Wouldn’t it be fun to see how Led Zeppelin came up with ‘Immigrant Song’ and set the record straight in the case of Pretty Maiden and the Shark? Or How Bob Dylan Came Up With ‘Desolation Row’? Or how did Pancham tell Gulzar that he couldn’t set his song – which sounded like a newspaper headline – to music and went ahead and did exactly that?
The documentary also set the record straight that the Beatles didn’t fall apart because “Yoko Ono was sitting on an amp.” Wives, girlfriends, diverse Hare Krishna devotees, actor Peter Sellers, and even six-year-old Heather McCartney were hanging out in and out of rehearsals.

The division could have happened as a natural result of boys developing and wanting different things from life.
McCartney admits the loss of manager Brian Epstein is clearly felt Come back The group needs a father to tell the women to leave them behind. The entry in Harrison’s diary of leaving The Beatles may also simply be a desire to move on, further asserting his identity. Maybe the breakup of the Beatles had such an impact on pop culture, as it was the breakdown of a building upon which so many people put all their dreams and aspirations in an otherwise gloomy time.
Dresses range from shaggy coats and lime green trousers to swirling ’60s purple shirts and polka dots. While Ringo has always been the goofy Beatle, Lennon, with his shy, sly smile, was a revelation… or maybe it was the heroin talking.
Jackson’s “Documentary About a Documentary”, which is reminiscent of Joseph Heller’s one. think it About a painting by Rembrandt showing Aristotle admiring a statue of Homer has historical significance, and it’s fun to see if you have the time and patience at your disposal. The 42-minute rooftop concert is the pot of gold waiting at the end of that rainbow.
