The concept of the Beatles being in Hamburg fucking prostitues robbing sailors and living on prellies and beer in 1962 and then a year later in 1963 they’re doing ageo in uniforms for the BBC at 3 o clock sharp so that the 12 year olds won’t miss it

I'll tell you a name-droppy story. I was at an ELO concert and someone came up to me and said: "I loved your documentary. I've got a question about Saturn's moon Enceladus and its ice fountains. I'm really sorry, I'm always doing this - I walk up to people who I've seen on telly and I think I met them, but I haven't met you before. Sorry! I'm Paul McCartney." That was the first time I met Paul McCartney. I've met him a few times since. He's always wonderful. But the first time I met him, because I'm such a big Beatles fan, I was completely overwhelmed. I loved that he introduced himself to me.

@i-am-the-oyster - Nancy does seem to have taken his last name (though possibly she stuck with "Shevell", at least publicly, until she stopped working)! She uses it in her dad's obituary, and then there's this at Memorial Sloan Kettering, where she and Linda were both treated during their breast cancer battles:

if you google "what is it called when" and the first letter of a beatle, autocomplete writes you a little poem about their apocalyptic destiny.

(I'm sorry, but "rats get stuck together, reality feels like a dream, rocks fall down a mountain" has more emotional comprehension of the beatles story than many nine hundred page biographies.)

The thing about the beatles is that The Beatles were already an act. Beatle John Beatle Paul Beatle George and Beatle Ringo were Beatle caricatures created and performed by Real Human Guys JPGR. The problem with the biopics is that they’re going to treat the caricatures *as* the real guys. But an essential fact about the Actual Real Guys is that they were living (sometimes trapped) inside a myth of their own making, wherein their public persona wasn’t just a performance, it was a performance of a performance. Everything is a bit. And frankly I don’t trust that anyone involved with the project even understands the pervasiveness of this concept, forget about capturing the insanely recursive meta of it all
