(0834) Was admiring patches of blue out there, then saw a chemtrail. (1017)
12. There are the reasons we thought at the time
… then the reasons the band put fwd … there may even have been unsaid things beyond simple jealousy or his failure, Pete Best, to fit in with the group dynamic … those might all have played a role, no question. There is this:
“From the Beatles early beginnings when they played in Hamburg, Germany and at the Cavern in Liverpool their drummer was a young man named Pete Best. Richard Starkey (Ringo Starr) was a drummer with another band that shared some of the same venues with the Beatles.
Pete Best was a handsome James Dean type, 1950’s style and by far the most popular band member with the girls.
Just as the Beatles signed their first record deal and went on tour which catapulted them to fame unlike no other band before or after them, they fired Pete Best. Almost as bad as getting fired, not before but as the Beatles became the biggest phenomena, the group members John, Paul and George, left it to their manager Brian Epstein to personally inform the drummer that he was no longer with the band. John, Paul & George never spoke to him then or since.
His large female fan base developed hatred and bitterness to the band and many others in the music industry thought his firing to be somewhat cruel and unwarranted. The Beatles decided that Ringo Starr would replace him and join them on their first world wide tour.
This was the unfortunate situation that Ringo walked into and he had no idea or inkling that Pete Best was getting fired until he was asked to replace him. The fury over his firing was of course taken out on Ringo more than anyone else and certainly no fault of his.”
But there’s a more conspiracist line to take too. Look at Hollywood and Weinstein and similar names who run things, with plenty of finance. Think too of the urinating in nuns legend … the malleability of the band members to do such things. Look at the whole casting couch culture in entertainmenthe Laurel Canyon thing, the three letter agencies.
I started looking up various movie moguls, e.g. Harry Cohn and put “askenazi” next to it. Looked up Louis B Mayer and his origins were obscured … then I found them. Who was the Beatles manager?
I’m not looking at ethnicity or religion per se in this, I’m looking at agendas of various groups. Madras-Liverpool lad Pete Best would not have fitted that agenda.
11. This I’ve had two days
… about time to post it.
On gruesomeness. There’s a link in here https://nourishingobscurity.wordpress.com/2026/02/08/reader-drops-1288/#comment-14479
containing much more gruesomeness than the Corey link. The link commencing “I’m thinking public executions…”
It contains a still from a film which I and others have avoided for nearly a decade. You want stomach churning then that fits the bill. I do not want to see images like that at any time of day or night. A few years ago there was ruckus here because despite an alert at the top of the comment one lady blew her top! From that day forth it was agreed that any comment or link which was likely to upset should contain a WARNING so the reader had a choice whether or not to proceed. That link needs such a warning imo in line with the policy adopted all those years ago but now seemingly ignored by some.
I am not naming the film (RL allegedly) as I do not want to be responsible for anyone’s mental breakdown. Far worse than the Podesta art. Bearing in mind some of the muck we have to rake through that drop is OTT. Ladies who do not comment here still read here and their sensitivities need due consideration as does the Unherdable regulars. Some might be inured to images like that but the vast majority are not.

Lot going on today, mostly the clown show that is currently running inside No.10 Downing Street. The King was heckled quite loudly this morning, along the lines of ‘what did you know and when did you know it’, sort of thing. Airmiles is more than up to his neck in it now – so much so he’ll have to leave the country at some point: his brother will insist he be expelled (Gulf state probably) rather than go to prison. In other news The Donald is pre-positioning for a lightning strike:

Happy Days 🙂
Comedy gold, the Muslim leader of the Labour Party in Scotland has told the Prime Minister he should resign 🤣
12. A fellow Police Officer told me that his father worked as a roady for the Beatles, and that Pete Best was sacked because of Paul MCartney being jealous of the women preferring their drummer, and giving the option of him going or Best. As he was the singer/songwriter along with Lennon, Best had to go, and he was replaced with ‘the ugliest drummer in Liverpool’, so that McCartney became the heart throb, rather than the boyish looking one.
He also said that Starr didn’t do the drumming on the recording of “Please, Please, Me”, as he couldn’t manage the timing, and that it was done by a session drummer. Mistakes could be covered up when playing live, because of the screaming, but not in the studio.
Whether this is true or not, or just tales told by his father, it made for one of the many interesting stories about the Beatles.
