You Know My Name (Look Up The Number), that was fun, y’know, or maybe Your Mother Should Know , or–

Ida: I give up. *walks out*

Why didn’t George need no Wah-Wah anymore?

He don’t need no Wah-Wah because he got a fuzz pedal instead!

 

John’s Nutopian International Anthem once faced a copyright claim against it. What was the song John allegedly ripped off?

Revolution 1 ,336. This was recorded after the other three Beatles had gotten fed up and walked out of the studio, leaving a palpable silence hanging in the air — which John and Yoko duly recorded.

Who was the Beatles’ first manager?

We won’t see him. The “me” is refering to Paul himself. It’s a song written right before his disappearance under strange circumstances. A case later known as “PID”.
What does “PID” stands for?

That would be a “psychedelically induced deduction”, like when you and your hippie friends take a lot of dope and spin the latest Rutles album, and stare at the picture of Dirk McQuickley on the cover until you suddenly realize “OMG that picture hasn’t breathed atall atall atall in the last few minutes! Therefore Dirk is D-E-A-D! That’s obviously why he’s never called me…”

Which White Album track was recorded live at the Hollywood Bowl concert?

(By the way, @Von Bontee, it’s Stig that’s dead. I was there when he exited the Air India plane before the steps had been put in place. It’s quite a drop.)

What happened in the back seat of a car driving through London between John and Bob Dylan in 1966?

Best not to answer that question on a public forum… Let’s just say that Cynthia wasn’t impressed…

 

Taxman ‘ features the names of two people in it. Who are those people, and why did the Beatles include them?

Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan. The brains behind Lennon and McCartney. The composers behind each and every single Beatles’s track. They included their own names to let everybody know the truth behind the myth.
What was John and Paul reaction to this? Why, when, where?
