More Medford News Soon: Kevin Harrington Roadie for Beatles: Paul: “She’s Great. She really is alright. They just want to be near each other.”

This is Monday, the 20th of January, 1969, Day 8 of taping/audio recording / filming and the way Peter Jackson lets the story unfold, chronologically, as well as the crisp clarity of the 50+ years old aged film is remarkable.

This is a documentary on how to make a motion picture; this is a documentary on how to write songs on the spot by two of the greatest songwriters in pop history; this features Dick James (publisher of Elton John / Bernie Taupin) and the Beatles.   

This is a film on how girlfriends break up bands.  Paul's quote above:  Paul: “She’s Great. She really is alright. They just want to be near each other," it's quite accurate.  My first drummer's first wife would hang all over him WHILE DRUMMING at practice.  It was disgusting.  Then he lost interest in her so she asked me to be her "beard" and get him jealous.   We showed up at a Winthrop carnival together. He wasn't phased in the least.  He's on his third wife now in 2021...go figure.  

So Yoko gets a bad rap.  This happens in every single band.  Two wives of two artists in one of the greatest American hard rock bands from the mid-west, both Born Again Christians, aren't speaking to each other, depriving millions of fans of the magic that rocked the 1970s and 1980s.

Women are the enemy of rock and roll bands.   Yoko is the one caught on camera with the biggest band in rock history.  File Under: The Yoko Effect.   And we are only 6:35 in on Part 2 right now, so this review, out of necessity, is in pieces, fragments that I have to re-edit.

The dilemma of studying eight hours of film.

A document that will be utilized in colleges around the world for all the reasons above and more.

Roadie for the film GET BACK is...

Kevin Harrington...

of course this was 1969/1970 when I was 15 and the nutjob new TV 3 manager was not a spark in his daddy's bluejeans quite yet.

But it is humorous, invisible man Harrington arrives to continue the destruction of PUBLIC access, and the long-awaited Beatles film has a...Kevin Harrington, Hari Krishna and George Harrison.

I promoted one of those names in 1992 as he played guitar on my Alvin Lee record, "Real Life Blues" and e mailed me in the early 2000's.

Whom did I promote?

a)Kevin Harrington

b)Hare Krishna

c)Beatles' Guitarist George Harrison

(C) would be the correct answer

GET BACK PART 2

THE YOKO EFFECT 

Paul: “She’s Great. She really is alright. They just want to be near each other.”

Interesting comment ...Part 2 is intriguing. Ringo Walks in alone...the big film studio ... and some flowers arrive for George Harrison who has quit the Beatles.  Ringo opens the card and it is from Hare Krishna: The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON)

2:46:37 is the slightly longer Part 2 and we are only 6:35 in where Linda Eastman and Paul McCartney have just arrived, and what is unique here is that you hear Ringo talking, then Paul, and they are sorting out the present-time demise of the greatest pop band in history.   Far more compelling than any drama in the preceding two hour episode, Part 1.
