Something that I recently learned—in the late 70s, George bought the copyright to "He's So Fine," so he was no longer in violation. I don't know if that's why he bought the song, but that was the effect.

If I sing it I usually blend the two songs.
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

As in, "He's so fine (hallelujah)"?

Wasn't Paul the best Beatles drummer? He would be, the smug twat.
Yeah, it was understood that he was the best musician in the band, regardless of instrument (except sitar, I suppose). "The Ballad of John & Yoko," for example, was Paul on drums. Perhaps if he was less talented, or, say, George was more talented, some of the conflicts would have been averted.

(Just finished reading Philip Norman's "Shout!" the other day, so I have Beatles on the mind. An utterly biased pro-John book that takes some unjustified shots at Paul and way too many at George.)
I believe I read that Paul is playing drums on Dear Prudence as well, which was the only Beatles song where I was ever really impressed with Ringo's drumming. Go figure.
