    Hmmm. Ringo was just what Doctor Macca ordered.
    Whereas Best was a good looking man, Ringo was a bit of a plain sort, but the personality gains were sizable and immediate. Macca immediately liked the pugly shorty and said
    to himself "time to roll, self", and immediately set out to thinking about ideas for original songs to begin serious work on.
    All the above is of course pure speculation
    about events about the Pete Best situation, but
    informed by many things that I have heard over the years. If Pete Best did receive a life changing amount of money for his minor role in the Beatle story, then good for him. It doesn't bother me one bit. He's had to endure the
    REJECT label all these years, and that was
    probably humiliating and painful at times of
    financial need that most people experience
    in the struggle to achieve some peace of mind
    when possible. Nobody ever said the guy was some brut asshole of a human being. He just wasn't quite good enough to work the sticks behind the greatest little Rock&Roll band of
    all time. All the Best, Pete.
    There's audio of Lennon discussing the firing of Pete Best on Youtube. He says "We were getting sick of Pete Best because he was a lousy drummer -- and he never *improved*."

    Lennon and McCartney were clearly determined to get better -- and they did.
