Hippy #FabFoolsFriday, nits! 55 and a bit years ago, George Harrison went on The Smothers Brothers comedy hour in the USA. At the time, the USA was 55 and a bit years away from complete psychopathic world-ending insanity. #Beatles #Comedy

Oh now I get it. Dubai is Golgafrinchan Ark B.
If you were born in the UK and you live in Dubai, you should die in Dubai. That's even if there's world peace.
It's #FabFoolsFriday! Here's one of the rare attempts to tell the Rutles story on YouTube. I can't remember if I've seen it, so it might be rubbish. Have lovely days. youtu.be/_sGBFuvYRgw?...

I interviewed him on stage for Bristol Slapstick, and it was a really fun chat, but despite filming it, they've never deigned to upload it.

I can never get over how much Paul Mescal looks like John Lennon.
It's P-P-P-P-PANCAKE DAY!

It's a Muppet special this #FabFoolsFriday! Here's a whole playlist of Beatles classics as performed by Henson's felt friends, long before they were sold into Disney slavery: youtube.com/playlist?lis... โ๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐ฅ๐ธ
This year will mark the 50th anniversary of the first we ever heard from a certain Ron Nasty, a sufferer of Love Songs, who started the whole Rutles legacy from a Rutland mental institution: www.dailymotion.com/video/xu9sj #FabFoolsFriday #Beatles #Rutles #MontyPython #Comedy๐๐ถโ๐ฝ
I wish more people realised that if anyone has ever publicly admitted that they "don't like The Beatles" in pretty much any way, then you NEVER have to pay that 'person' any attention ever again, or even necessarily consider them to be human beings. That's just how it works.
Having indexed two of these โ Soupy Twists! (on Fry and Laurie) and Fab Fools (on Beatles, Rutles and comedy) โ I can vouch for their entertaining excellence. If you like this sort of thing too, give a follow to

If you want something to cheer up a dull January, can I suggest this fascinating read from @jemroberts.bsky.social - how the Beatles and comedy intersect, from George Martin working with the Goons to funding Monty Python films. This is great fun and an interesting new perspective on the band.
Happy #FabFoolsFriday!
This is not The Rutles โ this is just a tribute. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Np4I... #Beatles #Comedy #Rutles๐๐ถโ๐ฝ

Do you like The Beatles?
Yeah?
Well, why aren't you following this account then? Liars.
Nice chat with Roger McGough here.
Recently heard a bit of our audiobook, and I regret making Roger sound a bit of a flat scally โ his voice is more of a Tarbuck-style mellifluous up-and-down. Sorry, Rog. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
Itโs not just #FabFoolsFriday, itโs David Bowie Day โ the one day between his birthday and deathday. This photo proves Paul was his favourite Beatle, but of course itโs The Rutles heโs best known for sneering at. youtu.be/ADgTb7srgcQ?... โ๐ฝ๐ถ๐
