Reminder: When: Where: Description: oin us for PHB¡¯s THEME NIGHT! ¡°The story began in Harold Macmillan¡¯s ¡°never had it so good¡± ¡¯50s Britain. It should be fiction: four teenagers with no more than eight O¡¯Levels between them, running and biking and busing and busking all over Liverpool in search of new chords and old guitars and half-decent drum kit and any gig at all. They were determined to amount to something (in George¡¯s words ¡°we just had this amazing inner feeling of: ¡®We¡¯re going to do it¡¯. I don¡¯t know why¡ we were just cocky¡±) and make a record (in Ringo¡¯s words ¡°you¡¯d kill for that bit of plastic and make some money and have a laugh and shout.¡±) That would do to be going on with. Six years later, they were the four most famous and musical men on earth, the best dressed and on a good day the most captivating people anyone can remember. The narrative that began where Paul met John and clicked at a garden fete in leafy Liverpool, and ended in high dudgeon in high-end London, is so far fetched that it needs the power of a song punctuating every page to remind you with a joyous jolt that it was all true. We didn¡¯t dream it¡ though it came out of John¡¯s dream of the ¡°man on a flaming pie¡± who said ¡°You are Beatles with an ¡®A¡¯¡±. It did all happen. The whole wonderful thing did happen, a long time ago, on the Mersey, on the Elbe, by the Thames and the Hudson River.
