Interesting Things I Found Out One Day While Surfing the Ever-informative Net:
1. Lennon and McCartney wrote The Rolling Stones' first hit, 'I Wanna Be Your Man', after the Stones whined they needed a hit single. Lennon said afterwards: "We weren't going to give them anything great, right?"
2. For a while 'Abbey Road''s working title was 'Everest' (after engineer Geoff Emerick's fave brand of fags), but when it was suggested the disgruntled band go to the Himalayas to shoot the cover they decided they couldn't be arsed and named it after the street the studio was on.
3. John Lennon wrote 'Strawberry Fields Forever' while on the set of 'How I Won The War', in which he had a cameo role.
4. On Coldplay: "Chris Martin looks like a geography teacher. What's all that with writing messages about Free Trade? If he wants to write things down I'll give him a pen and a pad of paper. Bunch of students." (NME, 2006) – Liam Gallagher
5. The definition of paneity: the state of being bread
6. There's such a word as unconspicuous. Always thought inconspicuous was the only right one.
