Apparently, the afternoon that George and Paul had the on-screen confrontation ("I'll play whatever you want me to play or I won't play anything at all" etc.) and quit The Beatles, George went home and wrote Wah Wah.
If only I could write such awesome songs after getting into fights with my friends...
e: I remember this site ( http://www.geocities.com/sunsetstrip/palms/4096/1970.html ) from ages ago, when I was a huuuuuuuuuge Beatles fan, and I thought it was interesting what could have been.

Just finished listening to the album, and I would recommend it to anyone.
Then go ye forth and do so!

They all played (but not at once) on a Ringo album. 3 of them jammed at some famous guys party (John wasn't there because he was lazy, or wasn't invited, or something).

There was plans made to get them all together for a one off gig but a certain asshole who shot John Lennon put paid to that idea...
As for George, wasnt he sued by someone over the song "My Sweet Lord" for plagiarism?

Yes. By whoever wrote "He's So Fine."
After that whole mess, George wrote "This Song" - Funny song, funny video.
My favorite lyric: "This song we'll let be...This song is in E."
But that's the kind of music nerd I am.

Yeah.... what woulda been, I guess!
I reckon they'd have been perfect for Live Aid but.

Back Off Boogaloo, eh?
I still rather McCartney as my favourite ex-Beatle (as well as my favourite Beatle too).
Also Crippled Inside...great song.

McCartney...overly commercial money-grubbing easy listening fanatic. Solely interested in making huge amounts of money (decided not to play Woodstock because it didn't pay enough), and not shy of stealing a tune or two (Yesterday, for example).
And darn proud of it.

Well, if the song had been properly recorded by the Beatles, it would've sounded more like "Doin' Alright" by Smile/Queen, who would've in turned been sued for ripping off George Harrison. Who ripped off He's So Fine.
Damn! Talk about dodging a bullet!
As an aside : did ANYONE ever find out if Yesterday really did come to him in his sleep, or if it was accidentally from somewhere else?

Hah, wrong lads.
For anyone that owns it, would you recommend "Living In The Material World" too?
