Answer 2

ALL DATES ARE APPROXIMATE:

1. Ringo. As for his sick adulthood...

2. George Harrison met Pattie Boyd on the set of "Hard Day's Night". Proposed Christmas Day 1965 (Pattie later gave differing stories about how that happened), married 21 Jan 1966. Later Eric Clapton had a brief affair with her (he was allegedly the agressor, she is alleged to have not willingly been the cheating type) and when she broke it off he threatened to turn to heroin and he wrote LAYLA about her. She divorced George in 1977, married Clapton in 1979 (Tucson). He cheated on her relentlessly and they divorced in 1989.

3. Ringo - convinced the Beatles would be a short-lived phenomenon, his goal was to earn enough to buy a nice house and set up a hairstyling botique.

4. I suppose you're talking about the outfits worn at the wedding of Pattie Boyd and George Harrison, designed by Mary Quant. Actually it would not surprise me to find that more than one Beatle wore hats by Mary Quant.

5. Paul moved into 7 Cavendish Avenue, St. John's Wood in 1966. It was near Abbey Road and EMI Studios so it was a common point for after-session gatherings and also where Paul took John after he dropped acid and became terrified of his microphone.

6. Pete Best auditioned for the Beatles 12 Aug 1960 and was replaced on drums by Ringo 18 Aug 1962.

7. Stu Sutcliff played bass, badly - would often play with back to audience so they could not see how he was fumbling. Joined Jan 1960 and promptly renamed band (was Johnny and the Moondogs) the Beatals. Paul was on guitar still. Became Silver Beetles (May - July 1960) and Silver Beatles (July - Aug 1960) then just Beatles (Aug 1960-December 17, 1960) when Stu was replaced by Chas Newby on bass, then Paul took over 18 Aug 1962.

8. 1n 1957 at age 18 Cynthia Powell was attending Liverpool College of Art, where she met Lennon (who was a year younger than she) They began dating in 1958 and in1962 she learned she was pregnant with John Charles Julian Lennon, born April 8, 1963 in Liverpool.

9. Title of John Lennon's second book (1965) of stories, poems and drawings, a follow-up to 1964's "In His Own Write". Often reviewed as a least favorite, full of sexual innuendo and dirty words. Some call it offensive, hateful, full of very cynical humor. So? It's John Lennon, man. What did you expect?

10. Careful - gonna fool ya! From the 1969 Album "Abbey Road" (recorded after but released before "Let it Be"), after "Yesterday", "Something" is the most covered song in the Beatles catalog. Why? It's one of my favorte Beatles songs to sing/play because of the great melodic bass line & superb harmony vocals. Due to their business arrangement John and Paul got equal billing as songwriters whether it was 50/50, 60/40, 70/30 or 100/0. I know, the general rule is he who sang it wrote it, although the rule gets muddied because of some of the great Beatles harmonies. Of "Something" , supposedly Frank Sinatra once said, "The greatest love song by Lennon and McCartney." Poor George. HE WROTE SOMETHING! No respect, I tell ya, no respect at all. He wrote it "with a little help from his friend" James Taylor - On James' 1968 self-titled album, track 6 is "Something in the way she moves". That's OK, "Come Together" allegedly has a guitar riff and vocal line from Chuck Berry's "You Can't Catch Me" also. John got sued over that one...
