It is interesting to read all of the comments concerning “Baby You’re a Rich Man”. Some are on the money. Some are fanciful projections. All are fun and enlightening. There is one thing that no one seems to know. Or at least none of the comments I read hit upon it. Where the money in a brown bag reference comes from. When the Beatles were touring, Brian Epstein insisted on being paid in cash and having the cash delivered in a large brown bag; strange. It was one of several of Brian’s business practices that the group witnessed first hand. Brian got a pass because he took them from sweaty, grimy, rough gigs and life styles to being one of the biggest phenomena to ever hit the world’s consciousness. Paul and George were never happy about Brian being suckered in licensing contracts that cost them wealth. But it was Brian. Who else you gonna trust?
