Musings on the byways of popular culture

And Ron should be celebrated accordingly. He wrote some of the best songs ever written, showed his Dr Robert on that album cover and grew a beard in bed. What more do you need from a pop star?
Do a poo poo!
That´s not Cheese & Onions, no. But if one needs to go one needs to go.
(And if you kind people haven´t seen The Rutles, this won´t make any sense at all. In that case, see Lennon, John. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this post.)
According to this report in The Independent (see the link at the bottom of this post), this is the second time the Fabs have turned down the opportunity to star in The Jungle Book. Our beloved lads as Them Crooked Vultures? No way!
Good on them I say! Look at what they wanted them to do last time.

It’s 1965. Really. You’re on a ski-ing holiday in the Alps, and are delighted to find the Beatles there too, filming their second feature film, Help. Okay so far?
You’re amongst a small crowd of spectators when a grand piano is lifted by crane above the boys for a Ticket To Ride sequence. As they prepare for the scene, you – and you alone – notice a rope around the grand piano fraying to a thread. You dash for the boys, knowing full well you can only push one of them out of the way of the falling piano.
Although it’s a tragedy that three Beatles were crushed to death, you achieve fame of a sort for saving the life one of the Beatles. My question is – which one did you save? And why?
Rules: Smartarse votes for any “Beatle” not John, Paul, George, or Ringo will be disqualified. Votes for any outcome other than you saving the life of one Beatle (and the consequent deaths of the other three) will be disqualified. A reason has to be given for your split-second choice. remember – history turns on your decision.
