that would've been awesome if paul & george had written together and recorded those songs together on their solo albums with ringo on drums, and not made it a beatles thing. but i guess that's why they didn't, because it would become a beatles thing. although all 3 remaining beatles did play on harrison's all those years ago. but that was a tribute to john.
R.I.P George you legend! something and here comes the sun are amazing songs some of the comments are a disgrace no human or any type of life deserves to die slowly and painfully
@Vodoobaby879 Okay...just chill out. At the end of the day they loved each-other very much no matter what anyone says. I don't think he stabbed paul in the back. Y'know your brothers/sisters best friends? how you sometimes get on each-others nerves and you really hate them for a while, well this is just like that. Friends and family fight and say things they don't mean, they loved eah-other dearly infact paul was at George's bedside when he was in his last stages of his life. Thats love. Peace
I can't believe how disgusting and horrific some of these comments are. I don't care how rich and famous someone is; no one should die a slow and painful death and @Kralhonj: I agree!
@publicanimal9 such hatred for someone you've never met. I hope you don't fester with all that vitriole inside you. If you don't have something nice to say...

@publicanimal9 Do you think it's funny? Because your behind a computer screen you think you can say whatever you want? I feel sorry for you if thats how you get your kicks...
@publicanimal9 Poor thing this is how you get your kicks by typing s*** about George, is your life really that boring you feel the need to post vile comments? that just makes terribly sad. Y'know what I would really like to see, you say these things to someones face. HAHA. But no you would'nt dare, you'd get the s*** beatin outta you! so be careful mate...
@Vodoobaby879 I would say it to his face, but I can't be bothered to dig him up. And besides, I should imagine his rotting carcass must smell pretty awful. That said, he still stinks less than when he was alive!
@publicanimal9 Yawn...Pretty bored of this now. And ofcourse you would'nt say it to his face or anyone's for that matter. Get on with your life trolling george harrison (lol). And come back and tell me when you have actually achieved something other than being an absoulte dick.
Only if Paul and John let George write some songs for the beatles...This man was far more talented than Paul and John..A great guitarist,vocalist and songwriter..He wrote fantastic songs when the beatles were about to end the band and released great songs on his solo albums...
If you see the top beatles's songs written then Harrison has multiple songs in the top 5...
George was without doubt the smartest Beatle. He always chose his words very carefully and gave clear account of himself, a level-headed man who despite superstardom on an unprecedented scale always managed to keep his feet firmly on the ground. Top man.
@Kralhonj "George was without doubt the smartest Beatle". That's a bit like saying herpes is the best STD to contract. All four of them are/were idiots. Harrison was a stinking brainless idiot who chanted at the sky....guess he felf like a right prat when his imaginary friends let him get cancer!
@TwoUselessLegs Precisely! Where was his sweet lord when he was caughing his lungs up? And all you need is love....and 10 Rolls Royces! Stupid, disingenuous, hippy twat!
@FrlghtWolf When did George ever say he was a real hippy? Everyone has contradictions about themselves.....some are more obvious than others. I bet if I put your life under a microscope I could find some imperfections. Fuck....I've only seen you write one paragraph and I already can see some imperfections. If you view yourself as a REAL HIPPY....than I would think you would practice being a little more humble? Isn't that a hippy virtue?
for twouselesslegs: FWI Neing "spiritual" does NOT mean you cannot call someone on their mistakes. Their is nothing spiritual about being a doormat. Think about it .
@RobertFCrusader Well, that is something I didn't know. If you note I was quoting someone else. No reason to be hostile to me, I wasn't a friend of George.
I do know some of the people that played with him. If his mgr embezzled from him, I can only say that it is terrible. Not because he is a Beatle, but because he was a person who had his trust violated. Either way, he seemed to leave his family with a fairly decent means of support.
@RobertFCrusader When it comes to thinking about various cords and riffs, the intent may not be there. Have you heard the phrase "where have I heard that before?"
Or did they hear it before or just make it up. It must be a tough biz, to write a bitchin hit only to have the doorman ramble off another title for it.
Jim Keltner said that George Harrison had the best Bull S**t meter of anyone he ever met. He said George could look right through you and read intent. I really believe that. He seems to nail whomever he talks about both positive and negative.
McCartney was every bit the genius John was. I don't believe you can seperate the two. George was definately underrated and under appreciated. Because of john's murder, he was made out to be a better person and a man of peace. It just wasn't true. At least I didnt think so. He could be incredibly bitter and cruel. He wanted peace, but no more than the other Beatles. The bed-in was a joke.
You all have to understand that they had some hard times together. They dont hate each other though, it was more of a sibling rivalry at times. They love each other very much, and you can see that in other interviews, no relationship at any level is ever perfect. It really saddens me when people assume they all hate each other for a lousy interview ever so often. Paul was at George's side when he died, holding his hand. "All you need is love"
@pigsfly96 We all have an opinon and we can all read. I struggle to understand why so many people (you included) make comments to support your view of the lives of the rich and famous and make statements you cannot corroborate. Paul was not at John's side when he died. If he was, then he was obviously lying in the interview outside his house after George died....You have a sidebar there with lots of video's in it, look it up.
McCartney was a control freak, and the other guys simply got tired of working with him. Got tired of him refusing to allow their songs on the albums, of him secretly re-recording their parts in the studio alone. I love the guy, but he was a giant PITA.
Paul Mccartney is dead. seriously why would he not show up to the rock and roll hall of fame? William Campbell is Paul Mccartney. FAUL. Why was he not in the Apple Recording contract loyalties? He is not the real Paul McCartney
Hey, people get angry. The majority of us have no idea what conversations went down between George and Paul behind closed doors. George was pretty quiet, usually though... so he must have been pretty darn ticked to get to talking bad about Paul to the press, etc...
And all 3 of them are geniuses. Lennon was a cut above the rest. In about 5-6 years of solo career (one decade of life minus the years as a house-husband not touching his guitar), he produced some of the most powerful music anyone has ever produced. I can't imagine what more he would have done if he had lived. George didn't have the output of John and Paul, but his peaks were just as high. His best songs belong on that Mount Rushmore of the greatest music ever created.
@superman11978 / I read that John had actually worked on "Free as a Bird" around 1977 (during the so-called house-husband years)....don't know if that's true.
@superman11978 I dissagree. McCartney was the one who was the cut above the rest, which is why he was the most successful solo Beatle (based on success while he and Lennon were releasing records side by side). Lennon was on the way out when he died, Double Fantasy would have not be the huge hit it was had he not died, McCartney on the other hand had several albums of that success in his lifetime.
I LOVE Paul. But there's no question that he could be a big douchebag (he's long outgrown that). And it's true -- he had such a huge ego he thought he should do everything himself. That really backfired against him many times. For a long time, he was considered a cheeseball. You were considered a real loser if you liked him, because he put out so much crap. The shame was that he had some unbelievable CLASSICS as well, but it wasn't noticed under all the other stuff. Thankfully, he grew up.
The Beatles like many of the Liverpudlian's of the era could be pugilists. George could brawl. As for his demeanor if you look at any of his performance pictures ( I own a couple of incredible ones ) he was not animated. His range of expressions was non existent. He was shy , introspective and a genius. The Beatles business squabbles overshadowed a closeness that never exited. McCartney made a heroic business move that in hindsight saved them all.He was vilified by his mates unnecessarily.
George was both angry at a lot of stuff and at peace with other issues, at the same instance.
After the Beatles, He may have avoided the public eye and had depression too which would account for his slim body of work when compared with McCartney.
PROBLEM SOLVED PEOPLE! i got what george said about being a beatle if ur wondering how i got this its in an acctually in a magazine all about him but this comment is not about my magazine so here it is: "At first we all thought we wanted the fame and all that, after a bit we realized that fame wasnt really what we wanted at all, after a while i became depressed.. is this al we have to look forward to in life? being chased around by hooting lunatics from hotel to hotel?" ACCTUALLY FROM GEORGE!
Ok i love George with all my heart but i think it was kind of rude of him to say that it didnt mean anything at all to him. And to most of you people who say hes depressed, he was more depressed when with The Beatles. Look at some pictures of George With The Fab Four..
i remember that interview with chris ward it was on much music canada, he was promoting cloud 9 album the interview was actually one hour long, i watched it live at the time
George is asked to comment about Paul. His answers are always completely honest, and the reason he says both a good and sometimes seemingly bad thing is because he tells the viewers the truth, but doesn't want them thinking that he is only considering the negative aspect. In fact, it is exactly the opposite of that. You should hear some of the interviews from John about Paul. He completely bashes him ten fold greater. Paul was always a media junkie, trying to be successful rather than true.
@jiffygay - Many Beatle historians do not consider Paul reliable anymore. They don't think he's "lying", rather...that he's told these stories so often that he seems to now be embellishing or confabulating. Paul's wicked decline in musical quality, his marriage and divorce to the one-legged harpie and now, his confusing recollections of the Fab Four leave people shaking their heads. He's not "old", he's just BIZARRE!
@CubanCheGuevara I have to say, even Paul himself has a code word for this "I tend to remember the good things..." He said that a lot. That's his way to cope with life stresses when things go wrong, including when he had to sue the rest of his Beatles Brothers to extract himself out of Allen Klein's management contract, and during his "Japanese Holiday" ;-). Paul admitted that he tried to forget the bad stuff so he can move on and get past it. I'd say that's an admirable quality.
@CubanCheGuevara As for Beatles Historians... well, how many historians really get to interview the primary sources anyway? They're better off interviewing others around the Beatles and examining local records. Of COURSE the surviving Beatles themselves have their own reasons to withhold information when it suits them, or embellish it. And when writers and journalist are allowed to lie on print, why not the Beatles? They are humans too, with feelings and inhibition like anyone else.
@thegrinchl7 George Harrison gave gazilliions of dollars to charities, always anonymously. People Magazine wrote that about him after he died. That's how he lived.
@zyxquark Elvis in no way wore his hair like this..It was the 80s & that was the style guy's wore, I wish more guy's today wore their hair like this? It was a great look. Now it looks like the hair went back to the 50's boring look!
It's easy enough to say only nice, or neutral, things about someone else. But certainly George has a puffed up and fragile ego just like everyone else, which makes you wonder what was "spiritual" about him other than the themes of some of his songs. He often has a nasty undertone in his interviews, resentments and fears he seems to have never transcended, and he's just another pop star in that regard.
One should not be disapointed in George's words about Paul. Just because you are talented, rich and famous does not mean you do not have the myriad of emotions that we all have: anger, disappointment, jealously, hurt etc....So what? George was a human.
I think mystical0319 is mistaken in assuming Paul and George had no contact until the last 10 years of George's life. It's well known that Paul & George (and Ringo) played together at Eric Clapton's wedding in 1979 and George also invited Paul to provide backing vocals for "All Those Years Ago" in 1981. Also, various interviews from both Paul and George during the 80s mention that they were in contact and on good terms. As for gold/platinum discs, you need to look at Paul's sales again.
George wasn't bitter! John, George and Ringo were always a tight group of friends, it was Paul who was the difficult one, and consequently the outsider.
As for jealously, never! Just look at the success that George enjoyed (see comment below from mystical0319) not only with his music, and films, but mostly as a remarkable human being. He should have been knighted for his charity work, ie the first ever Band Aid style concert in 1971 - NO Bob Geldof was NOT the first to come up with the idea!
Do any of you know what you're talking about? Paul wasn't at induction of the Hall of Fame for the Beatles because he insisted on George and Ringo signing some contract. Paul hadn't been in George's life at all until about 10 years before George died. Paul is the reason the Beatles ended. George went gold/platinum 3 times, John once for Imagine, Paul never....duh, if ur gonna make a statement downing George, look at how he lived his life compared to Faul.
Dude, do you study first. There are pictures taken in 70s with Paul George together. They were talking and seeing each other in 80s too.
It's OK for you to believe in PID or whatever. But don't come here rant on invalid claims. Paul's Wings was one of the biggest acts in 70s, his sales was miles ahead of the other Beatles, but not always critically acclaimed.
George at times seems negative and bitter: so much for enlightenment.
I wonder if Paul exuded some dominance over everybody else given his
prowess (I assume he scored more #1's than John-who I think wanted to be viewed as the leader in all aspects). A more enlightened George would say: wow after 30 years what would a collaboration be like? -think of the possibilities!!!
@elkeism Well, watch his biography by Martin Scorsese, "Living in Material World." - Just the title alone immediately suggests that this is a conflicted personality. He WANTS to be enlightened, but he wasn't (yet?). Problem is he probably resented that fact that he was NOT where he wanted himself to be spiritually. It manifested in his statements - some people would call it bloody damn honest, but I agree with you - they are grudgingly bitter.
Wow, I had no idea George had felt like this at one point. George says "the 30 years ive been in Pauls life and now he wants to write with me? come on" well George knew his number to and he could have asked Paul why does Paul always have to do all the work and get shit on? George is my 2nd fav Beatle but this is sad to me to see that he had hostility towards Paul :(
@CubanCheGuevara He was always a darker soul than the others, but he had a strong sense of humor (albeit dark and dry). Sometimes being an artist means being just a conduit to bring what you feel is an important message straight to the audience or viewer, but it's good effect skips the artist. A length of copper wire brings light to the people, but the wire does not enjoy the benefit of light; rather, the wire eventually wears out. That is an artist's paradox, believe me, I know.
@CubanCheGuevara I know they should be regarded as more than just a conductor when they are also creator, but even the artists themselves very often identify with being a vessel used to carry a message, rather than the creator of that message. And they end up becoming spent, while the receivers of the message benefit from it.
@AnthonydWalsh - This was exactly my point: what George DID and what George SAID were often two different things. Either your understanding of meditation is wrong OR....George did not meditate nearly as much as he claims he did.
@AnthonydWalsh Well, I know one thing for fact - I meditate everyday BECAUSE I want to ward off the depression, and feel connected with something much greater than myself. You would tend to meditate more and longer when you KNOW that depression is around the corner, because you don't want to let it through the door.
@CubanCheGuevara I watched Living in Material World, and noticed the contradiction as well. I think primarily, as the title suggested, George was quite a conflicted personality. I think he really tried in his own ways to get 'past' the squabbles of the Beatles Era, and to rise above it - but clearly, he wasn't succeeding too well. His comments such as "Paul? I guess he ran out of the good one of his own..." spoke volume of his beef against Paul.
@CubanCheGuevara And George tried to justify his not-very-thoughtful comment a second later when the presenter said "now that we got that in camera..." by saying "...that's the truth." But in truth is HOW would he know what the "truth" is? Wouldn't Paul be the only one knowing what the "truth" is about his motivation to adapt some of John Lennon's songs? And even if he did, it would just be a cover of John's songs. Many artist do covers, WHY shouldn't Paul?
I get this distinct sense from both Living in Material World and some Anthology scenes ("Paul was always nine months older than me, even now he is still nine months older than me!) - that George tried so hard to be acknowledged as an 'equal' especially by Paul. That's the left over of Beatles Era feelings, when he probably felt he would never be taken as equals by Lennon/McCartney songwriting team. When John died, all George's effort for attention was directed at Paul.
I just feel bloody terrible for both Paul and George - George seemed to never stopped trying to get Paul to acknowledge him as an equal, and he resorted to all these comments he made about Paul. Paul... he didn't know how to really handle it, other than ignoring George's acerbic comments, and tried to do the opposite - praising George in public and telling how much he loved George's records. But clearly Paul was hurt by George's comments. Good God, Brothers...!
@CubanCheGuevara They are nothing BUT Humans. And I think the "spiritually balanced" person title was something George aimed for, not something that he had become. He knew it, he wanted to be one, but resented it when he realized that he wasn't "there" (yet). Hence the conflicted personality we see in "Living in Material World," I know Paul has his failings and all, but he won't bash his Beatles Brothers in public like that. At LEAST that makes him come up above the petty disputes.
@NanookHawaii You can sort of see why George was angry when the songs on All things must pass are clearly a lot stronger than some of McCartney and Lennon's songs on Let it Be, the White album and Abbey Road. compare the songs All things must pass, awaiting on you all, run of the mill, what is life, behind that locked door to say, Maxwell's silver hammer, Wild honey pie, revolution 9, martha my dear, i've got a feeling etc and you see georges songs are much stronger.
@CubanCheGuevara nah not depressed,just a stoic,critical English guy,which is normal.i think musically he was a critical thinker in general,you have to be to be good.hes dry also,which is quite English as well.ive known many,and they can be dry,stoic,and of course,critical thinkers.not depressed at all.spiritual,mystical,stoic,not depressed.[but then again,who knows,maybe he was?]
@BoyGeorge84 I don't think he felt he could have asked first, since... well, in his mind that would be begging Paul to write with him. EVEN when he knew that if he had asked, chances are Paul would have obliged. I think this goes back to the Beatles era group dynamics when John and Paul called the shots, George and Ringo follows where those two lead. George probably still felt he had to be invited by Paul (since John had died), and he resented that fact.
@BoyGeorge84 And the sad manifestation of the resentment is when Paul DID asked George to write together, the resentment of feelings came to the surface with this kind of comment - which probably more of a hurt feelings that Paul "never asked him to write together" during the Beatles years, when he wanted it most to be acknowledged as an 'equal' by Lennon/McCartney songwriting duo, than an actual hostility. But to the outsider, it came across as hostility and pettiness, which is SAD.
that would've been awesome if paul & george had written together and recorded those songs together on their solo albums with ringo on drums, and not made it a beatles thing. but i guess that's why they didn't, because it would become a beatles thing. although all 3 remaining beatles did play on harrison's all those years ago. but that was a tribute to john.

@FrlghtWolf When did George ever say he was a real hippy? Everyone has contradictions about themselves.....some are more obvious than others. I bet if I put your life under a microscope I could find some imperfections. Fuck....I've only seen you write one paragraph and I already can see some imperfections. If you view yourself as a REAL HIPPY....than I would think you would practice being a little more humble? Isn't that a hippy virtue?

@Flipper79able - Earlier, I had called George a
"fake" hippie. Karakorum responded by demanding
to know what a "REAL" hippie was for which I told
him. George's acceptance of mantle of the "quiet"
Beatle...the "spiritual" was tacit. He never said he
"bitter" and "resentful" either in regards to the way
the Beatles treated him...but we all know he was.
Watch the video "George Harrison Talks About Paul
McCartney". Tell me if this sounds like a "spiritual"
man, a loving man.

I do know some of the people that played with him. If his mgr embezzled from him, I can only say that it is terrible. Not because he is a Beatle, but because he was a person who had his trust violated. Either way, he seemed to leave his family with a fairly decent means of support.

He wanted peace, but no more than the other Beatles. The bed-in was a joke.

You all have to understand that they had some hard times together. They dont hate each other though, it was more of a sibling rivalry at times.

It really saddens me when people assume they all hate each other for a lousy interview ever so often. Paul was at George's side when he died, holding his hand. "All you need is love"

And all 3 of them are geniuses. Lennon was a cut above the rest. In about 5-6 years of solo career (one decade of life minus the years as a house-husband not touching his guitar), he produced some of the most powerful music anyone has ever produced. I can't imagine what more he would have done if he had lived. George didn't have the output of John and Paul, but his peaks were just as high. His best songs belong on that Mount Rushmore of the greatest music ever created.

I LOVE Paul. But there's no question that he could be a big douchebag (he's long outgrown that). And it's true -- he had such a huge ego he thought he should do everything himself. That really backfired against him many times. For a long time, he was considered a cheeseball. You were considered a real loser if you liked him, because he put out so much crap. The shame was that he had some unbelievable CLASSICS as well, but it wasn't noticed under all the other stuff. Thankfully, he grew up.

The Beatles like many of the Liverpudlian's of the era could be pugilists. George could brawl. As for his demeanor if you look at any of his performance pictures ( I own a couple of incredible ones ) he was not animated. His range of expressions was non existent. He was shy , introspective and a genius. The Beatles business squabbles overshadowed a closeness that never exited. McCartney made a heroic business move that in hindsight saved them all.He was vilified by his mates unnecessarily.

George was both angry at a lot of stuff and at peace with other issues, at the same instance.

In many Interviews, George is "Serious"...This isn't a Matter of "Happy", or "Sad", or "Manic" or "Depressed".
I tend to listen more to "What he says", rather that "How he says it".
Just because a Fellow can answer a serious Question with a serious Answer, I don't assume "Depression".
I don't think that "Being serious" is the same as "Being depressed", since "Serious Matters" are not funny.

George is asked to comment about Paul. His answers are always completely honest, and the reason he says both a good and sometimes seemingly bad thing is because he tells the viewers the truth, but doesn't want them thinking that he is only considering the negative aspect. In fact, it is exactly the opposite of that. You should hear some of the interviews from John about Paul. He completely bashes him ten fold greater. Paul was always a media junkie, trying to be successful rather than true.

@jiffygay - Many Beatle historians do not consider Paul reliable anymore. They don't think he's "lying", rather...that he's told these stories so often that he seems to now be embellishing or confabulating. Paul's wicked decline in musical quality, his marriage and divorce to the one-legged harpie and now, his confusing recollections of the Fab Four leave people shaking their heads. He's not "old", he's just BIZARRE!

@CubanCheGuevara I have to say, even Paul himself has a code word for this "I tend to remember the good things..." He said that a lot. That's his way to cope with life stresses when things go wrong, including when he had to sue the rest of his Beatles Brothers to extract himself out of Allen Klein's management contract, and during his "Japanese Holiday" ;-). Paul admitted that he tried to forget the bad stuff so he can move on and get past it. I'd say that's an admirable quality.

They're better off interviewing others around the Beatles and examining local records. Of COURSE the surviving Beatles themselves have their own reasons to withhold information when it suits them, or embellish it. And when writers and journalist are allowed to lie on print, why not the Beatles? They are humans too, with feelings and inhibition like anyone else.

It's easy enough to say only nice, or neutral, things about someone else. But certainly George has a puffed up and fragile ego just like everyone else, which makes you wonder what was "spiritual" about him other than the themes of some of his songs. He often has a nasty undertone in his interviews, resentments and fears he seems to have never transcended, and he's just another pop star in that regard.

I think mystical0319 is mistaken in assuming Paul and George had no contact until the last 10 years of George's life. It's well known that Paul & George (and Ringo) played together at Eric Clapton's wedding in 1979 and George also invited Paul to provide backing vocals for "All Those Years Ago" in 1981. Also, various interviews from both Paul and George during the 80s mention that they were in contact and on good terms. As for gold/platinum discs, you need to look at Paul's sales again.

He should have been knighted for his charity work, ie the first ever Band Aid style concert in 1971 - NO Bob Geldof was NOT the first to come up with the idea!

I wonder if Paul exuded some dominance over everybody else given his

It manifested in his statements - some people would call it bloody damn honest, but I agree with you - they are grudgingly bitter.

A length of copper wire brings light to the people, but the wire does not enjoy the benefit of light; rather, the wire eventually wears out. That is an artist's paradox, believe me, I know.

@CubanCheGuevara I watched Living in Material World, and noticed the contradiction as well. I think primarily, as the title suggested, George was quite a conflicted personality. I think he really tried in his own ways to get 'past' the squabbles of the Beatles Era, and to rise above it - but clearly, he wasn't succeeding too well. His comments such as "Paul? I guess he ran out of the good one of his own..." spoke volume of his beef against Paul.
NanookHawaii 3 months ago
@CubanCheGuevara And George tried to justify his not-very-thoughtful comment a second later when the presenter said "now that we got that in camera..." by saying "...that's the truth." But in truth is HOW would he know what the "truth" is? Wouldn't Paul be the only one knowing what the "truth" is about his motivation to adapt some of John Lennon's songs? And even if he did, it would just be a cover of John's songs. Many artist do covers, WHY shouldn't Paul?
NanookHawaii 3 months ago
I get this distinct sense from both Living in Material World and some Anthology scenes ("Paul was always nine months older than me, even now he is still nine months older than me!) - that George tried so hard to be acknowledged as an 'equal' especially by Paul. That's the left over of Beatles Era feelings, when he probably felt he would never be taken as equals by Lennon/McCartney songwriting team. When John died, all George's effort for attention was directed at Paul.
NanookHawaii 3 months ago
I just feel bloody terrible for both Paul and George - George seemed to never stopped trying to get Paul to acknowledge him as an equal, and he resorted to all these comments he made about Paul. Paul... he didn't know how to really handle it, other than ignoring George's acerbic comments, and tried to do the opposite - praising George in public and telling how much he loved George's records. But clearly Paul was hurt by George's comments. Good God, Brothers...!

@NanookHawaii - If nothing else, it goes to show
you that even the Beatles were human after all.
These ancient petty arguments and resentments
are truly amazing considering their good fortune and
considerable talents. Still, George seemed to accept
the mantle of the "quiet and spiritual" person. Thus,
he at least appeared worse than the others. Even if
he had a legitimate point (and I don't think he did) WHY
would a spiritually balanced person pursue such a
vitriolic negative attack?
CubanCheGuevara 3 months ago
@CubanCheGuevara They are nothing BUT Humans. And I think the "spiritually balanced" person title was something George aimed for, not something that he had become. He knew it, he wanted to be one, but resented it when he realized that he wasn't "there" (yet). Hence the conflicted personality we see in "Living in Material World," I know Paul has his failings and all, but he won't bash his Beatles Brothers in public like that. At LEAST that makes him come up above the petty disputes.

@NanookHawaii You can sort of see why George was angry when the songs on All things must pass are clearly a lot stronger than some of McCartney and Lennon's songs on Let it Be, the White album and Abbey Road. compare the songs All things must pass, awaiting on you all, run of the mill, what is life, behind that locked door to say, Maxwell's silver hammer, Wild honey pie, revolution 9, martha my dear, i've got a feeling etc and you see georges songs are much stronger.

George probably still felt he had to be invited by Paul (since John had died), and he resented that fact.

@BoyGeorge84 And the sad manifestation of the resentment is when Paul DID asked George to write together, the resentment of feelings came to the surface with this kind of comment - which probably more of a hurt feelings that Paul "never asked him to write together" during the Beatles years, when he wanted it most to be acknowledged as an 'equal' by Lennon/McCartney songwriting duo, than an actual hostility. But to the outsider, it came across as hostility and pettiness, which is SAD.
