Didn't Mal Evans also claim to have written
"Yesterday", "Eleanor Rigby" and "Rain" as well? I
_think_ I read this in one of the thousands of Beatle
books my wife has accumulated over the years (much to
my dismay and, yes, resentment).
Does anyone else have a spouse/significant
other/lifepartner who loves a band that you hate? I
had a girlfriend back in college who was a huge Simply
Red fan; to this day, I abhor Simply Red (or Pimply
Dead, as I used to call them; this actually led to our
breaking up, if I recall; what a lying bitch!).
My wife loves Beatles more than she loves life,
itself. Her pride and joy is a coffee-stained scrap of
napkin autographed by Sir Paul himself; sometimes,
when she is extra annoying, I ponder its value on
eBay, and wonder what she'd do -- kill herself, kill
me, kill our pre-teenage daughter Hannahbarbara, have
a grand mal seizure -- if I actually sold her precious
little scrap right out from under her fallen arches.
I'm sure she'd swoon over one of George Harrison's
gallstones if she could find a set on eBay. I love
her, but it really can make for some tense,
uncomfortable, too-quiet-around-the-dinner-table
moments.
Not that I hate Beatles, mind you, but, I mean,
really, how many times can you listen to "Hey Jude" or
the _awful_, overplayed "Old Brown Shoe" before you
scream "Enough already!"?
I wish I could be in Silverlake for the Dukes of
Stratosphear reunion -- congratulations to Dave Bash
for pulling off this remarkable feat.
