when he wasn't on heroin john was obsessive-compulsive about being clean and took multiple baths a day, at least according to the goldman book.

Ringo supposedly ate nothing but canned beans when they went to Rishikesh. Packed a trunkful of 'em.

The personal transforming effects of walking on the moon seem be described in the same gushing terms as swimming with dolphins, which makes me kinda skeptical that its a universally amazing experience. There is potential that in my lifetime it will be possible to visit the moon for a couple of grand. Even then, like with swimming with dolphins, I don't think I'll bother.

Waterfalls of pussy is only one advantage of being the omnipotent god-poets that the Beatles became. Beatle all the way.

The Moon, obviously. It is the ultimate travelling experience, amoung many other beautiful things.

Voted for the Moon, have done the band thing (not as big as the beatles though).
Wouldn't mind the £500 million + in the bank to retire with though.

dolphins are sadistic little dickheads; they're almost as bad as us. eat em all. none of them on the moon, thank god.

the white queen and her caustic judgments (difficult listening hour), Friday, 17 May 2013 13:48 (ten years ago) link

I can't speak for anyone else but swimming w dolphins was pretty awesome tbh

I'm fairly certain it was more fun than being hassled by Paul McCartney while recording Maxwell's Silver Hammer

I would rather have started the "Paul is Dead" rumor than have started the moon-landing conspiracy theory.

I'm glad the choice was about being a member of the Beatles rather than a member of the Police, which might have led to some confusion.
