Beatles Offer
Summary: Lorne Michaels offers a check for $3,000 for The Beatles to appear on SNL.
Note: According to legend, John Lennon and Paul McCartney were watching SNL together, and considered it might be fun to take Lorne Michaels up on his offer. Neil Levy was actually dispatched to the lobby in case any members of The Beatles did show up and weren’t recognized by the elderly security guard. Had any of The Beatles show up, Michaels said the joke would have entailed their not being able to play because union rules wouldn’t allow them to use studio equipment. Michaels ups the ante a few episodes later, and gag references would be made in later years when George Harrison and Paul McCartney appeared individually as musical guests.

In the great design of things you’ll receive an A just for effort. Where you actually lost me ended up being in the details. You know, it is said, details make or break the argument.. And that couldn’t be more correct here. Having said that, allow me reveal to you precisely what did work. The writing is definitely rather powerful which is probably the reason why I am making an effort to comment. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, even though I can see a leaps in reason you make, I am not necessarily sure of how you appear to unite your ideas which inturn make the actual conclusion. For the moment I will, no doubt subscribe to your position however trust in the future you actually link the facts better.
