None – the moon comes to THEM, like in George’s song “Here Comes The Moon”

 

Fill in the blank: “—– —- —– — —-“

Paul: Yeah well… first of all, we’re bringing out a ‘Stamp Out Detroit’ campaign.

Which one, there are 21 blanks? Are twenty not blank but are blank and this is a puzzle?

“—– —- -e— — —-“

Not sure about that.ahdn_paul_01

Which meal did Paul famously and prophetically order for lunch during the 23rd January 1969 ‘Get Back ‘ sessions? And for a bonus point – why was it so prophetic?

Brown. It was the “new black” that fashion year.

Does Paul wish he still had his leather jacket from Hamburg?

In Hamburg. Pete taught him.

What musical instrument did Martha, Paul’s cat, play? (Hint: Paul taught her)

The Who Carnio Flunx.

She was a part time stand in for the Who who played triangle.

Being four footed, she could play it at any angle.

She’d play and she’d play and…what? Oh, sorry…

The one who had a nervous break down and the song Helter Skelter came to him in a dream. At first he was going to give the song away to the Rolling Stones, but his mates stopped him before he could do so. Aren’t we all so glad!

What happened during the historic meeting between The Beatles and Ronald Reagan?

Reagan was about to give them the Presidential Medal Of Freedom, but then he remembered that the Beatles weren’t American citizens, so he took it back at the last minute.

 

What early 1960’s R&B song was proposed as a cover during the With The Beatles sessions but ultimately left unrecorded?

They played the backing music as Tutankhamen was mummified. This deed was discovered in 1923 when they found one of Ringo’s drum sticks in the tomb.

 

What comment did John Lennon make during the Beatles performance before the Queen Mother in November 1963 which led to her to exile him to America for most of the following year?

The British are coming. The British are coming. His exile proved to be prophetic and helped to lay the ground for the British invasion.

Name one song The Beatles sang on the Ed Sullivan show.
