No Zymol back then!

Not at all Paul. Grammar is on your side. The transition from spoken to written language can often be a tumultuous one especially during moments of fatigue or absentmindedness.

Definately, I think it went something like "Sorry ladies, he's married" He should have stayed with cynthia, but then Hey Jude never would have been written.

Maybe he would have still written the Song but for someone else & given it a different title like Hey Al or.......?

Yeah, "Hey Al" does have a nicer ring to it.

Wasn't the caption, "Sorry ladies, he's married," or something like that, one of the overlay graphics on one of the Ed Sullivan Show performances, along with another caption when the cameras zoomed in on each individually?

Yes, Scott but The Beatles were big in the UK long before their visits to America of course and this is the period to which I referred.

As the camera zoomed in on each Beatle individually, the only caption was the name, until John came up. His caption showed his name along with the "Sorry, girls, he's married" statement.

It seemed to me at the time that Paul was the heartthrob in the group, Ringo had the lost puppy angle sewn up, and George was a stern enigma.
