   I’m really conflicted on Brian Epstein. he worked them to death, got them hooked on goofy pills, and chiseled a lot of their early earnings
   
   but he was also partly responsible for perhaps the most productive six years in rock and roll history

     He cleaned them up, transformed them from a Hamburg dance hall band that knew 1,000 songs into a band that changed the world. They had the talent, he knew the biz.
     
     As for the pills, well, John and Paul were hanging with Dylan and that crew so I don't think Brian was the main guy in that process. John was in incredible pain so he really, really wanted something to ease that pain.

     there would be no Beatles phenomenon without Epstein… but would those men have been better off without him?

     Ringo and George, definitely not. The other two - well, Paul was going to write saccharine show tunes regardless, but for all of the negatives, I think John was better off for having been a Beatle, at least up until he was murdered. That put a damper on the whole deal.

     I’m the only person on earth who appreciates what Yoko did to the Beatles.

     she was much more attractive in motion than as a still image.

     I appreciate what she did for me when she was photographed nude for the cover of "Two Virgins" which was to put me off Jap chicks forever.

     nor her face
     
     she’s just not a pretty girl
     
     but she moves like a pretty girl. sort of the female version of the Ed Norton Jr. effect

     oh I disagree - a lot of people dislike the Beatles
     
     the CIA for instance

     I'm the only person who appreciates what Mark David Chapman did to The Beatles.
