Mona was furious. She did a ton for those boys and then to sack her son when they get their record deal
tkitna: Yeah, I was thinking that, too. She and Pete really helped those boys along in the early years. We'll never know what would have happened without her and Pete's roles in their lives. And as a mother, she had to have felt so bad for Pete. I know I would probably have hated the Beatles if I were Pete's dad.
Still, I wonder how she came to grips with it. For both her and Pete, their world wide fame was always staring them in the face. I mean how do you deal with something like that? What do you tell yourself in order to cope? If Pete told himself, "Yeah, I was a bad drummer; I couldn't keep a steady beat; and I never smiled," that certainly wouldn't have made him feel better about being fired. We all like to see ourselves in a favorable light. So, I think, there was nothing Pete could tell himself in order to feel better.
So, yeah, I think it would be interesting to learn more about Mona's life after the Beatles.
