I'm about halfway through watching Peter Jackson's
The Beatles:Get Back documentary.Here are some takeaways at the mid-point of this epic:
-This series will probably be a bit boring to watch for non-Beatles fans but I wouldn't say it's for fans only.
-Linda Eastman(the future Mrs.Paul McCartney)was rather lovely.
-The Beatles drank a lot of tea......
a lot.
-Twickenham was a bad idea.
-Billy Preston was an amazing musician.He gave The Fabs a nice kick in the pants when they needed it.
-Ringo was the glue that kept the loose Beatle bits from flying apart.
-I'm surprised by how,eh.....normal The Beatles function as a band.
-I don't know how they did it but this series looks fantastic.
I've been a Beatles fan for many years.I remember hearing their last few singles being played on the radio in the late 60's and even though I was just a tadpole I really liked those songs.
