Bet y'all didn't know this little known Beatle factoid:The White Album got its title because Paul was into the Bluegrass group of the same name, The Whites.It's true, I swear Mani...

I think you're all mixed up there Hooks! As far as I knew it was a Whitegrass group called The Blues. Btw, what's a factoid? An android fact trying to pass itself off as a real fact?!

Touche, my friend... Didn't the Beatles smoke whitegrass quite a bit during the recording of the White Album? Or was it any grass?

Fans call it the white album. If you look it up in a music catalog it will be listed as "The Beatles" or if you look at the cover you see the title embossed as The Beatles.

I don't have a favorite song on "The Beatles" album. There's a couple that I'm not crazy about though. So I decided to make a single CD of the best stuff on there. With a 80 minute CD you can get most of the two albums on there. It's not too hard to knock off a few songs to squeeze the rest onto one CD...Revolution 9, Wild Honey... not my favs.
