For someone who was not connected in any way with Brian Epstein and his fabulous four band of Beatles, you certainly seem to be convinced that the boys looked down upon Brian and his dealings and treated him with disrespect and continual ridicule. As someone who was a witness to this era, I can say it is not true. I don't know where you seem to get so much of your insight, but your depressing outlook on life and constant put down of the Beatles does tend to get old.
Oh please. I don't know who you are, but Lesley Taylor of Derbyshire DIED of cancer in December 2004. So much for your claim to have been that DIRECT witness to this era. Since I was born in 1951, I was probably just as much a witness as you were ~ if indeed you are that old.
To my perception, you seem obviously to be one of these younger Beatlemaniac types who prefer to look at the Fab Four with rose-colored glasses.
I have never "put down" the boys. More admonishments than anything. In any case, those who know me know that I love the Beatles as much as anyone, but in a much more logical manner since 1967. I have often stated that I think of Brian's boys as one would feel about miscreant brothers ~ I get frustrated with them, but I admire them nevertheless for the talent and humor they showed in their public image.

Have any of you thought that Lennons confessions to Janov was that John and Brian had a long time affair and John was devastated when Brian died? Bullshit, John teased him leading him on and dropping out when things got to hot...are we talking about the same Lennon? The one who would do anything sexually or otherwise because he was so curious and had no brakes on anything in life. Your kidding yourself that John and Brian never had sex! .PS I am not the guys who opened this post by being a dead person.
