The Beatles Death Curse

[Guest Droosy]

Heard a rumour that some of the research for this absolute masterpiece was done on this very thread.

 

 

 

Oh look, a link to the Amazon page: http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Beatles-Legends-Neil-Nixon/dp/1908728558?ie=UTF8&keywords=beatles%20myths%20and%20legends&qid=1460131004&ref_=sr_1_1&s=books&sr=1-1

I still think that George Harrison was the coolest Beatle - at least for the Deathlist. He smoked himself to death, got brain cancer and fought off an armed attacker by chanting Hare Krishna!!

Tony Barrow, the Beatles' press officer who first coined the term "The Fab Four" has died just after his 80th birthday. Trusted sources. https://twitter.com/marklewisohn/status/731781054785327105 and https://twitter.com/BBCNWT/status/731780462146883584

 

Awaiting formal report, but anyone who knows the story of The Beatles will appreciate his influence. RIP.

Hadn't realised he was the "Fab Four" guy...so that'll outlive him by decades.

An act of utter and shameless self-promotion, obviously, but for those keen on discussing general Beatle weirdness, including death curse rumours, and rubbing online shoulders with others of a similar bent to gawp at youtube links to the "evidence" there's a Facebook page here:

Here's a real Beatles fringe (see what I did there?). Gabe McCarty, leader of the group The Four Vests, which George Harrison played with on his holiday trip to the USA in 1963 (being the first Beatle to go there), has died aged 83. http://www.axs.com/news/leader-of-group-george-harrison-played-with-during-trip-to-u-s-in-1963-90377

Guy lives to 90, a full 46 years after the breakup of The Beatles..... and is a victim of a 'curse'. Could be the dumbest thread on this site (the title that is). When pray tell did this 'curse' start, when Lennon got shot? LMAO.

When will 'the curse' strike McCartney and Starr? Maybe Yoko is the voodoo source of the curse, as she lives on!

Pretty shitty curse what takes 46 years to kick in and allows someone to scoot 8 years past normal life expectancy.

SC

Wait. Are you saying that Yoko Ono is immortal?? No!!!! The witch will cause the death of me

Paul Cole was in one of the most famous photographs of the 20th century, and yet he wasn't famous.

 

Cole, a longtime Barefoot Bay resident, died Wednesday in Pensacola at age 96. He is clearly seen in the famous shot of the Beatles walking across London's Abbey Road, used as the front cover of the group's classic 1969 album, "Abbey Road." Over the years, the picture has been reproduced in books, on posters, coffee mugs, T-shirts and hundreds of other places.

 

The retired salesman is standing on the sidewalk, just behind the Beatles. Gawking at them.

Bah! I've been catfished by the media!

But seriously how does a story like that pop up from 8 years ago? Oh well. :-(

Now Sir Creep is sad and embarrassed.

You're not the first, and certainly won't be the last.

Maybe he'll be a great great grandfather. I honestly can see him making it to 100 before he dies.

Aye, but if he makes 99 how many of us will be around to cash in the dead pool points?

Meant to post this at the time but was around the start of my interwebby trevails.

Harry Benson had an exhibition in the weeg in the Summer, heard an interview with him on radio Scotchland, and noted he is now 86.

 

 

Famous for being the fifth man off the plane at JFK, he was also there when JFK got whacked.

 

 

Highly obitable and seemingly a little frail going by the voice.

[YoungWillz 19,046]

Grrr.

 

I decided to have one Beatles related person on my main DDP team (this year it's Maureen Cleave) and Benson was my "secret" pick for next year.

 

Ho hum, find another one.

I'll never pick Ringo - my heart melts in that scene in A Hard Day's Night when he's wandering about on his own.

 

Someone Beatles related, guaranteed obit but trying for a unique.

If Lennon was still alive today, then it would've been his 76th birthday today. So happy birthday to Lennon, even though he's unfortunately no longer with us.
