      jd spencer Troll- George and Olivia truly loved each other- George recorded two love song for Olivia on his final album - 'Never Get Over you' and 'Rocking Chair in Hawaii' and he wanted to spend a lot of time alone with her in 2000-2001 . Look at photos from the lstt two yeas of his life where he has his arms around Olivia and looks so happy with her. Exactly what part of getting up and fighting a maniac even though you have been very seriously stabbed when he stats attacking the woman you love and what part of fighting a man half your age and twice your weight when he is attacking the man you love do you not get?

    You know what- Olivia saved a Beatle's life, and probably more than once- but that is probably why she gets these stupid comments.

It says more about the fairly pathetic individuals who feel the need to make stupid comments about her mouth, laugh, comments on NHS or whatever than Olivia

    One of the reasons I love the Beatles is that I love all four people. Each one of them was/is an individual in his own unique way, and the Beatles was indeed greater than the sum of the parts. George was never my favorite Beatle, but that doesn't matter. What IS important is the message that they conveyed as individuals was consistent with what they said as a group, but each in their own way.

  • @strawberryfields9762

    (What I wrote concerning the attack on George’s life; from a poem about the Beatles; from George’s section)
    The velvet wings of angels
    Crafted into silent stone
    Will tumble from their place.
    Flung out from their pedestal
    It rampages through your space.
    Panes of glass
    erupted from their frames.
    And snowflakes flitter,
    Glittering upon the floor.
    A man of vicious fury attacks
    Eyes blazing,
    His unholy soul is racing
    Retched, howling cries
    And so like John before,
    Desiring, above all else
    That you should die.
    His ghastly shadow
    Incinerates your core.
    Torrid, heinous flames
    Sweeping towards your door.
    His movements shift
    They briskly spasm.
    Like a monstrous phantasm
    Restlessly waiting,
    Waiting until your life
    Was his to claim.
    The gardener of light
    fends him off
    He wages war
    Against the fiendish dragon,
    Until a spear of brass
    had pierced his savage heart.
    He lays alone,
    With wife
    And son.
    In tainted victory.
    Tattered flesh,
    And scarlet blood
    streams from his lungs.
    But had he not fought,
    In Abram’s distorted rage,
    It all could have ended the same

Peppers, where the Beatles started to make fun of themselves, Mystery Tour, where they completely shattered conventions, The White Album, where all the ego and the conflicting personalities began to shine through, Abbey Road, the last time they all came together and created arguably the most perfect album of all time, and Let It Be, the bittersweet swan song, stitched together from the ruins of the Beatles, but still great.
