Whenever i’m having a bad day I draw John Lennon sad and smoking.
STEVEN GAINES: Let’s talk about the Hells Angels...
DEREK TAYLOR: Who are the Hells Angels, anyway? There was one, very, very heavy dude, who was paralyzed from the neck down. Called Spider. And this hit someone on the jaw. They hit Donald Smith on the jaw. Peter Brown came over… And shook his finger in his face and said, “Just look here, Spider. Now, behave yourself.”
PETER BROWN: It was Christmas 1968, we were having several parties at 3 Savile Row, including one in my office, where there was a ventriloquist show and children dripping ice cream all over the rug. In residence were also the Hells Angels, drunk and hungry on Christmas Day and impatient for the promised turkey dinner. Frisco Pete, the head of the group, complained loudly. A husband of one of the secretaries asked him to calm down, and he got punched in the face. Now Frisco Pete approached John Lennon, who was dressed in a Santa Claus outfit, and cursed him and everybody else for not feeding them. John, who was not one to back down, even with a Hells Angel, was just about to get into a fight with him when I literally stepped between them. Sounding very much like Brian would have, I admonished Frisco Pete for his rudeness. I explained that the caterers were still laying the table and he would have to be patient. I said he could stuff himself, but to please be patient. Somehow this calmed him down.
"ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE: THE BEATLES IN THEIR OWN WORDS" by Peter Brown and Steven Gaines
30 November 1958
Johnny and the Moondogs perform on Manchester for its talent contest/concert TV Star Search. John performs without a guitar, one arm each around Paul and George, not because he didn't have a guitar but because he'd stolen the one he did have at the last such concert and was afraid it would be recognized.
