The Beatles were just a group of friends who liked to have a good time and make good music. They were goofballs, they were zooters, they were mooks. They were TMC. A group of guys who can give each other shit and make fun of each other, but when it comes down to it, they are best friends who have each other’s backs with anything. They had the audacity and courage to change the music culture, and TMC is inspired by the Beatles in every way. In honor of their 50th anniversary of coming to America on the Ed Sullivan show, here are the top 10 Beatles quotes from press conferences. The beatles used press conferences to show their personalities to the world, and wow, are they a bunch of goons. Here at the 10 best gems:
