So, HOTPE, your "description" of "5th Beatle" reminded me of something else that happened to my husband and me in real life - and was something we watched several times during COVID timeframe as I will describe below. (My apologies in advance if you already know this stuff or have seen it. All others are encouraged to watch!)
I would first of all say that anyone over 40ish who DOES NOT LOVE THE BEATLES - has mental health issues they need to seek medical help for!
Back on June 1st and 2nd of 2010, Paul McCartney was awarded the "Gershwin Prize for Popular Song" by the Library of Congress.
He performed a "recital" at Coolidge Hall, in the Thomas Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress the night of June 1st, 2010.
My husband and I were fortunate enough to see that recital. Unfortunately, for some reason that baffles me, there is no public video of that recital, except for a few short clips.
Paul more or less reminisced about his career and how he wrote the songs with John Lennon, George Harrison and yes, even Ringo. I did not however, hear him mention you! He also then played several songs, accompanied by the Loma Mar Quartet, playing "Stradivarius" instruments - 3 violinists and one cello player.
The value of those instruments alone is sheer mind boggling!
The Loma Mar Quartet was formed in 1997. The members are members or principal players of the Orchestra of St. Luke's as well as internationally recognized soloists and chamber musicians.
However, the next night, on June 2nd, 2010, Paul was featured on one of the "In Performance at the White House" concerts that were hosted by PBS. To be clear - MY HUSBAND AND I DID NOT attend that concert.
President and Mrs. Obama hosted the concert event in honor of Sir Paul McCartney's receipt of the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. The evening included performances by McCartney himself and Stevie Wonder, Elvis Costello, Jonas Brothers, Herbie Hancock, Corinne Bailey Rae, Dave Grohl, Faith Hill, Emmylou Harris, Lang Lang and Jack White, with remarks and comedy by Jerry Seinfeld. President Obama presented the Gershwin Prize to McCartney during the event.
There is, fortunately, existing video of the White House performance.
And a special treat - at the very end of Paul's performance at the White House, the video goes to the recital from the night before where Paul talks about the writing of the song Yesterday and then preforms it.
If you're interested and would like an hour and a half of fun, class and culture and musical greatness, please watch! (Yes - it's from 2010 and dated)

Then, as an extra treat, the following December of 2010, Paul was presented the Kennedy Center Honors Award.
Just more fun, great music and with a little class and culture of humanity!
