I use to have a VHS copy of this movie called "Two of Us", which was a fictional account of what might have gone down between John and Paul during an historic 1976 meeting at the Dakota which took place the day of the famous Saturday Night Live plea to get the group back together. It was worth the watch. Need to find it on DVD. http://thedeletebin.com/2008/09/15/t...-as-paul-john/

Though Backbeat didn't really deal with this aspect, I've been thinking a lot about what it must have been like for Pete Best to go through being kicked out only to see them become an instant worldwide sensation overnight. I read he was suicidal for a period of time, and I can imagine how difficult that would have been for him.

Re: Martin Scorsese Movie - George Harrison:Living In The Material World
I saw parts of it and never realized the extent to which he was such a creative force. Very interesting profile for somebody who mostly thought of him as a "backup" guy on the Beatles and associates him with his mid-80s cover of Got My Mind Set on You.

I just signed up on Amazon for an email notice when it's available on DVD. Supposedly it was to be released on DVD on Oct. 10th.

Re: Martin Scorsese Movie - George Harrison:Living In The Material World
I had a friend who used to finish up interviews asking who the potential employees favorite Beatle was.
In general, after a few awkward moments, someone would usually say Paul or John. But anyone who said George had an inside track. Anyone who said Ringo was automatically disqualified.

Re: Martin Scorsese Movie - George Harrison:Living In The Material World
It's obvious that Ringo - good ol' affable Ringo - was the least talented of the four; but from 1970-1973 he had more chart success than the other Beatles, including 7 straight Top-10 singles in a row.
I love "It Don't Come Easy" and "Photograph". And who can forget this classic? LOL
