Just wondering if he's in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame - since he was a Beatle and played drums on some of the Anthology songs?

I don't think so. I just check the Hall's official site (http://www.rockhall.com) and I'm pretty sure he got shafted again. He's only mentioned in the biography.

Just curious. How long did Pete play with them? I take it he has passed away. Yes...No? I'm out.

Without consulting the Beatle gods, I believe Pete joined sometime around 1961. He was canned in 1962, just before their first proper recording session. He then formed another group with some success. Then I think he tried to commit suicide. But he's ok now. He finally got some cash when the Anthology series came out.

Track 5, I'm almost positive that Pete Best is among the living.

Yeah, Pete Best is alive.

I heard he's at peace with the Beatle situation now.

And he probably earned about one million dollars from the Anthology album.

He's touring with his new band. Is he coming to any of your states? If so, are you going to see him?
