Paul's healing well from his concussion, so now we've got a fuller picture. Ringo and Adam Guettel went there to talk to Sam Mendes and Mr. Mescal. It didn't go well, and that's when they pulled a gun on Ringo. There was somebody else in the room, so Ringo ended up maiming two of them. They later died of the injuries + police gunfire, but Sam ran away. - At this point, James McCartney slit Michelle's wrists in the other room. Paul had been partially untied, but was still in his chair. James came at him with a knife, knocking over the chair. The part about Paul snapping his neck with his feet was true: it was an accident. - Sam ended up in a standoff with the police, and that's how he was killed. Why was Adam there? He knew Sam well, and was on board with my suggestion that Disney and Sony should make three other $50 million film musicals. Perhaps he was pitching a film of Floyd Collins? - Paul was poisoned. He had his stomach pumped after the hostage situation.

The plan was to kill them.


The problem in 1960's London wasn't that the boys stopped touring. It's that they boycotted London (yes, really!).

Went on for 3 years. They were fed up with the drug busts and people covering their hits.


They did occasional gigs in other places, but not at venues. As Paul says in the Anthology, they were ultimately a great dance band.

That's what Paul tells me. Given that WB-Discovery owned Newshub, it's a cheap deal. $1 million to clear all the non-WB clips, then it'll be on HBO etc. across the world. Apple Corps sold The Dakume

It's definitely going to ruin Sony and Disney's family-friendly image. The offer still stands: Follies, Floyd Collins, Light In The Piazza, Waiting For The Beatles. That's our way of giving them something in return for the Beatles IP and Taylor's freedom. My point about Taylor's lookalikes is true. That Knicks game picture looks suspicious. We're working out the details, but she won't be with Travis for long.
