I have a lot of questions for you john
“We nearly always went up to his little music room that he’d had built at the top of the house, Daddy’s room, where we would get away from it all. I like to get away from people to songwrite, I don’t like to do it in front of people. It’s like sex for me, I was never an orgy man. So John and I would sit down and by then it might be one or two o’clock, and by four or five o’clock we’d be done”. – Paul McCartney, Many Years From Now
immediately after admitting songwriting is like Sex he follows with Yeah so John and I would do it together. do you hear yourself paul.

They’d been invited when George met Jack Ford backstage in Salt Lake City on 16 November 1974.
Olivia Harrison: “This is in the Oval Office with Billy Preston. President Ford’s son Jack had come to some shows and said: Why don’t you meet my dad? I was in the room, and George was telling Gerry Ford how Muhammad Ali had lifted up the Beatles; I think he got two of them under each arm! Somehow they’d got straight into that conversation, then Ford asked him what all the badges he was wearing were and George explained that they were Krishna, Babagi [sic], and the Om sign. Then Ford went to his desk and pulled out a badge that said WIN, which meant Whip Inflation Now. So funny! I remember George wore red handmade Tibetan boots, probably the first hint of any protest about Tibet. A sly political statement.” - Olivia Harrison, Observer Monthly Magazine, June 2009
“We were taken up to into the private apartments, had lunch up there, came down and went into the Oval Office. […] There’s a photo of Billy Preston playing the piano in the White House. He was playing ‘God Bless America’ on the 200th or 2000th Steinway.” - George Harrison, Raga Mala
“According to the briefing paper for this visit, it was the first Presidential meeting with a member of the Beatles. President Ford recognized not only George Harrison’s musical ability but also his efforts to raise funds for UNICEF and various hospitals throughout the United States.
