The best talent in The Beatles got little attention. That one was George Harrison. It was his guitar playing that made the Beatles sound. He got little credit for it and Lenon seemed jealous. George was also a decent song writer as well. Later in life a few years before his death he put together some of the best music few people heard of.

Harrison had an idea of forming a group made up from his friends. It was him, Jeff Lynne {from ELO}, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Roy Orbison, who made up the group The Traveling Wilburys. If nobody's heard their music it's worth listening to especially "The End of The Line".

When someone tells me they like the song "Imagine" I usually show them the words which shocks them when they actually read them. Lennon wasted his talent. His fame went to his head and stayed there thus becoming an attention seeking freak. Yoko's singing reminds me of Morticia on the Addams Family. Kinda like fingers on a chalk board. No chalk board should be tortured like that :>}

George Harrison was always my favorite. He had such heart, which Lennon seemed so cold and cynical. Never liked him, even as a kid.

I loved the Traveling Wilburys, especially the video with the empty rocking chair, to remember Roy Orbison ...

have you listened to the bootleg from the twickenham and abbey road sessions leading to the let it be album? lots of george’s all things must pass stuff. he was writing a lot, but complained that john and paul refused to help him as they did each other.
