The Beatles #2: My Roman Empires but it's just The Beatles

When Paul was born his dad cried because he thought he was so ugly that he said “He looked awful, I couldn’t get over it. Horrible. He had one eye open, and he just squawked all the time. They held him up and he looked like a horrible piece of red meat. When I got home I cried, the first time for years and years.” - Jim McCartney

When Ringo took a whole suitcase full of Heinz beans to India and then left after 10 days because he ran out.

The scene in "How I Won the War" when John steals milk while laughing deviously and gets absolutely fucking obliterated.

A quote from a book I’m reading rn called “The Beatles” by Hunter Davies. “The first time Mrs. Harrison actually met John Lennon, she was in the kitchen when George brought him home. “ ‘Here’s John’ George shouted. ‘Hello, Mrs. Harrison’ John said, coming forward to shake my hand. Well, I don’t know what happened next. He somehow fell and as he did, fell on top of me and we both landed on the settee. Dad came in at that moment. You should have seen his face when he saw John on top of me! ‘What the devil’s going on here?’ George said, ‘It’s okay, Dad. It’s only John.’ “ -Mrs. Harrison

Another quote from “The Beatles” by Hunter Davies: “After we passed the scholarship, the teacher asked us who thought they had passed. Only one person put his hand up. He was a little fat lad who smelled. It was very sad, really. He turned out to be about the only one who didn’t pass.” - George Harrison

The time George got stabbed and put on a stretcher and said “So what do you think of the job so far?” to two people who just started working that weekend.

That one scene in "Hep!" where Ringo is hopping on beat with the tweets of a bird while George is throwing rocks at the camera for some fucking reason???
