Who is your favorite 5th Beatle?

[apropos of nothing]

Billy Preston and George Martin tie in my book, but I'm not voting for either since I can't vote for both.

[uqbar]

Surely you must be joking. Because in fact the 5th Beatle is Apu Nahasapeemapetilon.

[zoetrope]

Jeff Lynne is Satan. . . . And what the fuck is with that hair and glasses?

To hide his horns and searing flaming eyes, perhaps? I've always assumed his face is actually a huge open soar that must be hidden from view at any cost.

Jeff Lynne is Satan. Only he could make surviving Beatles, Tom Petty and the Wilbury's all sound as shitty as ELO. And what the fuck is with that hair and glasses?

Die, Jeff, die.

Yours in hate.

Scott

i for one love ELO. some of the most interesting and unique songs to me from the 70s, and he really did some unique production for the time. but yea, to each his own...

[CDSager]

I will deff second any votes for Billy Preston. I agree that all of his shit is maad hot. But also Geoff Emerick becasue he was really really inventive in the studio. The kind of engineer that I aspire to be.

Rock and Roll

[doyoudigworms?]

In a sketch on the TV show "Saturday Night Live", Eddie Murphy plays "Clarence",
who, on a TV show called "Rock & Roll and Then Some", claims to have invented
the Beatles (originally "the Clarences"), written all the songs, played saxo-
phone in the band, etc. and was demanding $7,200 in restitution. As proof, he
plays a taped medley of "I Want to Hold Your Hand / Love Me Do" overdubbed with
sax and [Clarence's vocals]:

I [man] tell ya somethin' [man], I think you'll understand...
Love, love me do [(spoken over the song) My darlin', I would truly
love you to love me do, and I will always always be true, if you would
just give your love to me and always remember to just...love me do...
sweetheart...you're so sexy...love me do]

Then, for the smoking gun, he plays the tape backwards and we hear John saying,
"Hey, Paul! Let's get rid of Clarence and steal all his good ideas."

Yeah, but Eddie Murphy didn't hit his creative peak until Daddy Daycare.
