Here are some quotes from the Beatles themselves--quotes which I think give insight to their own first-hand perspectives of the conspiracies surrounding their band and their music.
Ringo Starr
"I'm not going to say anything because nobody believes me when I do." (concerning the rumors of Paul McCartney's death)
George Harrison
"The world used us as an excuse to go mad."
"While everybody else was going mad, we were actually the sanest people in the whole thing."
"I think people who truly can live a life in music are telling the world, 'You can have my love, you can have my smiles. Forget the bad parts, you don't need them. Just take the music, the goodness, because it's the very best, and it's the part I give most willingly'"
Paul McCartney
"There's a lot of random in our songs...writing, thinking, letting others think of bits-then bam, you've the jigsaw puzzle."
"There are only four people who knew what the Beatles were about anyway."
"I had this song called Helter Skelter, which is just a ridiculous song. So we did it like that, 'cuz I like noise."
"On Abbey Road we were wearing our ordinary clothes. I was walking barefoot because it was a hot day."
