the Reluctant Beatle page 20 by ric gustafson
George was still seeing Patti Boyd. George met Patti's parents Jock and Diana. Patti met George's parents Harold and Louise. Dating George, Patti received hate mail. Patti was friendly with Cynthia Lennon. She had more in common with Paul's girlfriend Jane Asher. In Feb 1965, Ringo married hairdresser Maureen Cox. Dr Walter Strach helped George find a house in Esher. It was called ' Kinfauns'.
It was decided that the band would make a second film. It would be called ' Help'. There was a soundtrack album for the film. The title song was written by John Lennon. There were two songs on the soundtrack album written by George. The first was ' You Like Me Too Much'. The other was ' I Need You'.
In June 1965, the Queen awarded each Beatle an MBE. In August of 1965, the band played New York's Shea Stadium. The audience was 55,000. Twelve days later, the band met one of their heroes. They met Elvis Presley.
George started playing an India instrument called a sitar. A composer of the sitar was Ravi Shankar. George really wanted to meet him. Their new album was going to be called ' Rubber Soul'. One of the tracks on it needed something extra added. George Martin thought George playing the sitar was just what he needed.
