Unless you were there, it's difficult to imagine just how radical rock 'n' roll sounded at the time. The only music that was played by the BBC, which had the monopoly over the airwaves, was as safe and proper as the mellifluous accent spoken by the Queen's equerry. (...)Rock 'n' roll, on the other hand, sounded sexy, unpredictable and dangerous. Which is why parents feared it... and we loved it.

[Diana Dors] stylist was a wonderful character called Ricci Burns(.)
"Ricci, what would you do with my hair?" one of the fashionable ladies on his chair would ask.
"Madam," he'd declare with mock seriousness, "this is a comb, not a magic wand."
And if Ricci received a tip that he considered ridiculously small, he'd hand back the coin with an air of concern:
"Excuse me, madam. I think you need it more than I do."

Existe um livro inteiro sobre o cabeleireiro dos Beatles? Que se segue? Um livro sobre o senhor que pintou a passadeira de Abbey Road? :D

Paula, precipitei-me quando contei os livros sobre os Beatles que tenho (e "sobre" é um termo muito vasto); tal como substimei a panaceia que a sua leitura representaria para mim neste momento. Se houver tal livro, provavelmente estará algures nestas estantes... Se lá chegar, ficamos a saber ;)
