Great thread Mr. M.!
Maybe it should have been 'Favourite Waist of Space?
Neil Aspinall.
Magic Alex definitely did a job on John, didn't he! |

poor Neil...never gets the respect that Derek or Mal got..lol (ps: that little bit of footage they had of Alex in Anthology shows what a dork he was.. u can tell right there he was NEVER gonna finish the new Apple recording studio at Saville Row..it was a joke. The boys were duped...like they were w/ Maharishi (aka, Sexy Sadie himself  ) |

Magic Alex, what a character. This guy said he could invent a force field of colored air to keep onlookers from seeing into buildings, and making a flying saucer. Some of his ideas, actually, would eventually come into use, like telephones that could dial a number with spoken instructions and display the numbers of incoming calls. |

True, but bear in mind that Magic Alex was no visionary. What someone (George Martin?) speculated was that he had a subscription to Popular Mechanics, which certainly discussed things like voice dial and force shields. Magic A just dressed them up and fed them to the Beatles, who hadn't a clue. He actively hid from the engineers because they'd call his bluff in a second. He was a television-repair guy before he met the Beatles; he had that much technical background--enough to put him beyond the Beatles, but he was no Leonardo da Vinci. |

Alex had probably been watching Star Trek!
To his credit, he's never since tried to cash in on his association with them. Maybe because it would just end up making him look bloody stupid! |

I can't see how he could ever present himself in a positive light. |

Hey, Ron Popeil is a cultural icon. " ... that's Murray Hill 7, 0 Seven Hundred" "And if you order before midnight tonight ..." Right up there with the Chia Pet. |
