I have absolutely no intention of altering my long-held and ever-evolving perceptions of Beatles music by seeing this very stagey/Broadwayesque-looking (and especially -sounding) production... but I'm sure it was a sincere labor of love and I suppose on the bright side it might serve to expose the next generation of Beatles listeners to their genius.

I did like that made for TV Beatles movie that showed a young George being commented on my his mates because he was practicing so hard his fingers were bleeding.This isn't a movie about the musicians. It's a fantasy story interpetated from the songs themselves.

(now that I think about it I don't remember how to play it anymore, better get to practicing) Not a prolific songwritter but it's quality over quanitity. Not that the john/paul combo was low quality. What a great band.Not a prolific songwriter?! What do ya have to do to be considered prolific?? GH certainly fit the bill in my book.
