I
was
too
young
to
get
caught
up
in
BEATLEMANIA
but
recently
had
my
own
Beatlemania
(reading
all
I
could
about
them,
buying
their
music,
films,
etc.)
While
I
certainly
appreciate
their
talent
and
contributions
to
the
world
of
music
and
even
to
the
evolution
of
society,
I
find
them
as
individuals
to
be
spoiled-
ASSHOLES!
That's
my
opinion,
based
on
my
personal
research
about
them.
Basically,
John
Lennon
was
the
tortured
genius.
In
actuality
he
was
a
nasty
bit
of
work-cruel
to
just
about
everyone.
He
seems
to
think
the
world
owed
him.
Paul
McCartney
was
the
master-musician.
All
things
considered,
he
could
have
pretty
much
been
The
Beatles
all
by
himself
(he
even
said
as
much
in
a
Circus
(rock
magazine)
article
shortly
after
their
breakup.
Paul
was
self-centered
and
very
stingy
(with
money
and
giving
dues
to
others.)
George
Harrison
was
all
about
the
money
and
second
only
to
Lennon
in
his
disdain
toward
"bothersome"
fans.
Ringo
Starr
let
his
less-than-stellar-talent
evolve
into
an
ego
for
compensation.
Often
times
attempting
to
demonstrate
his
"greatness"
with
larger-than-life
failures
(like
gutting
the
Apple
Corps
Bldg
to
create
a
Film
Scoring
Facility
on
the
roof,
which
when
all
was
said
and
done,
basically,
created
a
lot
of
unemployed
workers
and
of
course
the
facility
never
completed.
Worse
the
unemployed
workers
never
compensated.)
Perhaps,
the
saddest
fallout
of
all
things
BEATLES,
was
the
people
along
the
way
that
helped
"make"
The
Beatles,
were
never
dully
appreciated
much-less
properly
compensated.
This
includes
workers
and
family.
With
al
their
"fame
and
fortune"
The
Beatles
never
"shared"
with
the
others.
Mal
Evans
was
The
Beatles
go-to-guy
(rumored
to
have
conceptionalized
the
bulk
of
Sgt.
Pepper)
was
pretty
much
tossed
aside
after
the
Beatles
breakup.
Down
&
out
in
LA
he
ended
up
being
shot-down
by
LAPD
over
a
simple
misunderstanding.
Dead
(and
destitute)
not
one
Beatle
attended
his
funeral
or
offered
to
help
out
with
the
expenses.
Apparently,
over
the
years
Mal
had
collected
things
like
The
Beatles'
guitar
picks,
combs,
scraps
of
paper
with
lyrics,
etc.
souvenirs;
his
family
tried
to
auction
them
to
help
their
financial
situation
but
BILLIONAIRE-BEATLE
Sir
Paul
McCartney
put
a
stop
to
it!
He
said
the
"stuff"
belonged
to
the
Beatles
(bearing
in
mind,
those
people
often
went
far
&
beyond
the
call
of
duty
for
the
sake
of
The
Beatles
and
were
never-ever
properly
compensated
for
their
efforts-then
and
apparently
not
now
either!
Again,
The
Beatles
(most
especially
Paul
McCartney)
are
real
assholes!
Obviously,
my
opinion
is
a
broad-swipe
based
on
my
limited
information
but
as
a
fan
that's
pretty
much
all
the
"access"
I
have
so
it
is
what
it
is.
The
Beatles
were/are
the
greatest
rock
and
roll
band
ever
but
they're
also
perhaps
the
biggest
pricks
ever
too!
Paul
McCartney
worries
more
about
being
thought
of
as
second-fiddle
to
John
Lennon
instead
of
being
remembered
as
"fair"
(and
caring.)
Trust
me
Sir
Paul,
as
far
as
legacy
goes,
your
talent
speaks
for
itself-you're
equal,
if
not
a
better
musician
than
Lennon.
What
you
should
focus
on,
is
"not"
being
perceived
as
a
"self-centered-tightwad!"
Because,
as
a
fan,
your
talent
is
obvious
to
me
but
what
concerns
me
is
your
personality-are
you
the
kind
of
guy
I
would
sat
down
in
a
pub
with
and
down
a
pint
or
the
jerk-off
I
wouldn't
even
give
the
time
of
day
to?
In
other-words,
do
I
care
enough
about
you
as
an
artist
to
properly
support
you?
To
some,
this
"artist-to-fan-relationship,"
can
be
huge-
(maybe
even
the
difference
in
them
going
out
and
buying
your
music
as
opposed
to
simply
downloading
it
from
a
torrent
or
the
like.)
Fans
matter
McCartney!
And
we
hate
pricks!
Remember
Sir
Paul;
Mick
Jagger
is
his
own
best
fan
(and
apparently,
his
own
best
friend
too-according
to
his
band-mate,
Richards!)
