JJ
MAUREEN
My own feeling about JJ, without knowing anything about him, was that he might have been a gay person, because he had long hair and spoke American. A lot of Americans are gay people, arent they? I know they didnt invent gayness, because they say that was the Greeks. But they helped bring it back into fashion. Being gay was a bit like the Olympics: it disappeared in ancient times, and then they brought it back in the 20th century. MARTIN
I'd spent the previous couple of months looking up suicide inquests on teh Internet, just out of curiosity. And nearly every single time, the coroner says the same thing:'He took his own life while the balance of his mind was disturbed.' And then you read the story about the poor bastard: his wife was sleeping with his best friend, he'd lost his job, his daughter had been killed in a road accident...Hello Mr Coroner?Anyone at home?I'm sorry, but there is no disturbed mental balance here my friend.

I just mean that I could tell we needed JJ, and so when he appeared it felt right. He wasnt Ringo, though. He was more like Paul. Maureen was Ringo, except she wasnt very funny. I was George, except I wasnt shy, or spiritual. Martin was John, except he wasnt talented or cool. Thinking about it, maybe we were more like another group with four people in it.
Masterful...some of the finest writing, and some of the most outstanding characters I ve ever had the pleasure of reading.

After having read it, I admit it was a little bit boring in the end and not really witty...Well, you cant expect him to write rigorously in every of his books I guess...
