Speaking Words of Wisdom...

The Beatles were not only gifted musicians, they were gifted comics as well. They were famous for their quick wit and humorous one liners. In early 1964, when a reporter asked John Lennon how he found America, he said, "turn left at Greenland." On the Beatles' 1963 Christmas album, John introduces himself by saying, "John speaking with his voice!" How I love Beatle humor! I loved the first press conference the Beatles gave when they arrived in America on February 7, 1964. Later that same year, their first movie "A Hard Day's Night" was released and it was replete with delightful Beatle humor as each Beatle was written as his own "character." The photographs are every bit as wonderful as the Beatles' humor and will no doubt delight all readers.
