The Reluctant Beatle page 30

 The Reluctant Beatle page 30 by ric gustafson


For the first two years of their marriage, George was sweet and kind to Pattie. Then the obsessive meditating and chanting began. This led George to be moody and irritable. George forced Pattie to give up her successful modeling career. When Pattie and George got together with Clapton and his girlfriend Charlotte Martin, Pattie never noticed that Clapton was gazing at her.
After the success of the ' White Album', Paul was already thinking about what the band could do next. Paul knew the band did not want to go on the road again. Paul came up with the idea of a television documentary of the band working on a new album. This was to take place in a studio. The climax would be a one off live performance. 
Paul's song ' Get Back' would be the title of the album and documentary. The project began on Jan 1 1969. The studio was the Twickenham Film Studio. Instead of George Martin, the band picked Glyn Johns to be the producer. For the documentary, Michael Lindsay Hogg was chosen to direct it. Along with Yoko, Paul's girlfriend Linda Eastman was taking a lot of pictures. After a while, tensions began between Paul and George. George hated being there.
