Did you know

Mick Jagger's praise of poutine
had a profound effect on
The Beatles.

By 1969 the band was
experimenting heavily
with poutine.
All The Beatles loved poutine
except Ringo.
Ringo called it 'rubbish'
and claimed poutine would be
the demise of the group.

When the album
'Let it Be Poutine'
was ready for release
Ringo refused to have
his picture on the album cover.
His picture was replaced with
a picture of poutine.
George Harrison professed to
loving poutine the most
so on the album cover
George is looking happily at
the steaming poutine.

Two weeks before
the album was to be released
the British government again
banned any recording
'of any kind'
promoting the
'Canadian devil-food poutine.'
The vocal tracks
were re-recorded
and the album was released
simply as
'Let it Be'
