7. Yoko will probably sue her out of existence.

As keeper of the flame/guardian of the legacy/seller of the merchandise. Threatens her livelihood.

10. Stuart was a Beatle V 1.0

He played Bass and knew John from Art school. He was a WAY better artist than musician, and tended to skip practice to paint.

When John met Paul, who was absolutely gifted, Stuarts shortcomings were all the more apparent. He declined to tour with them and dropped out of the group. His sense of style was definitely an influence on John, and it is said Sutcliffe came up with the first "Beatles haircut".

I don't think the legendary beating John gave him on a drunken brawl casued the cerebral hemmorage that later killed him; apparently all the men in his family died early from this ailment.
