Official Beatles biographer Hunter Davies, author of 1968's The Beatles, laments the fact that Neil Aspinall takes his secrets to the grave:
Neil was totally loyal and faithful to them - and yet not at all starstruck. He was more than aware of their foibles, greed, stupidities, unreasonableness, would readily slag them off. It was clear he was part of the family, so while moaning, as all family members do, he would never betray their secrets.
Rest in peace.

The mid-60s are the pinnacle of men's fashion. Look at that picture! Almost everyone in 1966 looked great.
Godspeed, Neil!
Have to agree, D. Skinny pants and ties and Beatle boots have always been where it's at. I'm disappointed cuz I just put a big hole in the britches of my reto Boss suit I found in a used-clothes store for 20 euros.
Yes, I have CPDD - compulsory price-disclosure disorder.
I wish I had it in me to wear ties. I'm usually too lazy to bother with a goddamn shirt with buttons. Suffer for fashion.
Lep,
A good tailor could probably fix that hole, especially if you have any extra fabric in the jacket somewhere.
Last summer I went on a vintage suit binge on eBay and snappped up four tasty pieces. Of course, I rarely have occasion to wear them (without sticking out like a sore, but well dressed, thumb).
Bill Maher ocassionally laments the casualization" of America. The fact that Americans seem to only strive for less and less formality. I do not miss the formality of work relationships but certainly miss the style. It's one reason why I am obsessed with AMC's MadMen. Awesome show with awesomer clothes!
