It was also the basis of a sketch Lennon wrote for O Calcutta – altho Macca has never spoken of being involved with the circle jerks, Pete Shotton mentioned it a few times in his book and to Hunter Thompson etc
I belive ‘Ver Quo also used to get out dodgy super-8 films and have a collective hand shandy after gigs in the early 70s. Probably safer than groupies. And safer FOR the groupies.
