Which was?
Lennon in an interview.

LENNON: "It is a diary form of writing. All that 'I used to be cruel to my woman, I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved' was me. I used to be cruel to my woman, and physically... any woman. I was a hitter. I couldn't express myself and I hit. I fought men and I hit women. That is why I am always on about peace, you see. It is the most violent people who go for love and peace. Everything's the opposite. But I sincerely believe in love and peace. I am a violent man who has learned not to be violent and regrets his violence. I will have to be a lot older before I can face in public how I treated women as a youngster."

I'm a huge Beatles fan so looking forward to this.
I'm learning 20 Beatles songs for a gig I'm doing in March.
This blokes You tube channel has been a revelation for the harmonies -

Great list. Maybe I'm amazed
It's down to the bride & groom.
Here is the amazing thing and was a great shock to me.
We have been practising as a 3 piece, two acoustics + electronic kit and 3 weeks ago his wife to be walked in and played all the songs on bass
At the wedding party we will get up and do one song and then say "Hey we have a bass player missing" and then she will get up in her wedding dress.

Let It Be [ the film ] has been almost disowned by the fab four, never much shown on TV or got an official DVD release.
It's edited to show the disharmony in the group, Macca's dominance and alleged bullying,
George's grumpiness [ which was never far from the surface anyway ]
John's apathy and disinterest and Ringo's perpetual boredom with being just the drummer.
Hopefully Jackson can re-edit the footage to show why The Beatles, even when not firing on all cylinders, could produce
sublime music.

Things improved when they moved from Twickenham studios to Saville Row and Billy Preston was invited in..from then on its was a positive experience.

Indeed, you're right, Billy was a good influence and the boys enjoyed working with him.
So looking forward to it ! Can’t wait !
