Before they sold a billion records…
[Paul McCartney] said he hated music at school. He went through the whole of his education and nobody thought he had any musical talent whatsoever [...]
One of the students in the same class was George Harrison [...] And nobody thought he had any talent, either.
So this one teacher in Liverpool in the 1950s had half The Beatles in his class.
And he missed it.
