In ‘66, the Beatles attend a press conference in Beverly Hills.

Q: "John, who is your favorite group in the United States?"

JOHN: "I've got a few, you know. Byrds, (Lovin) Spoonful, Mamas and Papas... I suppose... on that side of it."

PAUL: "Beach Boys."

JOHN: "And Miracles, etc., on the other side of it."

Q: "I'd like to direct this question to messrs. Lennon and McCartney. In a recent article, 'Time' magazine put down Pop music. And they referred to 'Day Tripper' as being about a prostitute..."

PAUL: (nodding jokingly) "Oh yeah."

Q: "...and 'Norwegian Wood' as being about a lesbian."

PAUL: (nodding) "Oh yeah."

Q: "I just wanted to know what your intent was when you wrote it, and what your feeling is about the 'Time' magazine criticism of the music that is being written today."

PAUL: "We were just trying to write songs about prostitutes and lesbians, that's all."
(room erupts with laughter and applause)

JOHN: "...quipped Ringo."

PAUL: (chuckles) "Cut!!"

JOHN: "You can't use it on the air, that."
