I do not make up facts. Screw yr head on straight. That is a baseless and disgusting suggestion. Clearly you have no idea what you're talking about, which is probably why you didn't address any of my other points.Pete Best was fired in mid/late August 1962; the Beatles went to London in early September. When exactly was George Martin supposed to have heard Ringo play? He wasn't even available for the dates that remained after they fired Pete Best. I guess all the books have it wrong, so you think I'm making up my own facts. Genius. Well, consider this: Philip Norman wrote that George Martin wasn't even aware that the change had been made when the Beatles got to London, and in the Anthology it's said that George Martin actually asked them to replace Pete Best, and that Andy White had only been hired for the session because he didn't know they had a new drummer. None of which conflicts with anything written in the Hunter Davies book, either. But I guess you know better, don't you? You must, if you resort to accusing people of making up facts. Is this how you practice law?
This has now morphed into a thread where one party has pissed in his pants & is unaware of it. This is distasteful. Give it up already, will ya?
