WOW dig that backdrop! lol Here's a little trivia question for ya that gave me a little chuckle. After the Beatles left Hamburg on Dec. 31, '62 right after the Star Club tape was recorded they never went back to Hamburg again until 1966 and the one reason was because a certain Father Mackels of St. Joseph-Kirche accused them of doing something inside his church. What was it?

Give up yet buddy? Clue: p.108 in the book 'The Beatles In Hamburg' by Spencer Leigh which I have the advance uncorrected proof copy so it may not be in your copy.

I did not know that! But it doesn't surprise me. Weren't they a 'punk' rock band in those days.

YES, a long time before the Rolling Stones and the Who did their acts. The Beatles were the original Bad Boys from Britain! I was always amazed that in six months from that time in Hamburg Brian got them into suits and ties!

Surely urinating on nuns heads is worse though!

I take it the nuns weren't those kinky type fetishistic nuns in those mags?

In my mind they were "Nuns Gone Wild!!!" Hee Haw!
Anyhow, Mal's gun was real, it was just empty and it seems to people who knew him, that it was a suicide. His marriage was ending, he was just at loose ends. It must have been growing over the years. Because when the Beatles ended, he was out of a job. It's like he just gave up and let himself slide. And John wasn't a particularly good influence during that lost weekend fiasco.

Thanks for the correction on the Mal Evans incident (and it was 1976 as well), it was just off the top of me 'ed. All in all a very sad story. At least when the Beatles split they had their individual talent, fame and fortune. What was Mal left with? Did they look after him financially after the split? Probably not otherwise Mal's wife wouldn't have had to try to sell McCartney's lyrics to (I think) She's Leaving Home. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't McCartney legally stop her selling them and ended up buying them himself?

I once read an unflattering book about Macca and I don't recall the story specifically, but it sounds like one of them.

If that's the Geoffry Guiliano book, then yes.

The main part of my question was 'where is he at this very moment' and the answer I was looking for was that he was lost in the mail along with with his manuscript that were both on their way to his wife in England. Never to be seen again! I would have liked to have read what he had written about The Beatles.
