#being a short diversion on the dubious origins of beatles
“John mentioned (probably with a groan) that people were always asking what it meant and how they’d thought of it, and Bill replied - with Mersey Beat in mind - ‘Why don’t you tell them?’
So John wrote the history of the Beatles, and because he and George were knocking around together, he was on hand to contribute. John had been happy to let Paul help him write a comic piece or two in 1958, notably ‘On Safari With Whide Hunter’, now he allowed George to get involved in what became known as 'Being A Short Diversion On The Dubious Origins Of Beatles’.” - From The Beatles - All These Years: Tune In by Mark Lewisohn
