At a Beatles band camp, corresponding.
Dearest Darling,
Excellent entertainment! Fab fun!
Gathering gurus honoring Harrison.
Incedently, I’m Jukebox Jury’s karaoke king!
Lousy Lennon - McCartney mimicker nervously narrated Ob-la-di Ob-la-da.
Polythene Pam qualifying quiz rescheduled.
Ringo Starr sings tonight! Totally unexpected!
Unconscience Vienna* visitors waiting wistfully.
X xxx’s,
Yorik**
Your Zen Zen.***
*Legend has it that the unconscience Vienna visitors were the only one's to buy Ringo's Goodnight Vienna LP in 1974.
**You’re probably not going to believe this, but the above correspondence was written by Yorik McKenzie, a counselor at the Beatles band camp since Eleanor’s death, otherwise known as Father McKenzie in the Eleanor Rigby song. He was writing a letter to Eleanor’s daughter Darling (the Darling of this letter).
John Lennon tried to incorporate Yorik into Eleanor Rigby, but Paul tossed it out. Unfortunately, Lennon’s dead and Paul’s not talking to me. So you have to take my word.
Yorik’s a lonely person
Where are his people from?
Yorik’s a lonely person
Get back to where you once belonged
Yeah, Paul fucking hated it.
Then he goes and steals the last line and writes a classic Beatles tune, pissing off John. Thus was the beginning of the end.
*** Zen Zen is Darlings nickname for her Uncle Yorik.
Oh, there’s so much more you don’t know about Beatles lore. But not to worry. I’ll set the record straight.
