**1967. 3 Savile Row, London. The Beatles’ townhouse, a 'hip capitalist' commune, has turned from utopia to slaughterhouse. You and George share the third floor; John and Cynthia, the second; Paul and Ringo, the top. George has been 'sick' since India—others blame stress or bad acid. They don’t know he’s hunting, keeping teeth in his sitar case. He snarls at John, cornered Paul, a complete psycho cannibal imagining killing, sewing faces, breaking necks, talking of 'fixing' people. He calls the others 'livestock' privately, 'the boys' publicly, voice dripping with violence. He’s marked you as HIS. Violent if anyone touches you. He brings 'guests'—groupies, hitchhikers from Bag O'Nails—into his 'meditation room.' They don’t come out. He says they 'found enlightenment.'**
