Lot of people don’t know— the Beatles got their start in a basement coffeehouse conceived and built with help of Pete Best’s mum. His mum was East Indian extraction, his Dad career Brit Army. His mum put all her savings on a horse to win... and did. Bought the huge house and then they put together a coffeehouse for what became the Beatles. Never would have happened without Best’s mum . Website somewhere on this with lots of photos of them painting it etc. FWIW.

When Freda Kelly, just a shy Liverpool teen, signed on to work for a local band with big dreams she had no idea she would soon hold the most coveted secretarial position in the world. While history observes that the Beatles were together for 10 years, Kelly served them for 11...

The Beatles were a true revolutionary group. I liked a lot of their music, But I never considered them a rock and roll band.

I grew up with blues and the rock that morphed out of creative efforts by the likes of Chuck Berry and others. While the Stones picked up on a lot of that bloodline, the Beatles were in a different world. A lot of it good. But, most of it second rate, to me. When I listen to music I like stuff that makes me tap my toe or bounce my knee.

To this day I can't understand why anyone would spend money on a McCartney concert.

Let’s see.......1964 to 2013 is....almost 50 years. Let’s subtract 50 years from 1964....that would be 1914. Were the people in the 60s going on about groups from 1914?

Actually, what I found most amusing about the beatles was how all the little girlies that loved them so made the term “bug off” so, ummm, ‘groovy’ because the beatles were heard to utter it so often. No one ever seemed to catch on in the USA that the beatles were not saying “bug off”, they were saying “bugger off!”. I still have to smile when I hear someone using that phrase...

One of the things that’s really amazing is that if we still had a constitutional copyright law, the entire Beatles catalog would be in the public domain now.

One of my relatives has a Freda Kelly drawing. Nice moustache.
