These Celebrities Had Super Uncomfortable Experiences With Donald TrumpBy 1969 The Beatles had much more to think about than Yoko Ono. John Lennon and Paul McCartney almost got into a fistfight when they released The White Album the previous year. Lennon’s contempt for “Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da” in what had become a broken relationship was the reason for that episode. Yet George Harrison had also almost fought John in the papers over some comments he made about the finances of the band. Meanwhile John insisted on taking over ownership of the band from Allen Klein. After siding with John in this matter George and Ringo pitted against Paul against all three Beatles. In other words, before the band parted ways it was only a matter of time.The next week the album took the top spot on the Billboard 200 and remained there for an incredible seven weeks. While Paul had reached No. 1 with his first solo album-timed just before Let It Be’s release-George’s hit single was a former Beatle’s first to go No. 1 side. That fast and giant success meant that in more ways than one, George was a free man. Apparently he has become used to the sensation. Over the next few years more hit singles and albums will follow. It became unlikely within three years that he would ever be joining his old band.
By 1974 Harrison did not see the point of a reunion with the Beatles.
Paul’s dubiously timed comments of a reconciliation when, four years later, he and John settled their differences. But again they have not stopped asking George what he was feeling about it. George was addressing the question during his 1974 tour when it was brought up by reporters. He flatly denied the idea that everyone was “enjoying being individuals.” After digesting the Let It Be film, what he said next makes more sense. “To tell the truth, every day I’m joining a band with John Lennon, but he said I couldn’t join a band with Paul McCartney. It’s not a personal thing; it’s just from a musical point of view. “(Perhaps it was a little personal.) After All Things Must Pass George’s record The Concert for Bangla Desh (1972) won the Grammy for best album of the year. His next solo release in 1973, Life in the Material World reached No. 1. It was a brilliant streak of success but all had changed for George by the time he landed his first hit record. And Beatles fans had to begin to get used to the fact that the band would never be reuniting.
