Are you for real?

Transcribo la rueda de prensa ofrecida por los Beatles a su llegada al neoyorquino aeropuerto de JFK, el 7 de febrero de 1964, como prueba del rigor, la profundidad y la originalidad que han caracterizado a la prensa musical desde, como quien dice, aquellos días en que el pop andaba en pañales:

QUESTION: Would you sing something?
ALL: No!
RINGO: Sorry...

Q: Is there a doubt you can sing?
JOHN: We need the money first.

Q: How many are bald if you have to wear those wigs?
PAUL: I'm bald.
JOHN: We're all bald.
PAUL: Don't tell anyone, please.
JOHN: I'm deaf and dumb, too.
RINGO: They're only a dollar.

Q: Are you for real?
JOHN: Come and have a feel.

Q: Do you hope to have a haircut at all?
ALL: No, thanks.
GEORGE: I had one yesterday.
RINGO: That's no lie!
PAUL: It's true!

Q: What do you think your music does to people?
RINGO: It pleases them, I think. It must 'cause they are buying it.

Q: Why does it excite them so much?
PAUL: We don't know.
JOHN: If we knew, we'd form another group and be managers...
