Photo by Mike McCartney:
“On board the Royal Iris just before the boys performed on the all-night Riverboat Shuffle [presumably on July 6, 1962]. They’re in the second-best dressing room — Acker Bilk had the star’s room — behind the captain’s bridge. We’d heard of something called an ouija board. We knew you turned a glass upside down on a table and somehow it would connect you to the supernatural. So the boys held each other’s wrists to create a magic circle. The only thing we didn’t know was that you had to put your hand on the glass!” - Mike McCartney, Remember: The Recollections and Photographs of Michael McCartney (1992) “We once did a Ouija board thing when we were kids, it was just me, George… and John, I think… So we weren’t really into all that, but somebody just said, ‘Let’s do it.’ So we’re touching the glass, you know, saying ‘OK, nobody push it, OK?’ So then, suddenly… whoa, it’s moving! Now, my mum had died a couple of years before and it says, ‘Congratulations… son…’ And we’re going, ‘NO!’ ‘Congratulations… son… number one… In NME!’ And so we were all, ‘Oh, f**k off! There’s no way she would know what NME was’. And there’s George, you know (laughing). He’d been pushing it all the time! Bad boy!” - Paul McCartney, NME, October 2010 (x)

It took only a little time for Ringo to revere, respect and love John the same way Paul and George did.  They were all close, but John was the fountainhead, the man you couldn’t take your eyes off of, the glue, the one each had his best relationship with.  Paul was much closer to John than he was to George, and George was a fair bit closer to John than he was to Paul.”
Does drunken mess best man Paul at George’s wedding mean nothing to you Lewisohn?
I actually don’t think we ever have or will at this point get a proper understanding of the nuances of the relationship between the four of them during the Beatles pre everything falling apart because the majority of sources come from the 70s onwards. The Let It Be argument being misremembered for 50 years by the actual Beatles makes that clear. But sometimes I think about Tony Bramwell (I know) in a random documentary saying that John and George never got along that well and I wonder.
Yeah. I'm not sure how accurate Lewisohn's assessment is. I would probably agree that George "got along better" with John than Paul after a certain point (maybe post-66? or even post-acid?)... But Paul and George seem to have been closer friends in the beginning, and for much of the time period covered in Tune In. That also seems to be George and Paul's assessment! They both appear to confirm that they were pretty close in the Early Days. Maybe George and Paul weren't as close in Hamburg, due to the influx of the Exis. But even that, I think, is a bit exaggerated. Certain comments made by Astrid seem to indicate that they thought of George as a cute little guy, almost like a mascot. :/ (Didn't Astrid dub him the "Baby One?" or was that someone else?) I'm not saying that perception persisted- I definitely think Astrid and Klaus grew to respect and love George as an individual and a great artist. But at the start he was only 17 (!) and that definitely mattered to them. The thing about Paul and George is... as much as George loved and respected John and "got along" with him so much better in later years... IDK, they never seemed quite as "close" as Paul and George. Do you know what I mean? Even when George hates Paul (which sadly I think is pretty frequently, after 1968!) it feels like the way you hate your asshole older brother. Does that make sense? I also suspect that so much of their conflict is based in George deliberately pushing Paul away in favor of John, which is steeped in resentment for John and Paul's impenetrable closeness, making the whole triangle complicated in a way only families truly can be. So even though it seems like a cop out, or oversimplification, I do think the easiest metaphor for Paul and George is always "brothers." And as such I think of them as close, always, even if they are often not the best of friends.

George was a pretty equal opportunity mansnuggler at that party. And good for him! Paul looks delighted to be nuzzling his cheek, to be entirely fair to him.
i think the best thing about the beatles is that, yes, they are arguably the most influential musicians of the 20th century, but more importantly, they are also are four kittens in a sopping wet cardboard box, huddling for warmth.

i don't want to add to that post when people are discussing George's "bitching" about Paul and "throwing tantrums". i think someone also talked about him hating on Paul's Give My Regards to Broad Street. and i want to comment on that because George isn't on a mission of criticising every thing that Paul makes, here's what he says about Paul's song which was included in that movie.
“I have recently been very much in touch with Paul and musically-see all the pens are coming out for this one, I love it. I think ‘No More Lonely Nights’ is a lovely song, I like it a lot.” (x) 
Regarding a question about GMRTBS he says "I only watched it once. I quite liked it, I don't really… I remember dancing […]"  
But it's George and of course he has to throw in a cheeky comment when the interviewer asked about a possibility of Paul doing John's solo songs "Paul? Maybe because he ran out of good ones of his own" (x)

On Granada Reports, December 3, 1976: Watching The Beatles on Scene at 6.30, taped on November 25, 1963 at the same studio. Footage courtesy of YouTube.
“[Y]ou know, I went to school with Paul. He was a year older than me. I met him when I was 13 and we were together for 17 years until we split. People in America think that we got together around 1964 and split up in 1968. But from 1956 I was hanging around with Paul and, a little bit after, John. When you’re so close, you tend to lock each other up in pigeonholes. Musically, with Ringo and John I had no problem. But with Paul, well, it reached a point when he wouldn’t let me play on sessions. It was part of our splitting up. But at the same time I have a tendency to defend Paul — John and Ringo too — if anyone else said anything without qualification about them. After going through all that together, there must be something good about it.” - NME, December 11, 1976 (x)

Lol a very very young McHarrison! Paul's face is hilarious. I wonder what was going on between them there, more than sixty years ago!
