Want a horse, I got a sheep

I'm gonna get me a good night's sleep

Livin' in a home in the heart of the country

Ed Sullivan Show wall signed by the Beatles with drawn caricatures, 9 February 1964. 'Shortly before The Beatles went onstage for their second set that night, where they performed ‘I Saw Her Standing There’ and ‘I Want To Hold Your Hand’, a stagehand named Jerry Gort asked them to sign the back of the moving wall which was used as the backdrop during the performance. Jerry handed the group the pen and each member of the group signed an enormous bold signature with a facial doodle with Paul adding the word ‘Uncle’ above his autograph. According to Gort, “John, Paul and George signed the wall first and when it came to Ringo he had to lift him up by his waist to sign. Immediately after Ringo signed and completed his drawing he had to run to get to his drum kit before the performance started.”'

Remembering John on his birthday. George Harrison: “He was a very funny fella. And we had a lot of laughs. When we were doing this record for [Cloud Nine] ‘When We Was Fab,’ I thought a lot about John, because he wrote, I think, the best Beatles songs that I can think of — like ‘Walrus,’ ‘Glass Onion,’ and ‘Strawberry Fields.’ Those obvious John-songs. You know, I miss that side. I miss that in music, when I listen to other records. There’s nobody who does anything that’s that *neat*; that fun and unusual and sarcastic and loving… he was great, he was brilliant, and he was a great soul. Still is.” - Guitar World, April 1988 (x)
