Janury 13, 1968 –
The Beatles’ non-album single Hello Goodbye was #1 on the Billboard charts for the third week in a row, becoming the band’s 15th American chart-topper. (It was the first single that The Beatles released after the death Brian Epstein.)
John Lennon hated the song. He viewed it as an inconsequential song of McCartney’s, saying it was “three minutes of contradictions and meaningless juxtapositions.” What further infuriated Lennon was that his I Am The Walrus, was issued as the B-side to McCartney’s A-side Hello Goodbye.
