Cynthia says that she waited until now to put out her second book, in the hopes
that the "martyr factor" would die down and people would be more receptive to
it.
I'm a huge Beatles fam as well. Read TONS of books on 'em (Pete Shotton's was a
fave). While I have all the group's output, I have very little of the solo
stuff. A John comp, A Wings comp, and that's about it. I think I still have
George's "Cloud Nine" on vinyl.
I don't know if it would have been fun to meet John. In spite of all the great
stuff he wrote, he dosen't come off as a pleasant person. Read May Pang's book
for his thoughts on hardcore Beatle fans.
