[edit] Rambling

Too rambling. Needs ordering with headings —Preceding unsigned comment added by Light current (talk • contribs)

According to Peter Brown, in his book "The Love You Make," Alex successfully seduced Cynthia Lennon the day she discovered John and Yoko in their bathrobes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.13.190.166 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Reply

I defy the "rambling" and "copyedit" person to demonstrate how this article rambles, and to detail exactly which grammar and other mistakes have been made... and to do a better job of it, themselves.

Sources used in this article include All You Need is Ears by George Martin, The Love You Make by Peter Brown, Shout! by Philip Norman, and too many other Beatles and Lennon biographies, printed and online, to practically list here. (A reader of Cynthia Lennon's John contends that Alex was unsuccessful in seducing her, despite Brown's claim, and made this change; I have not read the book, and have no opinion on that point.)

[edit] New information?

There is an article from 3 Aug 1979 in which Magic Alex went from becoming an electronics guru to an entrepeneur in a company that specializes in bullet proof cars for royalty, with the deposed King of Greece as his parnter. Read article at: http://www.injustice.org/nemo/newsfile/ns790703.html

In addition, Magic Alex sold a lot of his souvenir from the old beatle days at an auction an made some good money too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.170.169.100 (talk • contribs)

Does anybody know where he he is now? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.14.108.1 (talk • contribs)

Why, does he owe you money? :)) --andreasegde (talk) 18:35, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

No, I'm just interested to know what happened with him, that's all. I mean, being such an "important person" and mentioned many times, one becomes curious, that's all.--200.14.108.1 (talk) 15:42, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] In-line references

Why does this article not have any? --andreasegde (talk) 18:46, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Because you haven't researched or added them yourself. I did the text, and a list of sources, before this became an issue; now it's your turn. Zephyrad (talk) 23:08, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikify much?

This article is so bad that I don't even want to read it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.15.185.28 (talk) 23:39, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

So stop complaining and write a better one yourself, if you think it's so bad? Zephyrad (talk) 23:37, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
