The LOVE and HATE of George Harrison and Paul McCartney

All the love in the world means nothing with a complete and total lack of understanding. This is a video I always wanted to make as in; a conversation I always want to have. The puzzle that plagues many sleepless nights for a person who has read too many books on four old men.

It’s a tale as old as time: George Harrison hated Paul McCartney. Paul McCartney deserved it. He didn’t. And he didn’t.
