            I seem to recall he promised a lot but delivered little.... yet still RIP Magic Alex. Part of the great Beatles legacy. Even if small. Another of them gone.

              Magic Alex was supposed to build the ultimate recording studio, but never finished it.

                  That was an interesting article Nancy! Looks like Magic Alex caused a lot of problems for The Beatles too! His dishonesty didn't help The Beatles one bit! Looks like Magic Alex may have contributed to the breakup of The Beatles! What do you think Nancy?

                      No, there were plenty of other factors. Why do you think he contributed?

                          Thank you Nancy for posting the article, I never realized just how much of an influence Magic Alex had on The Beatles. Evidently, according to the article, it looks like Magic Alex played a major role in many of The Beatles' decisions. The unfinished recording studio was a financial disaster for The Beatles! The dishonesty that Magic Alex displayed within The Beatles as well as the Maharishi in India, then later denied it, is bullsh*t! Magic Alex was bad news for The Beatles!

                              My favorite Magic Alex invention is The Nothing Box. I want one for Christmas After reading up on him, didn't realize Magic Alex wrote half of 'Whats the New Mary Jane?" with John. But John apparently took away his writing credit (?).

                                Yep. It was credited to Lennon/McCartney, but Paul had nothing to do with it. George had more input! Just Google the song in Wikipedia. Tried to post a link, but it wasn't direct.

                                      Hanging with this guy and believing his B.S. shows how naive the Fabs could be, but also how touchingly child-like. Not that one should speak ill of the dead.

                                          I have pretty good eyesight, but I want the biggest monitor I can get my hands on when I go online. I don't really understand the benefit of looking at pictures on a tiny phone screen.
