You know, we talk about Pete Best and his former affiliation with the Beatles and how much it must have hurt him to be discharged from their inner circle.
But I was just thinking - who are the other Pete Bests in the Beatles' lives? Consider former girlfriends. How many a woman may have thought they found true love in a Beatle only to find themselves on the lonesome at some point, perhaps never being in contact with their beloved Beatle again? Imagine if your Prince Charming was a Beatle, albeit briefly. Some of those rejections or separations were probably conducted as a matter of course without explanation or apology. Did you ever experience a silent separation from someone? It could be like they're gone and they don't call you anymore.
Think of other people who perhaps worked for the Beatles in some capacity. Then one day that employment ended. No more access to the Beatles exclusive piece of the Universe. Perhaps no more one-on-ones in terms of jokes and everyday familiarities.
Yes, I think there's people like this in the world. I call them "the other Pete Bests" of the Beatles World.
