Pattie's book said that George once told a stewardess on a plane to fuck off just because she offered to serve him a drink while he happened to be meditating.

George was human and could have a temper. No question.

Very creative and talented people are often temperamental. -- mad

Count yer lucky stars. I got knocked off the side of a building -- only two stories but I used my skull to break my fall. As soon as I hit, I got back up, brushed myself off, and asked my co-worker how I looked. He turned white as a sheet and immediately drove me to the ER.
The ER doctor and my plastic surgeon turned out to be the same guy, so my face got sewed up very nicely, but because when you have a head injury they must always know what the cause is if you get dizzy, they couldn't give me any painkillers stronger than aspirin. I hurt real bad!
The doc took X-rays and told me he'd get them back in 3 or 4 days. When they came back, I was still suffering and I asked him "What do the X-rays tell you?"
He answered, "Well, according to these, you should be regaining consciousness in another day or so..."
DAMN MY LUCK!!!!!

PS: I like Ringo best cuz he's the underdog, he's a natural comic actor (even tho he's largely squandered that talent -- both the Firesign Theatre and the Monty Pythons wrote scripts especially for him and he never bothered to get either one produced), and he made the famous "reverse Beatles" album in 1973*, which is as good as any of the "regular" Beatles albums**!
*(The "RINGO" LP is 80% George & Ringo and 20% John & Paul, rather than the other way around.)
**(It would be even BETTER if they'd restore the long version of "Six O'Clock" to the track line-up, with its cool repeated vocal trade-off that goes back and forth between McCartney and Starr at the end!)

My TBI left me with permanent diplopia. I wear thick glasses with prisms in the lenses.

I have a special place in my heart for Ringo, too. He was a sickly child, and, as you say, he was the underdog. I can see the awkwardness in him in those early newsreels - as if he really didn't belong there with all the fame. -- mad

Doesn't surprise me. Wasn't John planning to tour if he had lived?

Yes, unfortunately WITH Yoko, so had it occurred, you would have gotten only half your money's worth. Just imagine hearing Yoko moaning Japanese orgasms at the end of "Kiss Kiss Kiss". So much for breakfast.

Yes, but I would have known what to expect...so either I accepted it, or did not. No biggie. I got to see George live in 1974....Denver. Dream come true. I don't regret not seeing rest of solo Beatles, though I had chance to see Paul 3 times, and Ringo....about the same.

From my research on five different continents, orgasm sounds are universal.

You mean the accent is the same?
Wow.
If the participant is severely hearing impaired . . . . I wonder if they make the same noises as a person who can hear well.
