Ever think that Brinsley Schwarz could never have a solo career after that band broke up. What would he call himself? Bad planning, I'm thinking.

Not to criticize the Buggs’ military strategy too harshly, but wouldn’t their use of Raid as a weapon against the Beatles also harm themselves?

After all these years, I just the other day figured out Beatles is a play on words with "beat." I always took it as a play on words of "beetle," the insect. Hoo boy.

Not only Beat, but a reference to the Crickets, considering the debt they owed to Buddy Holly.
Speaking of debts, did Lennon and McCartney get a check from all the various Buggs?--in which case the joke's on the knockoffs.
