That's the wrong "George." If George Martin is "the fifth Beatle," then he is the best musician in The Beatles.

When they began, George Harrison could play his lead guitar instrument with less proficiency than anyone in the band played their parts. As the years went on, and as The Beatles evolved, George developed a signature style that is absolutely amazing and that clearly places him among the best guitarists of all time.
John & George, were the resident creative directors in the group. John was aggresive about it, George passive, the creative and the receptive principles fully embodied. John mainly developed the concept of the songs, wrote the majority of the lyrics and the overwhelming bulk of the bare-bones of the music and basic progressions as well. George added his touch to the songs to make them take flight. Despite these observations, the true musicians of the group were (shocker!) Ringo Starr (a consummate swinging drummer) and Paul McCartney. Paul would flesh out Lennon's demos and with John's and George Martin's help would make them into The Beatles wonderworks. Paul is one of the best living bassists on the planet and he can play anything else you put in front of him as well.
So, to get technical (hehe), Paul is the real musician in The Beatles, not George. In fact, as much as I love him and his work, George would have to be ranked dead last in that department. And beyond Paul's technical expertise (none of them could sight-read although Paul could read music and George Martin could probably sight-read backwards), as I alluded to before, John is the heart and soul of The Beatles. His genius outshines Paul's intrinsic talent. For that same reason, some may opt to give that nod to Harrison instead of Lennon. If that's your leaning, then I won't be able to change that. I do, however, want to let you know with this message that it's a complete crock.

Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite!/I Want You (She's So Heavy)/Helter Skelter (Love Version) is magnificent.

I do wish there was a bit more Helter Skelter in there though. For that matter, a ball was dropped because Helter Skelter Take 2 blues merged with the choice sections of the storied 27-minute Helter Skelter and the studio track would have been the crowning jewel here.

Sir George Martin should do a Helter Skelter album or ep next since he didn't use any of that stuff.

I have to do a track-by-track soon.

George Harrison is my favorite Beatle, both Beatles-wise and post-Beatles.

YAY!!!!!!!!

Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she's gone.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Ah... Ah...

Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies,
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
And you're gone.

Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile,
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

The problem is, I have like 24 Beatles albums and some of them are duplicate copies (three white albums, in fact, two Sgt. Peppers). I have heard this stuff so much I could probably give a recital from the first cut on Please Please Me chronologically through Let It Be and even into the solo projects.

My soul screams out to the record industry... Enough with the Beatles already, you greedy bastards!!!

Curioulsy, I've been listening to Living in the Material World lately, though. Good old George. He knew what we all need from time to time is just a little Sri Krishna.

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money
for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
Ah

ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...

You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
all right, all right, all right
all right, all right, all right

Please stop or I'll have to give you a red rep point.

Im living in the material world
Living in the material world

Cant say what Im doing here
But I hope to see much clearer,
After living in the material world

I got born into the material world
Getting worn out in the material world
Use my body like a car,
Taking me both near and far
Met my friends all in the material world

Met them all there in the material world
John and paul here in the material world
Though we started out quite poor
We got richie on a tour
Got caught up in the material world

From the spiritual sky,
Such sweet memories have i
To the spiritual sky
How I pray
Yes I pray
That I wont get lost
Or go astray

As Im fated for the material world
Get frustrated in the material world
Senses never gratified
Only swelling like a tide
That could drown me in the
Material world

From the spiritual sky,
Such sweet memories have i
To the spiritual sky
How I pray
Yes I pray
That I wont get lost
Or go astray

While Im living in the material world
Not much giving in the material world
Got a lot of work to do
Try to get a message through
And get back out of this material world

Im living in the material world
Living in the material world
I hope to get out of this place
By the lord sri krsnas grace
My salvation from the material world
Big ending

Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now
Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
Don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now
You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around now it may show
I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
Don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now

[gmku]

Nah, I can't do it. I just can't red rep somebody who's listening to George. Can't.

Consider yourself lucky. For now.
