A bad film of a great man


I've only watched this once so sorry if I overstate but I don't recall mention of much songwise except Something, Here Comes The Sun and While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Great songs but people would be forgiven for thinking that he was little more than a McCartney follower with a dash of Lennon. Yet he 'punked up' The Beatles with the great fuzzy guitar of Rubber Soul's Think for Yourself, he contributed the opening song Taxman and 2 quirky others, Love You To and I Want To Tell You, to Revolver, contributed Within.. to Sergeant Pepper, an album he understandably wasn't massively keen on (as it was overbalanced with McCartney trying to play at being Brian Wilson? Harrison always seemed more a Lennon man) and he made the haunting beauty of Blue Jay Way."Don't be long. Don't belong.' With his finger, like the others, on the pulse of how poorer a world that neglected love, community and also INDUSTRY would become for they were in a wonderful yet changing time. And My Sweet Lord, All Those Years Ago, When we was fab, Handle with Care, and his slide guitar on Real Love which, along with Free as a Bird, were originally 2 Lennon demos. A hippy with his head fully screwed on.
