About Me
- Tribble
- I've passed the threshold of my third decade and am pushing through with little or no interruption. I'm a designer at a paper in Northern California - formerly of North Carolina, but always Texan by birth. I have a beautiful wife, Sarah and a cat named Bob.

Paperback Writer
Yes, this is EXACTLY what I needed to help pass the time. And what a lot of time it will take to read all 992 pages of this meet the Beatles. 992 pages! I'm a huge fan and all (my mother "grew up with them" and I'm "into them" as she likes to say), but that's a lot of effort no matter what Publishers Weekly says. But hey, this is one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time (stayed tuned to my arguments on my top lists. I promise it will entertain, and soon.). They were, after all, Bigger than Jesus. And with teasers such as this: In 1962, when the band cut its first audition for Sir George Martin, all four members had a venereal disease... what self-loving Beatles fan WOULDN'T put down $29 for a copy? And Ringo doesn't even appear until like Page 351.

Poor made fun of Ringo! Let me know if it's worth the time commitment.
Always protecting Ringo! It's not only a time commitment, but also a commitment to working out. the thing weighs a TON! You'll grow abs just looking at the damn thing.
I don't like him any more than any other Beatles fan, but I still say being the worst Beatle isn't all that bad!
