After the news broke that the four Beatles were going to be awarded as Members of the British Empire in October of 1965, a press conference was thrown together so that the Beatles could be photographed and interviewed about it all.
However, John overslept and things did not run on time. Alf Bicknell had to go out to Kenwood and fetch John out of bed and he must not have even bothered to brush his moptop, because he had a bad case of "bedhead" going on during the interview.
