History Quotes / TheBeatles

->''"This, my friends, is Abbey Road. Somewhere in there, John, Paul, George and Ringo are making music. And you know what, I love American rock and roll, but I have enough brains in my head to know that we’re standing within 50 yards of four of the greatest geniuses of our time. And no matter how famous we get on Rock Radio, what we really are is fans. Fans with attitude, fans with large, attractive cocks, but fans nonetheless. And gentlemen, I'd consider it an honour if you’d join me on this historic night, in a salute to the fabulous four. The glories of our age, the bringers of joy. To our and future generations. For there will always be poverty and pain and war and injustice in this world, but there will, thank the Lord, also always be The Beatles."''

And uh, a legend of rock and roll.. and.. just thanks for being on the show, and... (hit himself) GODDANGIT! That sounded stupid! I knew I'd screw up!
->'''Paul''': You did fine, you did fine, Chris...

->''"[T]hey kept on losing me. They would bring out a new album and for a few listenings it would leave me cold and confused. Then, gradually it would begin to unravel itself in my mind. I would realise that the reason I was confused was that I was listening to ''Something'' that was simply unlike anything that anybody had done before."''
