Murray the K-lutz

What's with that schmuck up Murray the K ? Talk about the definition of mooch/parasite ? Why is this middle aged clown saddling up to the Beatles? One reason - poontang! How or why the Beatles put up with this idiot, who seemed to be everywhere they were in this movie, is beyond belief. History is revenge in this case, Murray has become a footnote of a footnote in the grand scheme of the Beatles. As for the fifth Beatle, Murray may have coined the phrase, but George Martin , as any true Beatle fan knows, owns it.

Neil Aspinall was the fifth Beatle.

It was hilarious watching them pick the guy apart, on the air even. John was the worst, unsurprisingly, with the whole "Pardon?" into the phone and calling him a wanker and all that, but even Paul at one point tried to drum up support for the idea of stabbing him. I loved how after the whole phone interview bit, Murray very briefly gives them a look like he's about to kill them, then goes straight back into his whole hey-hip-happening shtick.

This is my new sig. Do you like it?

bands needed radio play,I understand Murray the K was a big thing,I know The Who were glad of his support when they first went to America.

I don't know if the Beatles needed him but is is all showbiz,why knock the guy,he is hardly the biggest villain in the Beatles story?
