Where's Paul?

Is it me or Ringo always has an Elvis smirk on him?

It always surprises me how much Julian is the spitting image of his father.

There was a royalties dispute between Paul and Yoko (which eventually they would resolve). She laid in to him saying "John would have been here".

Ringo does put on a "character". He is by far the most theatrical of the bunch. Hence the name "Ringo"... what Richard wasn't good enough?

Julian does look a lot like John. I always feel sad for Julian, he got the shaft in the dad department. When he was a kid John was never around and when he was I think he was less than an ideal father. Then John straightens up and gives all his attention to Sean Lennon and then just as John is becoming a better father towards Julien some d-bag shoots him.

If you like the Beatles and from our conversations I know you do, you really ought to read this: http://www.amazon.com/Here-There-Everywhere-Recording-Beatle...

A really fantastic read.

Yeah, what a fascinating perspective on the Beatles at this time. Such an extraordinary group.

Agreed. I think the Stones are fascinating too which is one of the reasons I enjoyed watching this so much.

It's definitely on my list. I tried buying from Amazon, but those shipping rates, yikes! A quick search reveals my friendly local big ass bookshop has it in stock.

Time to open them wallets.

Good read. Kinda wish I was reading it for the first time again. Don't feel guilty about this purchase!
