40 anos do Revolver
+ de 1600 Acessos
I wrote this for fun. I'm not a music journalist, or a
professional writer. The idea emerged from a few nagging
questions I had about Revolver, which the band and their
biographers seemed rather too happy to gloss over. Where did
Paul McCartney really get the idea for "Eleanor Rigby"? Who
taught George Harrison to play the sitar? And who did give John
Lennon LSD for the first time?
Almost every morning for two years, I sat on the tube
ploughing through one interminable Beatles memoir or another
with highlighter and notebook in hand; I spent my lunch-breaks
visiting libraries to read books on Hinduism; I spent weekends
hammering away at a keyboard, trying to make all the new
information make sense; I lay awake at night worrying about
rumours of a Sunday Times journalist interviewing all of the same people as I was trying to get hold of.
And it has been fun. If no-one ever reads this, at least I
know I'll never lose another pub argument about the Beatles. Or,
for that matter, have to listen to Revolver ever again.
