You are brilliant, but don't make me copy and paste my long and fanciful reply to this over here...

It's by Larry Kirwan of Black 47. John convinces the Beatles not to show up at a recording session where the record execs want them to do a cover version of, get this, "Till There Was You"...except for Paul, who goes by himself, has a hit, & becomes all famous & Americanized. Actually, the Beatles did go to the session and recorded "Please Please Me" instead, & the rest is real-life history. But in the novel, they never made it big. By the 1980s, the world is very different....

Too bad Ringo would still have made "Cavemen."
