Дмитрии Быков и его Blue Jew в программе КОЛБА ВРЕМЕНИ

Ivor Davis: Derek Taylor told me about one particular evening while Lennon and the other Beatles were drinking. Epstein revealed he had just finished writing his autobiography, which Taylor actually ghosted. «What’s it called?» Lennon asked. «A Cellarful of Noise,» said Brian. «How about «Cellarful of Boys»?» Lennon wickedly countered. «Cellarful of Goys,» replied Epstein getting into the joshing spirit of things, and not sure whether the «Goy» reference would be understood by the other Beatles. «No, No,» said John, «I’ve got the perfect title— QUEER JEW.» Lennon, sometime later, much to the chagrin of music producer George Martin, was recording «Baby You’re a Rich Man» and insisted on—from time to time—singing «Baby you’re a rich Jew.» At a New York press conference shortly afterward they were asked if they thought Jews played too influential a role in show business. It was a dodgy question. «No comment,» Lennon uncharacteristically responded.
