Fact #187565

When:

Short story:

Paul McCartney of The Beatles celebrates his 21st birthday twice. First there's an official party at Abbey Road, London, England, UK, Europe, then another one later with family and friends in a marquee in an Aunt's back garden in Huyton, Liverpool, England, UK, Europe. John Lennon, another of The Beatles, rather sours the mood of the occasion by getting into a fight with Cavern deejay Bob Wooler.

John Lennon : I smashed him up. I battered his bloody ribs for him. I was pissed at the time. I think he'd called me a queer. He sued me afterwards for thumping him. I paid him £200 to settle it.

John Lennon : … I used to get drunk in Liverpool, and I'd come round when I was beating up some sailor, or attacking Bob Wooler with a cricket bat, like I did at Paul's 21st. All this fucking bile would come pouring out, like that girl in The Exorcist, and I had no control.
