Beatles trivial pursuit11/2/2022 ![]() And John Lennon Mostly played his Electric Guitar but he was Not a Lead Quitarist! He was a Rhythm Guitarist…(Yes John Played lead on about 3 Beatle songs) but Mostly Rhythm Guitar longest Rhythm playing Beatle Ever.Īnd The Question about who asked the Beatles to Sharped up their look it was Brian Epsteen…so the Beatle stared Wearing suits and thin ties But the Beatles Kept their Mop Top Haircuts at their Own desire. BECAUSE Paul shifted to bass and play some lead guitar but not alot. If the Question had been Written it the correct fashion: as asking Who was the “Longest Electric ‘Lead’ Guitarist in the Beatle?” than the Answer Would Have Been George Harrison. Then Paul intoduced George Harrison to John on a Double decker Bus Where George Played Raunchy on Guitar and He play it so well Lennon added him to the band. He was in the Group First then came Paul McCartney which played regular electric guitar with the Beatles before Stuart Sutclift left the group then Paul took over playing the bass mainly. Paul, John or George? The real Answer is John. #Beatles trivial pursuit professional#In honor of Chris Haney’s original vision, perhaps we book lovers should go home and dust off our vintage 1982 game boards and play a few rounds of Trivial Pursuit the old-fashioned way: squirming our way through questions about professional golfers and hockey stars from the nineteen-eighties and waiting for the rare question about Dickens or Vonnegut to give us a fighting chance.A few of the question answers were wrong…Like who is the Longest electric guitar player the the beatles ever Had. The fun part about Trivial Pursuit was that there was something in it for everyone-a category for connoisseurs of books and art, yes, but also questions about politics and sports. But even when I want to play the game properly, I find that it is awfully difficult to find willing opponents. Sometimes I sit around guiltily reading and trying to memorize the Book Lover’s Edition cards, an activity that would certainly render a Trivial Pursuit purist apoplectic. The Fab Four become fiends in the amazing Trivial Pursuit game Open the white wedge and find 600 questions on The Beatles. Of the six categories (children’s, classics, non-fiction, book club, authors, and book bag), I am ashamed to say that I can only reliably provide correct answers for the first two. Even for a person who spends a fair amount of time surrounded by books, the questions are alarmingly difficult. No doubt sensing my outrage, a friend bought me Trivial Pursuit: Book Lover’s Edition (released in 2004) several Christmases ago. Worse, the subtle shifting of the categories suggested that in just twenty years since Chris Haney and Scott Abbott dreamt up the game, literature had left the realm of what ordinary, relatively well-rounded people could be expected to know. Every Trivial Pursuit player should have a category that she can own, and I felt that I’d been cheated out of mine. There were still bits of book trivia, of course, but because literature had been folded into the “Entertainment” category, they were mixed in with questions about the names of one-hit wonders and the stars of nineties’ sitcoms I never watched. Worst of all, “Arts” and “Entertainment” had merged, taking over the pink spot and leaving “Literature” out entirely. ![]() “Geography” was now called “People and Places.” “Sports and Leisure” was green, “Science and Nature” brown. I ached for the day when I too would know the answers to questions in all of the categories: “Geography” (blue), “Entertainment” (pink), “History” (yellow), “Arts and Literature” (brown), “Science and Nature” (green), and “Sports and Leisure” (orange).īut years later, when I finally bought my own edition of Trivial Pursuit-Volume 6, released in 2003-the categories were all slightly different. This, I knew from its place high on a shelf in the hall closet, was a game for grown-ups. As a child, I admired my parents’ original 1982 Genus Edition: I loved the plain, dusty blue box, the candy-colored triangular plastic wedges, and the crisp, unbent cards. ![]() But Beatles trivia fills a very narrow niche, lending credence to Curtis’s claim that the kind of “generalist trivia” the original game celebrated has fallen out of fashion in recent decades.įor those of us who love books, there have been other troubling developments in the evolution of the game. Last year, Beatles Trivial Pursuit hit the shelves, perhaps reflecting a desperate attempt to stir the aging boomers’ sentimental longings once more. ![]() #Beatles trivial pursuit Patch#The theme held for questions ranging from foreign affairs (“Which eye did Moshe Dayan wear a patch over?”) to television (“Who was Howdy Doody’s twin brother?”) to the Beatles (“Who replaced Pete Best?”). The game concerns itself with useless information, yes, but useless information of a very specific sort: detritus from the 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s, which flattered the baby boomer by making his golden years seem vital, even historic. ![]()
