I was in a Beatle's cover band at the end of highschool. That was when I acquired my Rickenbacker 360/12 as I was obsessed with Harrison.
Our bass player was a good 12 years older than the rest of the band and had all of McCartney's bass models. The hofner and the rickenbacker are the only ones I recall.
He was a conspiracy theorist BIG TIME and told me how the US were likely behind Lennon's death as he was supporting Cuba, against wars like Vietnam and other anti-american ideoligies.
Basically, his story was the US was against Lennon. When I saw this movie's title, I knew that I had to see it. I can't wait.
