Watched, and loved, every second (except when Yoko was shrieking into the mic) of it. I call that the "Lucy Ricardo Syndrome". Women adjacent to the business because their husbands are in it that madly want to be part of it but have no talent.

I loved all the bickering because I believe that the only boat that doesn't rock is one that is standing still. From all the controversy, members quitting, the initial disagreement on the end goal, when the light went on (or the bell went off, choose your metaphor) they delivered. That's what pros do.

That being said, they ran the band in a way I would not have been able to endure. The power struggles and the "us vs them" of McLennon vs Harristarr would have pushed me out early on.

It's also to remember the perspective angle of them being The Beatles and 99% of us being nobodies. For all the war stories, nobody here was even close to what they were/are. Counting Preston and Sir George, 4 of the 6 major players are dead, and their legacy is still gaining momentum. That will never happen again. The bet band in the country that schleps their own gear and have never written a song or sold a record (Nobody buys a record with 12 cover songs on it) just has no place in the conversation with them. As good a any of us want to think we are, none of us made it. Gigging around your town and traveling with 2 Econoline vans is not "making it". It's making a living, yes, but it's not making it. But I have said all this before. I never made it to the point where my multi million dollar tour bus took me to the Enormodome where the crew has all my band' gear set up and waiting. Or spending 10 hours a day in the studio writing songs instead of working to pay the rent. The mansion where I'd live is long paid for and I keep making mailbox money. That's just the reality of the difference of making it big and survival.

So I loved every bit of seeing the creative process. They were the absolute best to ever do it. Their work after they quit touring was exquisite and simply perfection. Sir George was a large part of it.
