The Beatles

---

“Did you know that none of the Beatles could read music?”

Verdict: Surprisingly True

This is a classic candidate for WikiVader. Brash, bold, out of left field, and entirely implausible. I heard him say it, and trying to do my duty as one of the children I called him out immediately. I figured, “Ok so maybe they didn’t know music theory…or something like that. But of course the Beatles knew how to read music!”. Not so! Gauging by Dad’s reaction I think this was more of a lucky win rather than an educated knowledge of the facts. I think he heard it, stated it with confidence at the dinner table, then was relieved later to look it up and see that it wasn’t blatantly false 😆. Enjoy the wins, Dad. We all know they come few and far between.
