For decades he has been referred to by many as the unluckiest man in the history of rock 'n' roll.
It was a distinction Pete Best had earned when he was dismissed as the drummer for The Beatles in August 1962. He was replaced by Ringo Starr, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Now 67, Best can still be found touring about with his own group, The Pete Best Band. And Saturday and Sunday, Best will meet fans and sign autographs at the Boston Super Megafest at the Sheraton Framingham. The weekend also features film and sci-fi stars such as Leslie Nielsen, Linda Blair of "The Exorcist" and Jonathan Frakes who plays Riker on "Star Trek." Shoe Suede Blues with Peter Tork of The Monkees will perform Saturday night with separate admission.
The Pete Best Band has also recently released a CD titled "Haymans Green" (Light Year/EMI), featuring original, autobiographical material.
Reached by telephone recently in Ontario, Canada, Best clearly embraced his place as a footnote in rock music history.
