3. What Is My Life? Give Me Love
Edited on Tue Sep-18-07 10:30 AM by Feles Mala
Superb songs.

Saw Goodfellas, again, the other night. Love it when What Is My Life? kicks in during the climactic helicopter scene.

George and John needed each other to finish their songs. That's why so much of their solo work sounds incomplete.

7. John wrote from his head. George wrote from his heart.
I think Lennon was a superb songwriter, especially after The Beatles broke up.

16. I watched Paul and Ringo on Larry King a few weeks back
He has a razor sharp mind and is so quick witted while still being down to earth.

10. George was the musical talent.....
Really no question about it, in my mind. Granted, they all had/have talent but George really had the gift.

13. He did all the makeup on the Planet of the Apes movies.
When they did the autopsy, they found $15.00 in change in his stomach. He used the Shroud of Turin as a golf towel!

12. It was the combination of 4 amazing talents
Each had a different style and focus. They were a gift.
