TRIVIA: The Beatles

By request, here's another Trivia round. These questions were written as part of a guest round last year, and the scoring is given after each question:

1) The only Beatles album that did not include the name of the band or the title of the album on the front cover was Abbey Road. Instead, it was just the iconic photograph of the four Beatles crossing the street. Which Beatle crosses Abbey Road first? (10 POINTS)

2) One of The Beatles met his wife on the set of their first movie, A Hard Day's Night. In less than 5 years, that wife would fall in love with Eric Clapton, and would become the subject of his song, Layla. Name the Beatle and name the wife. (20 POINTS - 10 points each)

3) All four of The Beatles have been married twice. Which was the only Beatle that did not divorce his first wife? (30 POINTS)

4) According to Paul, for whom did he write Hey Jude? (40 POINTS)

5) George Martin was The Beatles’ producer for every album except the last one, Let It Be. Who produced that one? (50 POINTS)

6) Which 2007 movie featured a fictional 60's rock star meeting the Beatles in India at the feet of the Maharishi, where a fight breaks out after John says “Paul’s a big fat cunt.” (60 POINTS)

  1. 1. John, white suit, Ringo, black suit, Paul, barefoot, George, jeans
    2. George Harrison - Patty?
    3. Paul - because Linda died?
    4. Julian Lennon, because John basically abandoned him after he married Yoko and especially after they had a child. Julian has stated that Paul was more his father than John ever was.
    5. Phil Spector? I dunno
    6. Was that the Love Guru? I dunno.

  3. 1. Don't know.
    2. George Harrison and Patty. Cubby's right on that one for sure.
    3. Don't know.
    4. Julian Lennon
    5. Don't know.
    6. Love Guru was my first thought too.

    Beatles trivia is not my strong suit. Did you two make a Stephen King category by chance? :D Mariska Hargitay to you all.
