Quoted from Beatles


but they were in India supposed to be meditating and they couldn't keep themselves from writing songs.



I wouldn't get too hung up on the idea of The Beatles going to India and being all holy. Deepak Chopra, one of the maharishi's spiritual chaps, says they were doing plenty of drugs, including LSD, while at the ashram. I'd be quite confident in saying celibacy wasn't that high on the list either, so the thought of them carrying on songwriting isn't so strange. And seeing that it was the first time in a while that they had spent so much time together it doesn't appear out of place.
Also, after Revolver no doubt none of them were too sure what to do next, so it's not suprising that their productivity took a tempory dive

Anyone else ever notice in the movie 'Help' when the boys are in disguise,they actually all look like what they were about to look like a few years later(if you catch my drift!ha)
Ie: john with the long hair and long beard.....


Good Point! I just finished watching the movie for the first time last week and I couldn't stop myself from laughing our of amusement and astonisment at how similar they appeared to their future selves (especially John with the beard!! and Ringo!)  

For the "Paperback Writer/Rain" promo video what was the point of the one at Chiswick House?  I know the one of them in the studio was for the Ed Sullivan show but where did the outdoor one actually air?

The promo for Rain was shown on BBC - Top Of The Pops (9 June). Btw, the promo for PW was not not made specifically for The Ed Sullivan show.


I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.
