Back in 2008, Sir Paul apparently donated a page from a ledger from the Liverpool’s City Hospital which listed am E. Rigby as a scullery maid. He later claimed that the page was just a coincidence and that he made the name up. Click on the link in my name for the article.

thank you for getting the facts right about Maharishi and the Beatles, how they all realized later that they had made a mistake and were sorry for doubting him. many people don’t know that. a good site about the Beatles’ time in India is: http://www.BeatlesinIndia.com

I heard that Clapton’s “Bell Bottom Blues” was also about Boyd.

That’s 5 ;)

I thought I read somewhere that George’s “For You Blue” was also about Patti Boyd. If so then that makes 4 songs written about her.
Great article…loved it:-)!

@Ian – Although it’s years and years away, I have a deep desire to name my child Penny Lane (and that was before I saw “Almost Famous”!). And yeah, I know Penny Lane’s not the greatest part of the world… :)

Thanks for this post! I agree, Beatles articles are always welcome!

Anyone read the Rolling Stone article about “Why The Beatles Really Broke Up” yet? I was so sad by the end.

If I was a girl, my parents were going to name me Daria Prudence (Prudence coming from the Beatles song from #1 above). Glad I was born male.

By the way, in regards to Beatles Rock Band, does anyone know if they are going to have two microphones so people can harmonize? I’ve always wanted a feature like that.

Great article. Not to niggle, but I think that to be specific about Dear Prudence, Prudence Farrow was “freaking out” in her hut and John wrote the song to literally get her to “come out to play.” Pretty much the same thing you wrote there, but I like thinking about someone trying to reach nirvana and “freaking out.” Very ’60s.

@Zane the tombstone reads John Rigby at the top, but Eleanor Rigby is about half way down on the same tomb stone.
