Ebook About This is the story of the Beatles' harrowing rise to fame: focusing on that seven-year stretch from the time the boys met as teenagers to early 1964, when the Fab Four made their momentous first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. From the boys' humble beginnings in Liverpool, to the cellars of Hamburg, When They Were Boys includes stories never before told, including the heartbreaks and the lucky breaks. Included are an eyewitness account of that first meeting between Lennon and McCartney, the inside story of how Ringo replaced Pete Best, an exploration of the brilliant but troubled soul of manager Brian Epstein, and the real scoop on their disastrous first visit to Germany and the death of Stu Sutcliffe. With an eye for life in Liverpool during the 50's and 60's and over 65 eyewitness accounts from those closest to the Beatles, Larry Kane brings to life the evolution of the group that changed music forever.Book When They Were Boys: The True Story of the Beatles' Rise to the Top Review :
This has to be one of the worst Beatles biographies out there. To be frank, I only finished it because it was a gift from my son.Larry Kane who also wrote the very readable Ticket to Ride about his experiences traveling with the Beatles on their American tours, seems to have embraced every questionable source and rumor to provide a book worthy of Albert Goldman for its accuracy. He is clearly trying to milk his passing connection to the Beatles as far as he possibly can.First of all his writing style in this volume is so corny and overblown that my eyes were sore from constantly rolling. I found it helped to imagine an old newsreel announcer narrating the text. Sort of. But the entire book, particularly the chapter introductions are written like bad newsreel narration.One of the annoying pretentious of the book is to give characters stupid nicknames that no one else uses to describe them. For example, John is the Milkman, Horst Fascher is the Protector, Freda Kelly is the Believer, etc. Sometimes he gives characters multiple nicknames and uses them interchangeably.Another annoying trait that carries throughout this tedious account is he feels the name to insert his own name in the responses to nearly EVERY quote he uses (“you see, Larry”). The reason I know these are insertions is 1. most people don’t talk that way when being interviewed. 2. Audio exists of his interviews with the Beatles. They almost never say his name except in the form of a greeting (“Hello John” “Well, hello Larry!”)Yet his book is filled with examples of the Beatles and others randomly inserting his own name in their quotes. It’s annoying. I think he’s doing it to try to provide the illusion of being an insider well-known to all the players.Again, the audio evidence available shows that the Beatles showed Kane no more deference or warmth than they showed any journalist. They answer seriously sometimes and they make fun of him sometimes.Throughout the book he mentions “people who would rewrite history” without citing who he means. Is he implying his book is the only true account? If so, there are egregious errors throughout that will argue against such an assertion. For example, he has Yoko Ono in conversation with John’s long-dead Uncle George. He also claims John called Paul and George “cowards” for firing Pete Best. The actual quote John gave was referring to the way in which Pete was fired. He actually said, “We were cowards. We got Epstein to do the dirty work for us.” We. Not Paul and George. We. Who is rewriting history here?He also claims Pete Best is an awesome drummer. We have significant audio evidence to the contrary (take a listen to the version of Love Me Do on the Beatles Anthology if you want to hear how awesome he is).He has the tendency to elevate minor players in the Beatles story to prominence which by extension elevates himself. A very minor player indeed. He claims people like Mal Evans or Pete Best are not given their due despite all books that are out there. The names of those he cites as not getting credit are well-known to Beatle fans and those who have read more than the most basic Wikipedia entry. Is he doing this so that by extension is own minor connection to the group is also elevated?He likes to reintroduce the same characters over and over and over again and repeats several stories and facts multiple times (how many times do we need to hear that Tony Barrow coined the term “Fab Four” or that Joe Ankrah was helped by Paul and the Beatles?)He cites multiple unsubstantiated stories such as saying Mal Evans contributed “so much” to Sgt. Pepper. What did he contribute? Who can corroborate it? I know he counted on A Day in a Life. Is that “so much”?Other complaints I have are relatively minor mistakes, but still errors that he should have taken the time to correct. For example, he refers to Silver Spring, Md. as Silver Springs. I know that’s easy for someone who isn’t local to make, but it’s still shows a lack of effort.He references Horst Fascher’s father referring to rock and roll as “Hottentot music.” Hottentot is an offensive term used by Dutch and Germans to refer to African people. Yet Kane seems completely unfamiliar with the word and instead says “hot and tot.” Interestingly, there’s an audio clip on Youtube of Kane interviewing John and claiming John called something “daffy” which John disputes saying he’s never said that word in his life. Again, the word is most like “daft” from the context of the audio, but Kane is so “daft” he doesn’t pick up on it.I only mention that clip to give you an idea of the depth and comprehension level the author seems to have. His intuition seems off completely.So give this book a pass. If you want to read a good book about the Beatles, try Tune In by Mark Lewisohn or Magical Mystery Tours by Tony Bramwell, or Many Years from Now by Barry Miles or … When I finished reading Mark Lewisohn’s scholarly and engaging masterpiece, “Tune In,” I felt lost and thought Mr. Kane’s “When They Were Boys” might help ween me off the Beatles more easily. Instead I was shocked to find a massive collection of misinformation within its pages. The other customer reviews pointing out many of the blatant factual errors in this book are correct, but I don’t believe they go far enough in condemning this type of journalistic ineptitude. Mr. Kane was there with the Beatles in 1964 and 1965 and is part of their history. If he were just some third, fourth or fifth party writer interested in making a mark—and there are plenty of them—this book would still be inexcusable. But the fact that he was actually THERE makes this tragic in that his sloppy journalism will contribute to the rewriting of history and muddy the already-murky waters of the sacred hallowed ground that is The Story of the Beatles. I’d like to add one more blatant error before summing things up. On page 32 he writes: “Sadly, by the time he was seventeen, the mother was gone, and now he relied on his music boys, quiet Uncle George, an unsung hero in his life, and his formidable Aunt Mimi….” John turned seventeen in October 1957 and his Uncle George died in June 1955 when John was fourteen. I’ve visited the grave of George Toogood Smith in St. Peter’s Churchyard where John and Paul first met in 1957. Apparently Mr. Kane hasn’t, nor has he had any of “his people” do so for him. It’s obvious Mr. Kane is not familiar with countless points of fact in this amazing history and is perhaps just working on the fact that about fifty years ago he was simply in the right place at the right time. He should be profoundly ashamed. It’s a very sad state of affairs that so many reputable professional sources could supply such glowing reviews as listed above when this book is clearly filled with factual errors and should either undergo a major revision or be taken off the market.
