Ouch. No more land minds.
IMHO Paul was a better lead guitarist than George. That’s Paul on “Taxman”.
We all were.
If George wrote “It Don’t Come Easy” [Ringo’s hit] I never knew that until right now.
I have discovered in retrospect that Prince provided the soundtrack of my teen years.
He became musically lazy. If he had Paul pushing him musically it would not have been the case.
Another thing I only learned years later was that it was John singing background vocals on David Bowie’s “Fame”.
It would have been bigger if it hadn’t been for the “Taxman”....’one for you nineteen for me’.....
The UK had super confiscatory income tax rates during the reign of Harold Wilson and the Labour Party from 1964 to 1970.
It was no coincidence that Sean Connery who made big bucks had a home in Spain or Benny Hill had an address in France etc. etc.
I’m glad George gave it to Ringo, that’s one song where Ringo’s vocals worked real well.
Lmao!
“I think she was instrumental in breaking up the band, that’s all. “
Yoko Ono. And drugs.
It has the same chord sequence as Clapton’s Let It Rain. Probably where he got the idea from.
There’s a demo recording out there of George’s version of “It Don’t come Easy”

Oh my goodness, I am surrounded by Beatles fans.
I loved Rock & Roll, Rhythm and Blues, Elvis, Beach Boys (I lived near the ocean) and anything Blues with attitude from harmonic music.
I hated the Beatles. I celebrated when the broke up. I have spent a lifetime trying to forget ever hearing, “She loves me ya, ya, ya”. Riding on a bus taking a bunch of us to the fields to pick strawberries and having to listen to the girls sing that crap the entire time on the bus is what nightmares are made of.
Ok, show me pics of yourself wearing bellbottoms and their goofy haircuts. LOL
The stench of patchouli oil and incense made me want to puke and caused me to use even more Butch Wax.
Yep, I always kind of noticed the resemblance. Which one was written first?
You’d love this then...
