In this revealing book, Fab Four authority Geoffrey Giuliano has assembled a rare collection of the wild and uninhibited interviews the Beatles dared to give to astounded journalists throughout their controversial careers. Giuliano includes intimate conversations with Eric Clapton, Yoko Ono, Donovan, Madonna, and many others who knew and worked with the Beatles. Here, for the first time, the Beatles speak on such previously taboo subjects as drugs, religion and mysticism, Beatlemania, the deep affection that bonded them and the fiery conflicts that eventually tore them apart, politics, family life, the death of Brian Epstein, the sixties revolution, fame, money, the Yoko Ono controversy, their energetic love lives, the tragic murder of John Lennon and, of course, their timeless music.
