Stu Sutcliffe? Murray the K? Billy Preston? Oh crap, you're not Yoko, are you?!
Automatic Resigning?
Sort:
Pete Best...OK, maybe Yoko in the later years.
George Martin
Paul's "imitator".
Who also apparently died (circa 1970-71).
You were playing Chuck Norris?
Patti Boyd
Linda Eastman
Derek Taylor
Mal Evans
That guy who played drums on tour when Ringo had the flu
That guy in that art studio who introduced John & Yoko
You said you left the computer. If you don't play a move within a certain number of minutes (I think 5) then the computer assumes you've abandoned the game.
Brian Epstein?
Oh yeah, Brian Epstein! (how could I forget him?)
@petrossian, sorry, I meant to say that I was playing turn-based chess.
Also, TMIMITW, Paul's "imitator" was William Campbell :)
And Andy, who the heck is Mal Evans? or Murray the K? or Derek Taylor?
And you call yourself the 5th Beatle?! [fiendish laughter]

Me too. A sad day for both of us (sigh).
A very good/interesting book btw (and not at all like I expected it to be):
16 pages of exciting pictures! On my way to the bookstore!
Although, reading his perspective might be interesting.
Yes, it was...and surprising. He was amazingly frank and forthright throughout. Of course, there was the one Big Thing which he couldn't mention at all...but anyway, he was hardly your typical pop music huckster.
Mal Evans was a 'roadie' for the Beatles from the very beginning. In other words he would set up the instruments, etc. While recording, he was a general 'go-for'.
Murray the 'K' was a radio announcer. When the Beatles first came to America he hooked himself up with them (he named himself the 'Fifth Beatle') much like Howard Cossell with Mohammed Ali or Lowell Thomas with T. E. Lawrence.
Derek Taylor worked for Brian Epstein in his NEMS record store. He went with Brian the first time he saw the Beatles (in the Liverpool Cavern Club). Afterwards, they had lunch, Brian turned to him and announced that he wanted to manage them. Derek turned down 1% of their income in return for a steady salary (ah, regrets) and continued to work with Brian at NEMS for years after.
I was playing a game on online chess and I had a slight advantage. When I came back to the game, it said that I had resigned even though I hadn't. I don't remember even clicking on the "Resign" button and my oppenent didn't have me in checkmate either; I had a lot of time remaining on the clock as well. Any info would be appreciated :)
