Bigger Than Lennon

                                  Hi everyone! I just got my new computer, so expect more updates!

     Last night on Netflix, I saw there was a George Harrison documentary, so of course I watched it. It was more of a "things that happened to George, while focusing on Paul" film, and it jumped around a lot. I only suggest it if you have a severe case of Beatles-itis. It's not for the casual fan. I like they mention Stuart Sutcliffe, but not much is said about Pete Best. Anyway, they had a lot of Yoko Ono in there (do not let that persuade you from watching it,) and she had a lot of good words to say. It's amazing what you can learn on a documentary. The footage they got back then... could you imagine if it had been now? They even got him gargling a concoction that he said Clapton used, and said "your throat will never bother you again."

     My favorite Beatles member was Ringo, but I did like George. I remember when I was still a pup, I would watch all the documentaries I could on music, and one of my favorites was The Beatles first U.S tour. The jokes on that and hard days night, and everything in between and after were great. George was wearing a conductor's hat asking for tickets, and he took it off for the camera saying "it's me!" Also during the ride, he was laying on the luggage rack (due to his smaller stature.) Also, one of my favorite John jokes was asking if Ringo was the best drummer in the world, and he replied "Ringo isn't even the best drummer in the Beatles."

     So I would recommend it, also I would recommend the new SOiL essentials CD. They are missing a few songs, but it is nice to have it all on one CD.

Peace, Love and keep hitting the HIGH NOTES!
