Any unfavorites? The sculptor Andy Edwards, said 'Everybody has a Beatles story. '
I do, too.
I remember trying to use the Beatles songs to teach English as a foreign language in Singapore. I said:
'This song is: "We all live in a yellow submarine." Do you understand?'
Blank looks.
I explained tried to explain submarine.
I still got blank looks.
Eventually one of the girls said helpfully, 'I thought you said they lived in Liverpool?'
