Jimmy Nicol!!


Did anyone just LOVE that story?

The guy gets pulled from total obscurity at the height of Beatlemania to replace Ringo on their tour. Talk about being plucked from the Gods.

Apparently he was so overwhelmed by the girls that whenever Paul started his usual "one-two-a one-two-three-four!" routine, Jimmy would sit there with his drum sticks in his hands, completely out of it.

Great story, I thought.

Really? Huh. I guess it would be pretty overwhelming for a guy to suddenly get dropped in the middle of Beatlemania.

I did feel sorry for Ringo when they were talking about taking Jimmy on tour with them and leaving Ringo behind (I know it was necessary due to his illness but still...).
