Discussion[edit]

I have added the "wikify" and "style" tags to this article. I believe it needs work, both to bring it up to wiki standards, but also to reduce the fan-site style content, and to introduce viable references / citations etc. Thank you,

Woolerisms[edit]

I doubt the given explanation for "the best of cellars", that it is a pun on "the best of fellas"; according to the unathorised Beatles biography Shout! by Philip Norman, it was actually a pun on Peter Sellers' then-current LP The Best of Sellers (itself a punning title, of course).

Mind you, since Shout! is poorly-researched (amongst other egregious blunders, Norman claims at at least three points "this is where it all started to go wrong", of which at most only one can be true (things can't "start to" go wrong if they're already doing so); he reckoned that Jane Asher often cooked Paul McCartney vegetarian meals, which is extremely unlikely since Paul stated in an interview that he and Linda didn't go veggie until some time after they were married; and Norman reckoned himself to be an "objective historian" but in the very same sentence spouted the dumb urban myth about the '60s being to blame for everything, despite admitting elsewhere in the book that the Victorians had a much worse drug problem than we do today), perhaps this claim is also debatable.

I came here because of the term "Nemperor"; I already knew about its coinage, but was wondering if there's any connection with Nemperor Records, which was established by the early '70s if not earlier. Or is this just coincidence? -- 217.171.129.69 (talk) 06:13, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
