Such anecdotal (and venereal) gems pepper this quite definitive, nearly 1,000-page tome, recounting the lives of the Fab Four from their ancestral origins all the way through the band’s dissolution in April...
...Another thing about the Beatles and the Pythons: both could be called musical comedy acts. Just as the Fab Four made humor a crucial part of their appeal, so the Pythons frequently used songs in Flying Circus ("Eric the Half-a-Bee," "The Lumberjack Song," "Dennis Moore") and their films.

Love follows the Beatles through their phases: psychedelic ("Strawberry Fields"), Hindu-mystical ("Within You, Without You") and political ("Revolution," with images of protests, then the letters in Peace and Love literally disintegrating...
