APPLE, SAUCE

Oh, PM's ears must still burn...

Sort of before it was really fashionable to regard the Beatles as anything but

earthly Gods, there was this book, Apple To The Core.

-

Penned in 1972 by former Rolling Stone editor Peter McCabe, and Robert D. Schonfeld, a poly-sci and economist guy-to help sort out the dollars and no sense, presumably-this 200 page Pocket Books paperback gets down and dirty in the Fabs' break-up wankings, with Paul McCartney
seeming to get the worst pranging.

-

There is great intrigue centering around the Concert For Bangladesh wherein just (court) deposed Beatle manager Ron Klein

is scheming to have the NYC show prep for a full Beatles reunion
later at Wembley Stadium. "I'll roast his fuckin' ass," Klein is quoted

about McCartney.

-

According to the book, Klein plans to offer a few Beatle bust-up legal bon-bons to Macca if he will show up for a real reunion.

-

However, as the authors point out, the dream reunion may never have been in play such was McCartney's displeasure at Klein stalling
the release of Macca's first solo album.

-

Apparently, Ringo Starr was sent to Paul's house to sort things out, but Macca would hear none of it.

According to Ringo, Paul "went completely out of control, shouting at me, prodding his finger toward my face saying, 'I'll finish you all now..you'll pay,' and then Starr says Macca threw him out of his house.
-

Yikes! Poor little Ringo.

-

Or, as John Lennon sung a bit more metaphorically, "the dream, is/(was) over."

-

I'd urge hard-core Beatle-freaks to seek out this book via e-bay, where

it is generally available for well south of $20.

-

Remember though, all things must pass.
