Aunt Mimi always treated John as Brian's mother treats her son in Monty Python's Life of Brian:'He's not the Messiah.He's a very naughty boy!'On the release of Two Virgins, with its cover photograph of John and Yoko naked, she made her feelings all too clear:'It would have been all right, John, but you're both so ugly. Why don't you get somebody attractive on the cover if you've got to have someone completely naked?'

(.)everyone on the plane began to panic.
(.)Ringo simply stared at the fire. Paul tried to act cool, but Kane noticed that he was biting his lip. George ran to the back, saying, 'Beatles and children first'.
John(.)could not hide his terror. He looked at the fire, said, 'Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit', ran to the emergency door handle.
'Are you crazy! You'll get us all killed.'
But John was not to be put off by logic.

In November 1963, two hundred women working at a cotton mill in Accrington went on strike after their foreman banned them from listening to the radio programme Housewives' Choice: he was sick of the way they would start to scream the moment a Beatles song came on.

There is a scene in Help!(.)filmed in the Bahamas(.)Meanwhile, the area was surrounded by nets to keep sharks at bay. Victor Spinetti watched as Ringo kept leaping overboard for take after take, only to be picked up and hoisted back onto the yacht, shivering.

Throughout the Beatles' tour of the UK, reporters struggled to describe the sound of thousands of adolescents screaming at the top of their voices. 'I have not attended the mass torture or execution of 5000 assorted farmyard animals', wrote the Newcastle Journals reporter Rodney Pybus. 'But I imagine the noise they would make would be very similar to that which forced my fingertips deep into my ears'.

There are over a thousand Beatles tribute acts in the world today. Many of them — the Tefeatles from Guatemala, Rubber Soul from Brazil, the Nowhere Boys from Colombia, Abbey Road from Spain — have now been together longer than the Beatles themselves: Britain's Bootleg Beatles and Australia's Beatnix have both been going for forty years.

A mãe do John deve ter sido das poucas recém mães que franziu a testa quando lhe puseram o bebé nos braços. 😅😂

Está explicado. Achei que a tia Mimi era a mãe do John. 😅
Fez as vezes da mãe, Fátima. A única coisa que desculpa os comentários azedos ;)
