Hahahaha "Meet the Beat-Alls!"

That episode was hilarious! The random quoting of so many song.. they even quoted "I'm Only Sleeping"! But the monkey's name is 'Mojo Jojo'.. not sure about the Yoko-esque one though. I don't think I laughed at something like I did with that PPG episode in a long time. I swear I must've been crying!

Yoko SHRIEKS.

I don't like Yoko.

Have any of you ever read Tony Bramwell's book,Magical Mystery Tour/My Life with The Beatles? There is a pretty revealing section in there about Yoko....some stuff that I hadn't read or heard of before.....

Allegedly, Bramwell was "there" and saw and heard many, many things first-hand....this guy was in as close as you can get with the boys....

Too numerous for me to mention here. I'll have the book in hand tonight and will post some things I've read....I will have to slightly 'paraphrase' some things

Chris: I just finished reading the Bramwell book a few weeks ago. He obviously didn't care for Yoko's influence on John. Frankly, John didn't come out looking very good either. He was painted as a troubled eccentric who later allowed himself to be controlled and manipulated by Yoko. That may be accurate. Bramwell had better access to The Beatles than most people who have written about them.

Randy: Good timing! Image

It does seem that there was a definitive "turning point" where he caved and went from despising her and her presence to not wanting to be without her.....seemed like it happened over night...

AND...apparently the commonly told story about the Two Virgins recording wasn't the first time they had 'gotten together' ....

If his recounts of these events are true and accurate......well, she made my skin crawl in the first place, but NOW it's even worse...

Hmmm, let's see...something nice about Yoko...

Didn't she introduce John to 'granny glasses'?
