Watching that Peter Jackson doco about the Beatles.

They are so young!!! I suppose in my mind greatness means a bit more age and experience.

Confirmed all my beliefs about the band. Such hard workers and talented too. Shows how much of an uphill battle waged by Paul it was to get things done tho.

I like how it shows how performing and recording is a huge team effort with engineers and producers, etc

ono really was a fifth wheel. Everyone was so polite to her but she really was in the way. How could she and John be so clueless .

But mainly it's a window into the 60s, when people made documentaries as a form of social protest or art. The filming was the art.

The recording process can easily destroy a band. I've had it happen before. It's a crucible of sorts.

and yet the Beatles already had many successful albums, gone on tours, made two movies, worked together on music and lyrics

I think age had a lot to do with it, as they aged a bit their personalities were becoming more set and differences in work process became more of a difficulty they couldn't overcome.

Ringo never changed, hardest working of the lot he was. imo
