Amen. George was a pretty decent human being as well. Paul and John treated George badly and they knew the money was in song publishing. George was a pretty shy, non-aggressive person who was also the youngest member. If people think bands are a nice place where everyone loves each other then they are dreaming. See Roger Waters the tyrant in Pink Floyd. He made Rick Wright's life pretty miserable along with David Gilmour. Wright was a pretty quiet guy too. John was no saint either. A lousy father with lots of mental issues.

Rick Wright, rest his soul, had a severe cocaine problem in the mid to later 70s that incapacitated his ability to the point he was a non factor during Animals and virtually non exhistant during The Wall sessions to the point that he was paid as a session man on tour and not involved with The Final Cut.

Cut Waters some slack, he didn’t want his musical vision to be ruined by band members drug problems.
