never heard this, sorry if posted before or known to you...

Keith will do the odd Beatles cover now and again--just the Lennon/McCartney stuff, though, so far. It would be interesting to hear him tackle a George Harrison tune, which you would think he would, as George played a pretty fine slide guitar.

As it happens, George was Keith's favorite Beatle, as he revealed in 2004.

ridiculous Come On. In Hamburg and Liverpool, up until the psychedelics, Lennon was a voracious drinker. Hard core. And a big time bennie user. They would play 8 and 10 hour sets "foaming at the mouth". And on their US tours he drank a ton. Ate like a pig too, and went into his "Fat Elvis days". Then lets talk about his psychedelic use. By his and other's accounts, he gobbled acid daily like chicklits. He was tripping straight for almost two years. Then him and Yoko moved on to heroin, before Keith. He got through it. And his partying really started slowing down in the early 70's, but the entire time lots of pot. Then his lost weekend...he lived in LA and partied all day, well into the night doing coke and drinking like a Roman. With Keith Moon, Ringo, Harry Nillson, and all the other freaks that would go in and out of his place in LA. Then when getting back together with Yoko, he slowed down dramatically, and was off drink, sugar, chocolate, caffeine, and headed into a macrobiotic diet. But still smoking lots of dope. Dope was his biggest vice. Before his death, he almost looked anorexic, and there was a controversial book that came out saying he had an eating disorder. Yoko scoffed at that, but look at his pics from the Double Fantasy sessions, up to the Rolling Stone shot with him and Yoko naked, and he does indeed look way too thin. And haggard. From other sources, or musicians, and the producer, he ate a very strictly macrobiotic diet and lots of raw fish. An interesting dichotomy.

Isnt it odd tho that the "drug" that had the biggest grip on him up till the end was tobacco...guess what they say is true about how addictive it is...

I've never viewed he Stones rendition of I Wanna Be Your Man as a Beatles-cover, as such. The story goes that Lennon and McCartney had the basic song idea, but finished it off specifically for the Stones to record. The Stones single was released prior to The Beatles recording, too. The Beatles version is just a token Ringo song - though a charming recording, it certainly is.

THANKS, ALWAYS WANTED TO HEAR THE WINOS VERSION OF THIS !
