Fact #151667
When:
Short story:
Cavern Club deejay Bob Wooler writes a feature about the emergence of The Beatles in Mersey Beat, a local Liverpool, England, UK, Europe, music paper.
Full article:
Bob Wooler : People were always asking me about this group: they knew they were remarkable, magic even. I tried to encapsulate that in an article full of soundbites, to use a contemporary expression. I culled the famous last words of Humphrey Bogart from The Maltese Falcon. When he is asked about the black bird by Ward Bond, he replies, "It is the stuff that dreams are of". I paraphrased that as "the stuff that screams are made on".
I closed the article by saying The Beatles were so fantastic that I didn't think anything like them would happen again. The only Beatle that I mentioned by name was Pete Best. The poster for Jane Russell in The Outlaw described her as "mean, moody and magnificent". I applied that to Pete Best, and it stuck. Sam Leach called him the Atom Beat Drummer, which seemed appropriate, although I've no idea what it meant.
