I remeber reading somewhere a quote by George in which he said that Paul's records should be sold in supermarkets, next to soap powder. : The worst thing about it all is that this resentment went on for years and years... John could say even worse things, but he never failed to admit when he was wrong and tried to mend his mistakes. Something else I'd like to add: everybody praises All Things Must Pass for being the first triple album in history and are all like: "OMG! Look at how many songs John and Paul kept George from showing!!" Actually, I remember reading that only Hear Me Lord, the title track and The Art of Dying were ready by the time the Beatles broke up. Furthermore, the third disc consists only of jams. And each side of the two other discs has only 4 songs at the most. So it could easily be a simple album, with 8 songs on each side :

RE: George's criticisms of Macca
?Sometimes Paul would make us do these really fruity songs. I mean, my god, Maxwell?s Silver Hammer was so fruity.? - George Savoy Truffle and For You Blue were not, mind you.

RE: George's criticisms of Macca
I'm a bit late on the discussion, but I'd like to give my two cents. No matter how much I read about how Paul and George spent hours talking and holding hands before he died, nothing convinces me that George passed away in good terms with Paul. Well, he was about to die... of course they would share one last moment together, forgetting about the differences. But what if George had been killed unexpectedly, like John? As we all know, George spent the 70s bitching about Paul's albums and about how they'd never play together again. Fine. Maybe that was supposed to change after John's death, right? Maybe they'd realize life was very short and there was no time for fussing and fighting. I don't know about Paul, since he was always so diplomatic and never said shit about anyone in the press (that's a fact, whether you think he was being phony or not), but I clearly remember George saying that Paul had ran out of good songs of his own and hadn't attended the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame cerimony to "show off". I wish I could find the video. That was about 15 years after the Beatles broke up. And then comes the Anthology. Honestly, you only don't see how unconfortable George and Paul were around each other if you don't want to. 25 years after the break-up. I think it's sooo weird. I mean, Eric Clapton stole George's wife, for God's sake. And they remained in good terms. What the heck did Paul do to justify such bitterness from George? Was it still because his songs were not taken seriously back in 68/69, even though John was also to blame for it? I wonder if there was something more serious going on between Paul and George. I must say that George's behaviour annoys me a little, since he claimed to be so spiritual and all that. Sorry, I love him, but I have to be honest.
