Do You Wanna Know A Secret?

Seems I'm an expert on the Beatles.

Channel 5 screened a documentary called Secrets of the Beatles, but it was just a guided tour of the usual landmarks and I switched off after an hour. Yeah, they did drugs, they went with girls. Tell me something I don't already know.

One pleasing trifle: there are women in Liverpool who had children by one or other of the Beatles but have never profited from it or dished the dirt. Damn good show. Human dignity rules, OK!

Geniuses are often unbalanced. All the energy goes into the one activity, leaving the person incapable of sustaining ordinary relationships etc.

It's a Faustian pact. You have to pay heavily for the Gift.
