Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - February 1, 1965, Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg free press monday feb Raicy 1965 i i i Woodiest beatle would t play thought Epstein favored others by Brian Epstein excerpted from the new Book a cellar Ful of copyright 1964 by Brian Epstein. Published in Canada by Ryerson press. Instalment Vii John Paul George and Ringo. Collectively these Are the four most famous names in the world. They Are extraordinary Young Rojen who have directly altered of hundreds even thousands of people who have affected the entire balance of the entertainment Industry who have kicked up so much dust that in All our lifetimes it will not completely Settle. They Are daily conversation in hundreds of millions of Homes throughout the Ivorid. More has been written about them than about any other entertainers of any Era. The haunted wonderfully Wistful eyes of Little Ringo Starr from Liverpool s Dingle Are More instantly recognizable than any single feature of any of the world s great statesmen. The superlatives of the Indus try in which they belong though Gross and wild and overstated cannot begin to describe Bie Impact of four Young men in their Early twenties who left school before they should have who can neither rear music nor write it. Who care not a Fia or a Damn or Button for anyone save a Light closely guarded clique of less than a dozen. For John Paul. George and Ringo Are themselves the ultimate superlative. They have de fied analysis though not for a year or two has there been a shortage of analysts prepared to devote an amazing amount of time to delving scratching and soul Baring to look for a reason for the inhuman grip of the beatles. Perfect fit i have known them so Long so Well and with such Persona involvement that i rarely try to examine what has happened or Why. I was there when the four some was born when the face of Ringo slotted into lie curious chemical pattern and thus Ere ated the four constituent formula that has driven Young womanhood of the world into a demented frenzy of exultation and admiration. Yet i cannot pretend that facially Ringo seemed to me to be the perfect fit. And certainly the other three did not band together originally because they knew that somehow they were to become a hypnotic blend. George and Paul and John linked up simply be cause they were three teen agers keen on making music and be cause they could do it without rowing or arguing Over Small things. But it is inescapable that Ringo was the catalyst for the others he suddenly completed the Jig saw and the beatles with Ringo became a Magnet for the great camera artists of the world a target for the jaded lately hostile eyes of people who had hardly known that popular music existed. I am not Here discussing their music at All. Though of course. It was and is this which is the Core and reality of their Success and the beatles themselves would not give a a mom ent s thought to anything Asab chemical Appeal or collective magnetism. But i believe that there is something a Little outside our nor Mal experience in the happening of the beatles and i believe it is valuable to make the Point. It May be magic or it May be some strange organic combination. Whatever it is it is there and it goes far beyond twist and shout or she loves no barriers the beatles accept barriers neither of class nor sex. The beatles Don t say glad to meet but they often Are. They Don t flatter women but they never sit while a woman stands. They have their own riles and one May not understand them but they Are workable Sod they have never damaged anyone out Side which is More than one can say for some of society s rules. 1 am always being asked what Are the beatles really i never know quite what Paul Mccartney Here As Eskimo can be Moody.

Zenick Winnipeg to say because they Are what they Are and anyone who has Ever seen of heard them either in person or on radio or screen has basically As much Chance As i have of knowing what they Are like. Beatles and this they realize now but it was t always so. A manager dealing with a close knit foursome has to be As fair As and As cautious As a father of four children. And one night very Early in my management would drive to each of Trie beat Les Homes and collect them for a show. On this particular night i called on John first then on George then on Paul Peter Best was travelling in the Van. George got out of the car and a cellar Ful of noise the beatle Story in Many ways they Are the same now As they were when i first met them. Immeasurably Richer of course with a Rounder Confidence and a rational consciousness of their status in the Hierarchy of popular music but they have not become arrogant and they never will. I have no favourites among the Isaac Newton Tea to be feb. 10 Isaac Newton school will hold its annual Val Entine Tea feb. 10 in the school auditorium 730 Aberdeen ave nue. The Tea will be held from 3 to . And 7 to 9 . An International food bar will sell baking of various countries. Proceeds go to school funds. Of the beatles this was brought Home to me with an unpleasant thump. Not ready in the Long ago Days of 1962 when the beatles had a Van for their equipment which on Occa Sion was used also to transport them. But whenever i could i knocked on Paul s door in the Little Street where he lived in Al Lerton. He knocked for a few moments and there was still no sign of finally Paul an swered and said Teu Brian i m not ready and i la be a George came Back to the car and. Told me this. I said Well he should be ready. I said i d be Here at eight and it s past George went Back to the House returned a minute later and said Paul was still not ready. I said George Tell him we re going to the Beehive for a drink and1 if he likes he can get the bus to the City Centre the train to Birkenhead and another bus to the technical we went to the Beehive and from there one of the beatles telephoned Paul. I believe it was John. He came Back from the phone and said Paul now says he s not coming. He s very an noyed at having to get the train and the i was worried angry and up set and i toyed with the idea of telling would not be both ered with managing the beatles if this was the Way they were going to behave. I Learned later that the Back ground to Paul s refusal to work that night was that he believed i had been calling of him last on too Many trips. It seemed he was annoyed that John was picked up first too often and this led him to believe he was less important to the group. We straight ened it out expressed our Mutual annoyance and then made it up Paul is temperamental Moody and difficult to Deal with but i know him very Well and he me. This Means that we Compromise on a clash of personalities. He is a great one for not wishing to hear about things and if he does t want to know he switches him self off settles Down in a chair puts one booted foot across Liis knee and pretends to read a newspaper having consciously made his face an impassive mask. But he has enormous Talent and inside he has a great tenderness and great feeling which Are concealed by an angry exterior. I believe that he is the most obviously charming with strangers autograph Hunters fans and other artists. He has a magnificent smile and an eagerness both of which he uses not for but because he knows they Are assets which will bring happiness to those around him. Paul is very much a. Star very musical with a voice More Mel Odic than John s and therefore More commercially acceptable. Also and this is vital to me he has great loyalty to the other beatles and to the organization around him. Therefore i ignore his moods and hold him in High esteem i would not care to lose him As a Friend.
