Едкий битловский юмор. / The acrid Beatles' sense of humour.
Джордж Харрисон, представляя Пола Маккартни в Блэкпуле в 1965-м с новой сольной песней (а таковой оказалась ставшая самой популярной мелодией всех времен и народов Yesterday), объявляет: "Paul McCartney of Liverpool ... Opportunity Knocks", то бишь "Пол Маккартни ливерпульский... Оппортьюнити нокс (Возможность стучится в дверь)". Это название популярного в те годы ТВ-шоу народных талантов, вроде нынешних X-Factor и "Голоса". Так Джордж выразил внутрибитловское отношение к сольной попытке своего сотоварища. Выступление завершилось еще более едкой ремаркой Джона: "Thank you Ringo, that was wonderful!" ("Спасибо, Ринго, это было замечательно!").
George Harrison, presenting Paul McCartney at Blackpool's ABC Theatre in 1965 with his first ever solo song (which became Yesterday, the most famous tune of all times and people-to-be) declares as follows: "Paul McCartney of Liverpool, "Opportunity Knocks", which was a popular TV show at the time, a precursor of X-Factor. The performance was finished with an even more acrid John's remark: "Thank you Ringo, that was wonderful!".
