I seem to remember reading something that as a kid Mike had a much more aggresive, combative personality that used to drive older brother Paul's best pal John Lennon nuts. Maybe he was tougher than Paul, so the teenage John couldn't bully him--I don't know. But like I said, I read this a long time ago, so there's a chance I could be getting something mixed up. If any of you have some insight into this I'd be curious to know what he's like.

On a similar note, I see where George Harrison's older brother Pete passed away recently. All who knew Pete said he was very outgoing, friendly, and rather humourous fellow. He looked a lot like George, but was nowhere near as shy. They both looked like their mother's dark Irish side of the family, the ffrench's I thought.
