Memo

To:Paul McCartney
From:Stuart Sutcliffe
CC:Richard Starkey, Pete Best
Date:2/12/2001
Re:George Harrison, Reunion

So, Paul, here we are. It seems that George has left us. Gone on to that big concert hall in the sky. Or somewhere. He'll be missed.

George has passed on. John is gone. Paul is dead. Wait. Scratch that last one.

Paul, you are still here. Ringo is still here. And Pete is still alive and well.

And I'm still alive. And my bass skills have, if anything, improved over the past few decades. So how about a Beatles reunion.

It is about bloody time that the four of us toured as The Fab Four. The Beatles is one of the few bands that has not yet capitalized on a reunion tour "with original members." And as Bob's You're Uncle it is now that this should change. Capitalize on George's death, y'know?

We could have Ringo and Pete play simultaneously, adding a new dynamic to the line-up. We could play all the old favourites. We could really rock the world once again.

The fact is, Paul, I'm broke. I'm more than broke. I owe a great deal of money, and don't seem to have any reliable way to pay it off. I've been touring as "Stu Sutcliffe, The Sixth Beatle" for too bloody long. Perhaps the tepid reaction I receive has something to do with my never actually having been a part of The Beatles. Perhaps it has something to do with the lack of name recognition.

So how about it? You in? Call me. Please.
