I Me Mine: A Beatles Timeline by Han RINGO: George was upset with the way that John and Paul treated him. He was growing as a musician and was becoming more annoyed with the way that John and Paul wanted him to play all his solos just so, whereas before he had much more freedom with his solos...

Hey guys, I'm back!!! I'll get back to the Goldwater TL after I work some things out in the story, but for the meantime, I'll be writing a Beatles TL. Get pumped! :D

Great start buddy! :D I wonder how the Republican Party will end up. Will they end up dissolving into the Progressive Party, I assume? Or could we see TR try to run for the Republican nomination in 1916? Also, what was the national popular vote?

Here's a short update on the Democratic Party: August 26, 1968 Chicago, Illinois Democratic National Convention, 1968 Hubert Humphrey’s nomination by the Democratic Party was almost a given from the very beginning. Although Eugene McCarthy performed well in the primaries and had...

Since you're doing alternate marriages, here's a marriage idea for you down the road (that I randomly thought of): John F. Kennedy Jr. and....SARAH PALIN. :eek:;) She was originally born Catholic if that's the issue, though her family joined a Pentecostal church later. Some hard-working...

Yeah, not redacting the Lennon interview would spoil parts of the storyline. For the record, Lennon's interview is obviously after the Goldwater presidency (I wasn't trying to hide that), so it's dealing with an election afterwords (so there'll be butterflies and stuff like that). The Lennon...

Why thank you! I'm quite flattered! :D

DudeAlmighty has a great TL about this, though I'm not sure whether he put it on hiatus or not: https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=177530

Politically speaking, I'm really really really really really glad this TL didn't happen in real life. ;):p Nevertheless, this TL's absolutely superb, and I'm enjoying it a lot! Keep up the excellent work Dude! :D

Thanks to everybody for the replies and support! :D I'll stop using the redacteds as much. :p

Let's say John Lennon's mother Julia doesn't die in 1958. How does this affect John and the future of the Beatles? John won't nearly be as traumatized as he was OTL, and probably will be better off mentally. John will still have the terrible memory of losing his father, however. :( Hopefully...

What's the possibility of RFK choosing Ralph Yarborough as his VEEP?

Get to know RogueBeaver. He's an absolute Kexpert (Kennedy-Expert), and his specialty is RFK. This is his excellent RFK in '68 TL: https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=157130 IDK what RB would say about RFK in the space race, but I do know that RB would say that if you...

IIRC Bush was considered by Nixon for VEEP in '68, which was partially where I got the idea of a Bush being a potential running mate. Bush had experience with business which made up for his inexperience in politics, so maybe that's why he was considered OTL. I'm pretty sure Bush had ties to both...

I'm not really interested in getting into an economic debate about whether tax cuts actually increase productivity or not. There are plenty of arguments to make on both sides, and that's something that should be talked about in Chat and not here. What matters is that Barry Goldwater's trying to...

I probably did, but do realize that all of George Romney's gaffes were actually said by real people. :eek: A lot of Romney's gaffes that I used were actually Quaylisms.

I guess it really depends on what you want to happen as a result of the Beatles not going psychedelic. I interpreted the POD as the Beatles continuing to make albums in the vein of A Hard Days Night and With The Beatles (which are fantastic albums BTW :D). It would be cool if the Beatles...

IMO you need a POD in '63 or '64. The Beatles really began moving away from their typical "loveable moptop phase" with Help! and Rubber Soul. I mean, you had strings, Sitar, and different sound effects such as the fuzz box. If they just stick with A Hard Days Night style songs, then Brian...
