Thank you for your ideas, Glass Onion. You're not being negative at all and your input is appreciated. There's some other PODs that I haven't mentioned yet concerning John, Yoko, Paul, Linda and Let It Be. I've glosses over some of the issues with George but I'll be trying to see if I can pull...

Much obliged for the feedback, Admiral, and you make some good points. Maybe it's naïve hope, but here the rancor and bitterness is less than in OTL. I'd pictured Paul being more agreeable because of the opportunity to play live again and make a nice payday. Here Paul sees that John's at the end...

It had been four days but it seemed more like four years. Paul, George, Ringo and Mal kept watch over John in rotating shifts, helping him get from bedroom to the bathroom and back again. The first night was the hardest. John wasn't easy to control and only Mal's size and strength kept him from...

Not here. Clive finds it hard to let go of Brian's legacy and that it's advantageous from a tax perspective to keep NEMS. This proves a wise move after NEMS acquires the rights to various mid-level artists, such as Tim Buckley whose U.K. tour and subsequent LP are wildly successful.

It was one of his favorite dreams. The sunlight glinted off the dew on the green grass in a meadow that opened up beyond the wood. He enjoyed the warmth of the light as he stepped out from beyond the trees. The colors were almost supernaturally vivid and he caught the scent of wildflowers in the...

The Beatles got out of the car on Albemarle Street and looked around. They saw a figure approach from a block away who had an uncanny resemblance to the late Brian Epstein. It was only once the man had come closer that one caught the subtle differences, such as the more conservative cut and...

I'm most grateful, Emperor Norton. This should be very helpful.

Thank you for that, Observer. It's certainly better than the shipyard strike I was thinking of using.

Thanks for the feedback. One of the great things about this board is the incredible knowledge displayed by many of the members. While I didn't explain it in the story, I imagined Yoko going off to Tokyo for a while to do an art installation so it looks like I need to do an edit. As to her...

The Beatles arrived back at Paul's house and he lead them around to the back garden. They were met by a very excited sheepdog forever known by the eponymous song "Martha My Dear" off the White Album. "Hey, hey you bloody thing, get down! We've got company!" Paul admonished as he pulled the...

The Captain took one last, thoughtful puff on his pipe and then knocked it clean on the outside of the railing. The QE 2 might've been over-budget and completed months behind schedule, but aye, she was a grand ship indeed. He smiled as he inhaled, the scent of the sea mixing pleasantly with that...

"Cunard, Paul? What are you saying? We play on a bloody boat?!" George scowled. "I still have nightmares about the ferry going to Hamburg." "I'm the son of a son of a sailor, I'm a sailor's son." John said in one of his funny voices. "You still owe me for that pair of winkle-pickers you barfed...

I'd forgotten about the Roman amphitheatre, Mr Shears. I remember reading about that and imagining the Beatles playing in the Colosseum dressed in the costumes they wore in the ski scene from Help!

I think a 1943 invasion of France will have much higher allied, especially U.S. casualties. I don't know if an earlier Overlord precludes invasions of Sicily and Italy, or even N. Africa. If so, U.S. casualties would be even greater.

George pulled up a chair and sat down next to John. "What in hell happened to your hair?" "Hair today, gone tomorrow." John ran his fingers through his short, almost pixie-like mop. "I cut it off for peace." "For a piece? Must've been some bird." "World Peace you daft git." Paul got up...
