In Response To: Children in London lives ruined by Backgammon (institute)

When the Beatles conquered the world,50 years ago, it wasn't just the music that captured people. The Beatles became very known for their wit in press conferences.

Press: Does it bother you that you can't hear what you sing during concerts? John: No, we don't mind. We've got the records at home.

Press: How did you find America? John: Turn left at Greenland.

Press: Are you a mod or a rocker? Ringo: I'm a mocker.

Press: Are you afraid military service might break up your careers? John: No. There's no draft in England now. We're going to let you do our fighting for us.

Press: Are you going to have a leading lady for the film you're about to make? Paul: We're trying to get the Queen. She sell in England, you know.

Press: Are you scared when crowds scream at you? John: More so in Dallas than in other places, perhaps.

Press: Are you wearing wigs or real hair? Ringo: Hey, where's the police? Paul: Take her out! George: Our hair's real. What about yours, lady?

Press: Aren't you tired of all the hocus-pocus? Wouldn't you rather sit on your fat wallets? Paul: When we get tired we take fat vacations on our fat wallets.

Press: Beethoven figures in one of your songs. What do you think of Beethoven? Ringo: I love him. Especially his poems.
