I’ll Beatle You To It
(I am on vacation with my family and in the eighth grade, wearing a Beatles T-shirt. As we are buying food for lunch at a grocery store, the cashier notices my shirt and starts quizzing me as he’s checking out our food.)
Cashier: “What was their original name?”
Me: “The Quarrymen.”
Cashier: “What’s Ringo’s real name?”
Me: “Richard Starkey.”
Cashier: “Who was the original drummer?”
Me: “Pete Best.”
Cashier: “Who was the original bassist?”
Me: “Stu Sutcliffe.”
Cashier: “Who was their manager?”
Me: “Brian Epstein.”
Cashier: “What label did they work under?”
Me: “Apple.”
Cashier: “Who was their sound manager?”
Me: “George Martin.”
Cashier: “Who died first?”
Me: “John.”
Cashier: “Who died second?”
Me: “George.”
(He seemed pretty happy to know I knew all those facts.)
