Beatles Trivia
With this Sunday finally being the date of the 50th anniversary of The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show, I thought I'd start the weekend a little early and warm things up with some Beatles trivia. Most are easy questions...at least for me....and the answers will be at the bottom. NO CHEATING!! Let's roll...
1. In Maxwell's Silver Hammer, what was Maxwell's school major?
2. Who did Maxwell take to the pictures (movies)?
3. Who in the gallery thought Maxwell should go free?
4. Who is Mean Mr. Mustard's sister?
5. The song Julia is about who?
6. How much money did the Beatles receive for their 3 Ed Sullivan appearances?
7. What was the first song The Beatles performed for an audience in the U.S.
8. In what song did John Lennon write "The Walrus was Paul?"
9. Ringo Starr is the brother-in-law of which member of the band, The Eagles?
10. What is Ringo's real name?
11. 1979, three Beatles attended Eric Clapton's wedding to Pattie Boyd. Who was the missing Beatle?
12. What is Paul McCartney's first name?
13. John Lennon was the best man at this "Everybody Loves Raymond" star's wedding?
Here come the answers.......
1. Medicine ( Maxwell Edison majoring in Medicine)
2. Joan ( she didn't get there)
3. Rose & Valerie ( the Judge did not agree and told them so)

7. All My Loving ( Close your eyes and I'll kiss you. Tomorrow I'll miss you)
8. Glass Onion (Here's a little clue for you all...the Walrus was PAUL)
9. Joe Walsh ( Ringo and Joe's wives are sisters...bet a lot of you missed that one)
10. Richard Starkey ( His son is the more than occasional drummer for The Who, Zak Starkey)
