Let’s not forget the “other” 5th Beatle, Murray The K! 😉

> What about the Concert for George movie?

Dwayne Johnson is in negotiations to play Prince, but he’s demanding they write in a scene where he gives Eric Clapton a People’s Elbow.

Not an actor playing him, but the actual Eric Clapton.

There’s actually a sweet story in the first volume that would make a nice small film. It’s about the adventures of Ringo’s step-dad purchasing a drum kit in southern England and lugging it by hand on and off buses and trains all the way back to Liverpool.
