But perhaps the Beatles weren't all that interested because (again, perhaps) these entertainers were not well known to their native Great Britain.<br />I doubt many Americans for instance would be aware of the comedy duo of Morcambe and Wise, whom the Beatles worshipped.Pope George Ringonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108119778215437215.post-63102874380769424632015-08-26T15:28:12.325-05:002015-08-26T15:28:12.325-05:00Dave Dexter, from Capitol Records (the guy who did...Dave Dexter, from Capitol Records (the guy who did all the sequencing/butchering on the American albums) (I say that even though I love the American albums, especially the sequencing! Especially "Rubber Soul"!)...anyways, he was at this party. A confirmed Beatle-hater, he says in an interview that at this party a bunch of kids were outside the window going bananas, when he asked John Lennon to wave to them. Lennon, obviously not in a great mood (according to this story and photo!), said something like "Ah, to hell with them!" Dexter was mortified, and in a clearly-perturbed tone of voice, who-knows how many years later, says "And after that, I never had any use for John Lennon". <br /><br />Dexter is also the guy who kept passing on "Please Please Me", and "From Me To You", and "She Loves You"..."Love Me Do" also (he hated the harmonica). I think it was Alan Livingston who stepped in and put out "I Want To Hold Your Hand".<br /><br />Still: I mean, a party with Jimmy Stewart, Groucho Marx, Dean Martin, (young) Bill Cosby and Jack Benny.....not to mention Suzanne Plechette....we know Rock Hudson knew how to party! Still, if they say it was a dud, it was a dud!<br /><br />....I would have loved to have seen John and Groucho match wits!!! Paul and Dean sing a duet 'round the piano! Jack Benny and Ringo trade one-liners. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
