Double full verses, and a refrain.

Reminded me, loosely, of Florence Ballard, one of the original “Supremes.” That was a terrible ending to a promising life. At least Pete Best seems to have turned out alright, with a family and a career, and some $$$ decades later.

I really thought this was going to be about Ringo. For a period of time after the Beatles had officially split up, there were reports/rumors that one of the issues was John’s low opinion of Ringo’s playing. Could have been pure speculation.

Supposedly, when John Lennon was asked if Starr was the best drummer in the world he replied, “The best drummer in the world? Ringo wasn’t even the best drummer in the Beatles!” [Referring to the fact Paul McCartney played drums on a few tracks] But Lennon didn’t actually say this.

The Beatles got their start, in Pete Best's mother's club basement, and they moved to The Cavern Club in Liverpool and the girls went crazy over Pete.

There were reports of the girls rioting like it was 2020, after Pete got fired.

Yes, that's the working theory. Best is still alive, but so far, he has not denied the allegation.   /s

He couldn’t afford to. He didn’t get his cut until the 90s.

Yoko is responsible for his death and the band’s demise.
