The Beatles were not asked to leave, but got in a snit over imagined wrongs generated by unstressing and left on their own accord. Regarding the statement by George Harrison to the effect that he didn't want to lie, this is just the usual confused nonsense from a non-too-bright minstrel who liked to talk off and on about spirituality. ------------------------ Yahoo!
