If you've spent any time reading my old website (http://www.brokengatesfilm.com/), you know by now that my dad has led a more fascinating life than any of you ever will. Here's the latest nugget he dropped this weekend, between the dog's mid-morning walk and his late-morning walk:
My dad was working as a priest in London in the early 60's. At that time, the Beatles were just starting out and they were doing a tour of Catholic parishes in England. When they were playing at my dad's parish, he got a phone call from an old man. "It's too loud. I'm trying to sleep."
So my dad did what any sensible priest would do - he walked to the front of the stage and said to the Beatles (to the Beatles!) "Could you turn it down? We got a complaint." He said this... to the BEATLES.
After he said it, one of the Beatles ("I'm not really sure, but I think it was Paul McCartney") just laughed and started the next song.
So my dad shushed the Beatles. Beat that.
