Mega pot head who gottaken to the cleaners by a crazy gimp. George was a saint. A really good man. George was treated badly by Paul and John because they would only write together. I recall the final studio sessions with yoko sitting next to John in the studio.

My guess is it was not as bad as being in Pink Floyd with libtard and bully Roger Waters. Rick Wright in Floyd was a founder and gentle soul like George. Waters treated Rick badly.

Ringo Starr was treated even worse than George. Ringo left the band during The Beatles/White Album. Imagine not getting to contribute more songs on the record because they wanted to put on Revolution 9 and threatened to put on Mary Jane Had A Pain.

George was a nice man. It was such a shame when he was stabbed multiple times by an intruder just a year (or two?) before he died of cancer. I guess that it was always a fear of his after what happened to John.

Hardly. Read Patti Harrison's and Eric Clapton's books sometime and you'll learn a lot about George that you won't like. For example, he had an affair with Ringo's wife Maureen while George was married to Patti and Ringo was married to Maureen. He was also a huge acid head and coke head, though he eventually cleaned up to a large degree.
