    This guy is way off. Lennon liked the song a lot. He’s even singing it while he’s dancing with his wife. There is no mockery going on. It’s pretty cool to see Harrison playing John Lennon’s guitar, and listening to the beautiful chords being fleshed out.🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

    The song which split The Beatles was Cold Turkey, which was rejected as a Beatles tune. So John decided to go solo.

    It was Lennon who was dismissive of Harrison's songs!! Look back as far as early 1966 & you will find that John hardly participated in ANY of George's songs from that point on!! At least Paul put a lot of time & effort into George's songs. "I Me Mine" is a great song - lyrically & musically. I agree - this probably was the point where George had had enough. Fast forward to 1974 where George really laid into John yelling "where were you when i needed you". That says it all.

      Well the reason why Paul was usually involved was he was the bass player. Likewise Ringo as drummer. John as second guitarist wasn't always required. It's as simple as that. In the same way George as a guitarist wasn't always utilised on John's and Paul's songs. You do see John very involved in 'For You Blue' and 'Something' in the Get Back film.

    John had a habit, on "The White Album" and "Abbey Road," of not attending sessions where George's songs were recorded---his presence would be minimal at best and disruptive at worst. For the "Get Back / Let It Be" sessions, there was no way he could avoid being there.

      John was recovering from his car crash when they worked on George's songs for Abbey Road in July 1969. He was at the earlier session for 'Something' in about April. You also see he's a big supporter of that song in the Get Back film.
      Both John and George as guitarists weren't always required. Paul on bass and Ringo on drums though were for nearly every track. It's as simple as that.

    if youve heard the Nagra tapes from the morning after George quit, the people gathered before John and Yoko show up make it very clear that George quit because he was annoyed by Yoko"s presence, John elevating Yoko to his equal creative partner above George and John's distance from the group to the point were behind the scenes Yoko was doing most of the talking for John. Im sure Johns indifference to georges songs was salt in the wound, but john had always had that attitude. Paul had always kind of guided the sessions. the only thing new was the ever present succubus. also, George and Patty had a major fight and she had left him the night before, so john and yokos constant inappropriate canoodling was very annoying to george.

    But what everyone has to understand is these guys were like brothers they lived out their lives together intensely in the early years it’s natural with their individual brilliance that they grew apart.
    I’ve always thought that had John not been shot I believe they would have re united for live aid I believe the cause would have drove John to make it happen.
    George would have been the hardest to pull in but that’s just my thoughts.
    John and Paul were in such an insane run of song writing it’s hard to be critical of them not listening to other ideas but yes they should of treated George’s efforts with more respect I think that’s fair to say.

      The end, some say, came when Paul heard Long and Winding Road with Spector’s orchestration. Paul had rejected it and felt that if he couldn’t get his own version (now on Naked) of his own song on his own label then the collaboration had come to its end. But those seeds were sown when Brian Epstein died and Lennon famously said “now we’re fugged.” And Paul wanted Linda’s dad to take over band management but the others refused because they feared he’d have an unconscious bias, so they hired a bunch of bozos instead.

      @ that is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg of the Klein story, as you probably know. Major grifter. Funny that music copyright laws changed in 1978. If you’re interested in the He’s So Fine story, also check out the Taurus/Stairway case. Absolutely fascinating. Appealed on grounds that the judge didn’t allow the jury to hear the songs, but in the end that didn’t matter because of how the law changed. Stairway is much closer to Taurus than My Sweet Lord was to He’s So Fine, but these cases hinge more on legal requirements than music. Even crazier was Matthew Fischer’s claim on Whiter Shade of Pale’s publishing. Didn’t he steal that from Bach? And claimed ownership 40 years later?
