Betty by Gary Delainey and Gerry Rasmussen for January 17, 2022

Or the section on Pete Best

The book came out of a rummage sale ?

I seem to remember The Beatles. Weren’t they those guys with funny haircuts?

Short story.

i’d rather listen to an old album than to read about them

The Beatles book has so much information to drum into him.

I don’t get the point.

In 1958 I was going to the movies & it was banned, we really aren’t that far from the dark ages.

Don’t knock Ringo!

The companion book, ‘I Dig a Pony’ by Charles Dawtrey and the Deaf Aids, adds some much needed context. Look in the forward for Phase One, in which Doris gets her oats.

Aren’t those the guys who covered Across the Universe? Or am I thinking of Beat Bugs?

Bub read?!?!? Bwah ha ha ha ha!

Would the chapter on Ringo be shorter or otherwise easier to read? Why?

I remember when John Lennon’s first books came out. The “Intelligentsia” said they proved he was illiterate because they didn’t know what a pun was…

I was in my late teens when the Beatles hit the big time. Didn’t like them then, don’t like them now.
