Without rehashing the many permutations of the evolving Quarry Men of the late '50s--the Moondogs, the Silver Beatles, the endless series of exploding drummers--we arrive in the Reeperbahn, the famous cabaret district in Hamburg, Germany, in the early 1960s with a band whose front line is Lennon-McCartney-Harrison because Lennon, in his wisdom, had decided that he would put at risk his dominance to build the strongest group.

Make them think she was going to give it up, and then jump the guys and rob them. Kayoko, a thin 17-year-old with long, permed hair, is sitting with two girlfriends on a wooden bench when she hatches the plan. This grassy...
