Yoko gives him a white card with the words "Kangaroo Ring Toss" on it. She goes on to become a founding member of Public Enemy.

27th August 1967 Brian Epstein only takes 5 Carbitral, after a good stomach pumping (which he enjoys) cleans up his act and lives long and well, eventually enters into a civil partnership with John, his long time companion.

Christmas day 1967, Francie Schwartz manages to hide in the closet in time when Paul's fiance Jane Asher comes home early from the theatre. Paul goes on to marry Jane, whose ambitions lie in cake making rather than playing unplugged keyboards.

In the light of the above events, discuss how music history would have developed over the next 30 years.
