500 Questions
Did John Lennon had dyslexia?
Asked by Wiki User
No, Bono doesn't have Dyslexia So far as we know, none of the members of U2 have any learning disabilities, though Bono and The Edge did appear at a charity in November, 2007 to raise money for Mencap (a UK organization that helps people with learning disabilities). "Don't tell Larry and Adam we did this," Bono quipped. Billed as the warm-up act for one of Mencap's Little Noise Sessions, the identity of the 'special guests' was kept secret. Host Jo Whiley introduced the duo as "a new band with a lot of potential…Dave the guitarist is very nervous…If he makes a mistake forgive him, he's new. The singer is very shy."

Which song did john Lennon write to paul McCartney?
Asked by Wiki User
That is a hard question to answer without LOTS of research. Truth is, Lennon and McCartney are responsible for teaming up on most of the songs that the Beatles recorded. There has to be hundreds of them!!!
Paul readily said in an interview which ones belonged to who. He would say "That one was John's, or that was mine." The one who sings it, is a good indication of who's is who's. They would put both their names on the songs. Yesterday for instance was a McCartney song. He literally woke up out of a dream with the song in his head, and went right to the piano. The working title was "Scrambled Eggs", in G, until he came up with "Yesterday".

Who is the top singer in the Beatles?
Asked by Wiki User
The leader of the Beatles changed through their history. As the founder of the band, John Lennon was widely seen as the leader in their early days - until Ringo joined the band (around 5 years after the band started), Lennon was also the oldest member by over a year.
In the recording studio, Paul McCartney tended to be more "in charge" of the band. After they stopped touring in 1966, he became more the leader of the band - this caused some resentment from the other Beatles.

What was a tradition the beatles did on tour?
Asked by Wiki User
The Beatles got tired of touring not long after they became the headliners. They were disappointed at not being able to hear themselves onstage, for all the fans screaming, and knew nobody else could hear them either. (This is the reason only one live Beatles album, The Beatles At The Hollywood Bowl, was officially issued; other shows were recorded, but not considered fit to release. John Lennon remarked "We knew they were f***ing it up on the tape anyway.")
The band also grew tired of having to meet the local mayor and his children, members of the press hanging around, and the countless handicapped people brought backstage to meet them ("Were we supposed to touch them and cure them, or something?!"). "Cripples" became the band's code word to their road managers, to clear the dressing rooms of people.
Women were in abundance backstage; road managers Neil Aspinall and Mal Evans would comb the audience during shows, looking for girls whose looks would appeal to individual Beatles, and invite them back. A few times, prostitutes were hired to keep the band company after shows, or they would visit a brothel. Lennon was once photographed crawling from an Amsterdam brothel, after a night of debauchery, and he later compared the Beatles' tours to Federico Fellini's movie Satyricon.
What are each of the people in the beatles called?
Asked by Wiki User
John Lennon, the groups "leader" he played mostly guitar, but also piano, harmonica, and of course he sung extremely well. He lived from 1940, to 1980, after an insane admirer shot him. Paul McCartney, the bassist, he also played electric and acoustic guitar, piano, trumpet, drums and he sang just as well as John. He is 72 years old. They all play a million instruments though. George Harrison is another guitarist, he played all kinds of guitar, and probably drums too. He also sings very well. He died in 2003 of cancer (they all smoked back in the 60s), and was born in 1943. Richard Starkey, the drummer, is almost always referred to as Ringo Starr. Ringo is an amazing drummer, he can sing, but not very well. He knows a few chords on guitar and piano, but percussion is his forte. He is 70 years old.

Asked by Wiki User

Why did the Beatles promote drug use?
Asked by Wiki User
The same reason any other bands 'start' - because they like music
Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr were all enthralled by the rock'n'roll movement; inspired by artists like Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Buddy Holly and many many more
In their time (the late 1950s was when they first formed) rock'n'roll was seen as a rebellious outlet for young people, and each member of the Beatles had his own reason to rebel
