Thank you. I didn't know they were funny. I appreciate them even more now.

In the same interview, they ask what "Eleanor Rigby" is about. Lennon: "Two queers."

Have you seen the Animaniacs' parody of "A Hard Day's Night"? I didn't even know it existed until recently.

I love A Hard Day's Night (movie). Had to watch it for a music appreciation class because my teacher has a hard on for the Beatles.

Watched it a lot in high school cause I had/have a hard on for the Beatles. Well if he's your grandfather who knowshahahHAHAHAHAHA

Before this class, I couldn't even name you the Beatles. 3 weeks in, I know so many songs and have learned stuff on the guitar too.

I like your teacher. Enjoy the class :)

John Lennon never said anything about Ringo as a drummer not being good.

The shame about that last one as people took it as a statement of truth.
OSCgal
IKR? People probably won't give Ringo the credit he deserves until after he dies.

Or that they mindlessly believe it's a real quote, without bothering to look for the (non-existent) source.

British comedian Jasper Carrott in 1983.

They never said that.
GameDayBucketGoBoom
They actually did say that. It's in one of their documentaries. They even said Paul was the best drummer in the band.

Bullshit.

It was a joke by British comedian Jasper Carrott in 1983. If you think you've heard Lennon say it, you're mistaken.
cpanda
Athere is no record of it being said and was traced to a joke made by a British comedian. Anyway, he was the best drummer in the band.
mcsofserv
I researched it and retract my comment (should've googled first). It's weird that Lennon never explicitly denied saying it.
cpanda
Because the joke was made after he died. Plus there are so many stories about The Beatles they can't take it seriously.
rouletto
Why were they like that? For kicks or were they stoned?
FaecalEncephalopathy
It's from their movies.
Guyser
Plus they were bright and extremely bored with same stupid reporter questions everywhere they went.

Yeah, but they really were like that. Being smart-assed was a part of Liverpool culture.

I've heard it said that Ringo was not lucky to get in The Beatles, The Beatles were lucky to get Ringo
cpanda
The fact they actively sought Ringo out to replace Pete Best after EMI hated the latter tell you something.
jaminjimmyjames
Sounds like something Paul would say

Paul would say it, George would sincerely believe it.

Have you read Lennon's bio? He was a sexist. Just saying. Beatle's soul is sexist?

Whatever. People are sheep. He was rude to women. Keep believing he and Marilyn were perfect when you know nothing about them
LearnedCoward
He was the first to admit he was sexist.
ratfaceddog
"Lennon's bio." Like there's just one.
shawnemack
That line about to ringo not being the best drummer always gets me
SJohnson23
Seriously, Lennon never said it - it was a British comedian called Jasper Carrott in 1983.
ExperimentKraj
As a drummer, he's a hack and it makes me so mad he's so famous.
ratfaceddog
Here are some quotes from people with FAR more credibility than you: http://www.dmbeatles.com/forums/index.php?topic=10139.0
raviolihummingbird
What's a "hack"? Sounds like something out of the Matrix
homerinchinatown
As a drummer, my appreciation of Ringo has grown a lot over the years. Maybe yours will too...
ratfaceddog
I've never heard a drummer who could nail the groove to "Get Back" or "Rain" say that.
ExperimentKraj
..."Get Back"? He hemorrhages tempo on the studio version, and at one point he almost completely fails to get back on beat after a fill.
haveyouforgotten
can you give specifics (with reference to lyrics)? I think Get Back is a great track & can't hear any problems with the percussion.
SometimesISayHistoryStuff
Huh, I had always read that Ringo was the friendly guy who kept Lennon, Paul, and Harrison from throwing bitch fits and murdering each other
HowardMoonsHotpants
That's interesting to hear and might possibly move me from disliking him due to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAU0l7325w0
CindyTheTVsLeaking
Aww... well, to be fair, the poor guy is like 107 years old. I'm sure he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life signing things for fans.
HowardMoonsHotpants
Yeah, fair enough, it's just the way he comes across. I've never heard of anyone warning people with 'peace and love' before!
CthulhuandOdinareBFFs
At least he's honest. I'm sure there's plenty of rock/pop stars that have a secretary take care of it and never sign anything from fan mail.

He hit Cyn once in the fifties, then promptly never did it again, and he never raised a hand to Yoko.
Stevefromaccounting
How does this change the humour of Georges perfect girl being John's wife? It's not like he said they all come together and beat her
homerinchinatown
"Come together.... right now.... over me wife... and beat her...." - first draft of lyrics
pgdave
I used to be cruel to my woman I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved
yellowsub99
What IS funny is that years later it's George's best friend old Slowhand that decides his favorite type of girl is George's wife Patti...
OSCgal
Meanwhile, George decides that *his* favorite kind of girl is Ringo's wife Maureen...

Ah yes, Slowhand. Otherwise known as Eric "Wogs out, coons out" Clapton.

Not trying to advocate the devil but he only slapped her once and later come to deeply regret it
QuasiIntellectualChimpanzee
I've read he was really trying to reconnect with his first son and atone at the time he was shot.
SoupIsNotAMealVera
Yeah, I read that biography she wrote (because I have no life) and she said the only physical abuse he gave *her* was that one slap.
AverageSexGod
He did admit to hitting several other teenage sweethearts though. On top of being often unfaithful and publicly calling his son an accident.
shatter3ddr3ams
Is that so? I've seen a lot of sources that explicitly call John a woman-beater, and I'd be pleased to know if that's mostly incorrect

You mean "Getting Better" perhaps?
javer80
How do you listen to an album on repeat for six years and mix the damn songs up? Thanks, buddy.
MetalSkeletal
Yeah, but on the other hand, it was Yoko Ono.
QuasiIntellectualChimpanzee
I think they're referring to John's first wife.
selfishparsley
He never hit Yoko. He hit Cynthia once when they were teenagers, and he promptly never did it again.
NurseSlacky
Is this the basis for the lyric "I used to be cruel to my woman and beat her" in Getting Better? That line always disturbed me.
selfishparsley
I believe so, even tho Paul sings the lyric!
ICantThinkOfAU
Hitting somebody once as a teenager sounds very different to "used to beat the crap out of her" Think the guy might have been overselling it
selfishparsley
John had a bad temper- it was definitely his worst fault. But Cynthia has never said he beat her constantly. She told him if he were to 1/2
selfishparsley
2/2 hit her again she'd never speak to him again. He then stopped- at the time he didn't want to lose her. He repented.
TheHuntedSnark
When Lennon said that the Beatles were bigger than Jesus, the US press took it at face value and a shitstorm ensued.
JamesSylar
Since then, Jesus and the Beatles had been in a death match, but we all know Ringo would bury us all.
HarunRasheed
I don't think he said 'bigger than Jesus'. He said 'more popular than Jesus'. This comment 'bigger than Jesus' was made by Noel Gallagher.

With the irony being, if they'd read the context, that Lennon thought that this was a bad thing.

That was the thing: He was trolling with the truth. American Pastors told their flock to burn Beatles records.

"but we don't have any Beatles stuff" "then you better buy a shitload of it so you can burn it!" Beatles become insanely rich.
