Может не желание быть похожим, может он просто попал под влияние. Насколько я понимаю, если к нему найти подход то его можно убедить в чем угодно. Ко времени встречи с Йоко отношения между битлами были не очень хорошие, Пол фактически стал лидером группы, и вряд ли это нравилось Джону, но сам он не знал к чему дальше приложить энергию, а Йоко нашла для него что-то новое. Думаю, что до встречи с Йоко Джон не мог себе и представить до чего дойдут ссоры в группе.

Sorry, ему 60.

Шутка от Битлз:
Пресса: Что Вы подумали, когда двигатель самолета начал дымить?
Ринго: Первыми - Битлз, женщины и дети!

Press: Does it bother you that you can't hear what you sing during concerts?
John: No, we dont mind. We've got the records at home.

Press: How did you find America?
John: Turn left at Greenland.

Press: Are you a mod or a rocker?
Ringo: I'm a mocker.

Press: Are you afraid military service might break up your careers?
John: No. There's no draft in England now. We're going to
let you do our fighting for us.

Press: Are you going to have a leading lady for the film you're about to make?

Wouldn't you rather sit on your fat wallets?

Press: Beethoven figures in one of your songs. What do you think of Beethoven?

John: Well, there'll be many more but I don't know whether
you can look forward to them or not.

Press: Did you really use four letter words on the tourists in the Bahamas?
John: What we actually said was "Gosh".
Paul: We may have also said "Heavens!".
John: Couldn't have said that, Paul. More than four letters.

Press (to George): Did you write "Ringo's Theme"?
George: No, did you? You haven't been reading the little bits of paper,
have you, that says who writes "Ringo's Theme"?

Press: Do you worry about smoking in public? Do you think it might set
a bad example for your younger fans?
George: We don't set examples. We smoke because we've always smoked.
Kids don't smoke because we do.
They smoke because they want to. If we changed we'd
be putting on an act. Ringo (whispering): We even drink.

Press: Does all the adulation from teenage girls affect you?
John: When I feel my head start to swell, I look at Ringo and
know perfectly well we're not supermen.

Press: George, is the place you were brought up a bit like Greenwich Village?
George: No, more like the Bowery.

Press: Girls rushed toward my car because it has press
identfication, and they thought I met you. How do you explain

John: How does it feel to be put on?

Press: How tall are you, Ringo?
Ringo: Two feet, nine inches.

Press: Is it true none of you can read or write music?
Paul: None of us can read or write music. The way we work is like,
we just whistle. John will whistle at me and I'll whistle back at him.

Press: Is it true you can't sing?
John (pointing to George): Not me. Him.

We're going to stay in our hotel except for concerts.

Подобных вещей еще много в нете, к сожалению адреса не осталось.

По-моему Пол сказал после награждения: "Я удивляюсь почему сейчас со мной нет тех троих, с кем я получал орден много лет назад"

Мне кажется, что нельзя говорить вообще о Битлз без кого-либо из них. Разве это были бы битлз без того-же Ринго? Да и вообще здесь все не воспринимают его всерьез, он не просто "хороший парень", а все таки еще и "Octopusis Garden" написал! Разве эта песня хуже других, разве без нее альбом был бы полным?
НЕТ, БИТЛЗ- ЭТО ИМЕННО 4, ИМЕННО ЭТИХ ЧЕЛОВЕКА!

А что за лоток? А что за каталог на 40 страниц? Буду очень признательна, если подскажете!
P.S.
А фильм-супер!

А где этот фильм увидеть можно может у кого- есть? Для меня любой фильм, в котором хоть пара кадров с Битлами есть, представляет огромный интерес!

Монстр66-спасибо!
Мои опасения насчет перевода подтвердились.

Кстати, насколько я помню Пол Маккартни хотел стать учителем, до поездки в Гамбург. Интересно, что бы у него из этого получилось? А то его взял да отговорил плохой пацан Джон.:-)))

Голубяка, спасибо. А последнюю строчку по-русски можно, а то чего-то трудно доходит. На записи кто-то вдали после нее смеется. Всегда хотелось знать- почему?

Битловедение в школе- мечта еще не кончегося детства!

Что поет Джон в пародии на Yesterday?(Antology)
