  My friends and I spent most of a night listening to Magical Mystery Tour backwards to try to find clues as to Paul’s death - all we did was ruin a couple turntable cartridges …

  @stolicat - I was not that into the Beatles at the time but my best friend did a - 5th-grade? - class presentation on all the “Paul Is Dead” clues. I remember thinking something like, “Wow, you know their music did get AWFULLY WEIRD a few years ago!”

This is incorrect. Starr wrote one song (“Octopus’ Garden”) while Harrison penned two (“Something” and “Here Comes the Sun”)

  According to the OED:
  
  couple
  
  NOUN
  
  3 - informal An indefinite small number.
  _ as pronoun ‘he hoped she’d be better in a couple of days’
  _ as determiner ‘just a couple more questions’

  I even considered that as an alternate definition, but I don’t think that was the implication that the author was intending.

  I realized it wasn’t your quote. Otherwise, I would have written off as couple=few. Journalists should be held to a higher standard.
