George Harrison's Birthday: 5 Reasons 'The Quiet One' Might Be the Greatest Beatle
By Steven Hoffer - AOL NewsGeorge Harrison would have celebrated his 68th birthday today, and while there's certainly stiff competition from the likes of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, Surge Desk started wondering: Could "the quiet Beatle" actually be the greatest Beatle? To be clear, this post is not an attempt to settle this timeless and endless debate once and for all. Even the most entry-level Beatles historian can make a sound argument in favor of Lennon's social impact or McCartney's musical prowess as evidence of one or the other's superiority within the band.

McCartney's Meat Free Mondays: Letting a Few Bad Apples Kill the Entire Tree
By Joshua Chaney - Politics DailyPaul McCartney has backed a campaign that calls for people to give up meat one day a week.
