Ooh! I'm not sure if you all know this already, but the song Layla was written by Eric Clapton about Patti Boyd, George Harrison's wife at the time, about his unrequited love and frustration that he couldn't be with her since, well, his buddy was married to her. sweatdrop

here's one Alice Cooper's first gig in highschool was a beatles impersonation they even paid off girls to be groupies

Ok, I have another one.

When Paul called up John to tell him he was leaving the band all John said was "Good! That makes two of us who have accepted it mentally."

An excerpt from Beatle! The Pete Best Story by Pete Best and Patrick Doncaster (page 136).

"My [Pete Best's] friendship with [Brian] Epstein continued during this period of change [1960] as he became more absorbed in the business. He even took me out to his family home in the smart suburb of Childwall to meet his father Harry and his mother Queenie. I was there for about half an hour and found it all very pleasant, without detecting any hint that his interest in me might be anything other than businesslike. But it did happen.

"We were having drinks after a lunchtime Cavern session when he asked me if I would mind if he called for me and took me for a drive that evening. It was a night when the Beatles were without an engagement, so we set of in Brian's smart Ford Zodiac, talking mainly about business, as we frequently did in his office.

"Blackpool lay ahead as he said: 'I have a very fond admiration of you.'

"'Me or the group?' I asked him, a bit confused. He made it clear that he meant me personally.

"We had reached the outskirts of the resort when he came to the point. 'Pete,' he said, 'would you find it embarrassing if I ask you to stay in a hotel overnight? I'd like to spend the night with you.'

"It didn't sound terribly shocking at the time, the way the question had been put and I admit that I didn't immediately realise that I was being propositioned. I hadn't experiened anything like this before. I told him that I would much prefer to go home, which we did. There was no argument, no scene.

"In retrospect it was obvious that he had wanted to start a relationship but there had been nothing nasty about it, nothing obscene, nothing dirty. It was a very gentle approach. He never again asked me to go for a drive with him and never returned to the subject of a relationship. We both carefully forgot about the journey to Blackpool and the conversation of that night."

Awesome!

Here's the picture!
