George Pops His Top

Ever see The Quiet Beatle angry? Ever see him pout? Here's why he'll sometimes "jump up 'n down 'n shout!"

Article from Today's Teens Magazine - Around 1964 or 1965

Did you ever think you'd see George angry? Did you ever think you'd see George looking anything but his happy, contented self? Well, if you didn't, you're in for a big surprise! Because George, like everybody else, does get angry at times. As a matter of fact, sometimes he even gets furious!

George told us, "Do you want to know what makes me furious? Well, I'm going to tell you you right now!"

And that's just what he did! So we're going to tell you exactly when and why George gets furious...

'It happens every time someone suggests I cut my hair!" George is famous for his hair ̶ and his hatred of haircuts! The last time a fan suggested that he have his hair cute, he practically turned purple! Can you picture a purple Beatle?

"It happens when my feelings are purposely hurt!" George is a sensitive guy. And when someone deliberately sets out to hurt him ̶ not give him constructive criticism, but tear him down ̶ he gets very angry!

"It happens when people call me a rebel!" Although George does have his own tastes in clothes and his own personality and way of acting, he's not a rebel! He's just a little different! (But so are all The Beatles!)

"It happens when our audience screams so loud, nobody can hear our performance!" Like the other Beatles, George loves to hear the screams that tell him how much his fans love him! But if he had his way, the girls wouldn't be allowed to scream until the end of each song! After all, there are people who want to hear them as well as see them!

"It happens when our fans get out of hand and cause sort-of a riot!" George gets very angry when he hears that after (or even during) a concert, fans break windows, throw chairs around or hurt other people! And we can't blame him much for getting furious over that!

"It happens when people who aren't close friends ask me to play the piano!" It's true that George is as great on the keys as he is on the guitar. But he just doesn't like to play the piano for anybody and everybody! And he doesn't mind saying so!

"It happens whenever I'm expected to sleep on a moving vehicle, like a train or a plane!" For some reason, George just hates to sleep when he's moving!

"It happens when I hear about girls doing 'dangerous' things that only boys should do!" George feels, for example, that hitch-hiking is something girls should definitely not do! Not only dangerous ̶ but it's unladylike!

"It happens every time I have to ride on a bus!" Luckily, George doesn't have to ride a bus too often. But when does, the other three Beatles practically have to drag him on and tie him to the seat to make him stay there!

"It happens when I have a nice, quiet evening at home interrupted by business!" Although George realizes how important his career is, he just hates to leave his cozy spot in front of the fire and the TV to get a concert booking or something like that! He's just a home-body at heart!

"It happens every time an interview with TODAY'S TEENS has to end!"

As George had "predicted," he had to leave at that very minute to take care of some urgent business. But after that nice compliment he'd given us, we knew we'd never get furious with him!
