mjzee Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) Brian Wilson's favorite Beatles song is "Across the Universe." Smokey Robinson's is "Yesterday." John Lennon said he would have voted for Ronald Reagan in 1980 if he could. And Paul McCartney's mop-top headshake was lifted from Ringo, who tossed his hair first to stand out. We know this and much more because Seth Swirsky—a songwriter, musician and author—spent seven years with two video cameras asking people to share their interactions with John, Paul, George and Ringo. The fruits of Mr. Swirsky's fevered odyssey appear in "Beatles Stories: A Fab Four Fan's Ultimate Road Trip," a fast-paced film debuting Tuesday on DVD. Mr. Swirsky chose 52 stories from his 80 interviews—each lasting only a minute and a half. There are on-camera tales from stars including Ben Kingsley, George Martin, Jon Voigt, Graham Nash, Donovan, Henry Winkler and others as well as from producers, musicians, engineers, athletes, business executives, personal assistants and groupies.
