Who Is The Weirdest Beatle?

“Scan not a friend with a microscopic glass – You know his faults – Then let his foibles pass.” Old Victorian Proverb. I’m sure there’s enough about me that pisses Paul off, but I think we have now grown old enough to realize… that we’re both pretty damn cute! – George Harrison, 2001 The last time I met him, he was very sick and I held his hand for four hours. As I was doing it I was thinking ‘I’ve never held his hand before, ever. This is not what two Liverpool fellas do, no matter how well you know each other.’ I kept thinking, ‘he’s going to smack me here.’ But he didn’t. He just stroked my hand with his thumb and I thought ‘Ah, this is okay, this is life. It’s tough but it’s lovely. That’s how it is.’ I knew George before I knew any of the others and I loved that man. I’m so proud to have known him. – Paul McCartney, 2003

.. so this is basically what happened in my canon

“Originally, there was another verse where George says that John and Paul should have their heads banged together.”

— Chris Difford (Squeeze) on ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’ for MOJO: The Beatles’ 101 greatest songs. (May 22nd, 2015)

But he fades out after “one…two” because THERE’S TWO OF THEM LEFT

"I haven't been to a proper barber for years. George often cuts my hair when we're on the road and Cyn does it when I'm at home." ~ John Lennon
