Beatles Home Given Landmark Status

The Casbah Coffee Club, one of the first clubs the Beatles ever perfomed in, has been given landmark (Grade II) status by the English government. Located in the home of original Beatles dummer Pete Best in Liverpool, the beatles played there countless times until it closed in 1962.

And if you were to go for a visit, what exactly would you see? Why, there's

wall and ceiling paintings of spiders, dragons, rainbows and stars by original band members along with 1960s musical equipment, amplifiers and original chairs.

Dragons and rainbows? That certainly explains the Magical Mystery Tour. The Yoko stuff's still inexplicable to us.
