"On his return to Radio London in 1966, Everett was sent on an exciting mission to tour with The Beatles round America. This eventually lead to a long friendship with the Fab Four. Though at first, Everett didn’t have a clue how to interview anyone. For the first few days, the most penetrating question he asked any of them was “how’s it going?" Eventually, The Beatles took pity on him. Paul McCartney pulled him to one side and said if Everett asked him one question, he’d give an answer lasting ten minutes, which he did. He was the first DJ ever to play ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’ and ‘Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’. He even took acid with John Lennon, walking around his garden, both in a haze. Later Everett attended one of the recording sessions for the song ‘I Am The Walrus’. When Lennon reached the lines “sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun, but if the sun don’t come you get a tan from standing in the English rain”, he said to Everett “that’s about us, that day, remember?", Everett didn’t know what he was talking about."
I can't find it in there. Only a written reference to it sadly.

Kenny was great. I used to watch his TV show every night on video when I was younger. I didn't get most of his jokes at that age but I just loved his personality.
