INFORMATION CONTACT US LINKS The 'walrus' which Paul McCartney referrs to in "I am the Walrus" is in fact two things - A Toys R Us store and it's neighbouring Wal-mart supermarket. The song popped into his head when he was driving so fast past them that their signs blurred together creating the illusion of a third store in the middle, which Paul assumed must sell the moustached sea creature of its' name. "How sad", he said in his Yellow Submarine voice - "Those little fellows will never find a home as noone can possibly park at the speed it takes for their store to appear." This incident also inspired in him the song 'Nowhere Man' and the movie 'Speed' - the idea of which he came up with when contemplating how he might manage a rescue attempt for the walrai. During 'An Audience With Paul McCartney (from the Beatles)', Nelly Furtado stood up and asked Paul, "Like the Beatles, I've had many hits and have seen both the upside and the downside of fame. I feel as if my face is perhaps, like the Beatles, bigger than Jesus - and with the digital age upon us, perhaps more omnipotent than God. I feel as if my new album is my best work yet?". She then looked at him as if she'd just asked a question and was waiting for an answer. He simply nodded and put his thumb up in the air out of manners, though in his head wondered whether he could buy her. Up in heaven, Linda McCartney is holding onto Heather Mill's dead leg in the hope that when eventually she turns up with her Paul, they can come to some sort of swapping arangement. When the Beatles first turned up in America, they did lots of hilarious puns ("How did you find America?" Howard Stern. "I just turned left at Tescos" Ringo Starr) The intention behind this was to be more like the Monkees and hopefully strike a deal for a TV series or a rubbish future cover version by The Farm whilst over there. Shaun Ryder got into drugs after being inspired by the Beatles. Although he started it three months before the others, Paul could only grow a bumfluff beard and so for The Blue Album cover, his had to be painted on. The planned Beatles reunion has been cancelled due to the death of George Harrisson. In it's place, Ringo and Paul shall be touring the stadiums of Britain in their tribute band - the bootleg White Stripes. Some say it is unfair them playing stadiums when the White Stripes only play small gigs but as any Mojo reader will tell you - we wouldn't have ANY music at all without the Beatles. They invented it so can do what they like. Besides, there's only so many songs for a two piece drum and a guitar outfit so they'll just have to share. The Beatles weren't so ahead of their time. They simply took drugs which altered their time perception to such an extent that they could rip off bands from the future. Candy Flip wrote 'Strawberry Fields Forever', William Shatner, 'Lucy in The Sky with Diamonds' and Banananrama featuring Nananeeneenoonoo, 'Help'. Originally, Ringo was down to play recorder.
