May 25, 1960, Jay Warner, six-time Grammy-winning music publisher, tells me that “while hanging out at Stuart Sutciffe’s apartment, John Lennon and Sutcliffe thought of a new name for their group from a line in a Marlon Brando-Lee Marvin film, *The Wild One*.” Marvin, talking to Brando, said: “We all missed you.” Then, pointing to girls in the gang standing nearby, he adds: “The beetles missed yuh, all the beetles missed…” Stuart suggested “the Beetles” because it reminded him of Buddy Holly’s Crickets. John then varied the name by making the “e” and “a”…as in rhythm/beat. Allan Williams, their new manager, didn’t approve, and suggested Long John and the Silver Beatles. Before they settled on “Beatles,” many other variations were placed on the table, including: Beatals, The Silver Beats, and Silver Beetles. **I focus on this silly fluff stuff for reasons that will become apparent, I trust, for *ridders* of my new article, “Imagine.”** It’s *really* the anniversary of things like the 1915 Second Battle of Ypres; if you don’t know about that abomination…try Kubrick’s *Paths of Glory* (for a variation). Or read. We need to know that stuff like the Battle of New Hope Church, Georgia (’64) and Battle of Winchester, Virginia (’62) will never end the way we’re going. All have anniversaries today. Let’s change gears here. Anniversaries like the the U.S. performing atmospheric nuclear tests at Christmas Island (1962) need to command our attention… as we set priorities… as per my new article.
