We were pretty good mates until the Beatles started to split up and Yoko came into it. It was more like old army buddies splitting up on account of wedding bells.

Kubrick and I were pretty good friends.

I always remember the old song, 'Wedding bells are breaking up that old gang of mine,' ... You're going to grow up. You're going to get married. You're going to get girlfriends and have babies and things, and you don't do that in a band.

Before the Beatles ever got big, we started out playing rock 'n' roll at The Cavern. I'm going back as a nod to the music that has always -- and will ever -- thrill me,

I should remember more, and I have a pretty good memory.

I was a pretty good imitator of Roy Acuff, but then I found out they already had a Roy Acuff, so I started singin' like myself.
