Making "I Me Mine"
In January of 1969, The Beatles entered Twickenham Film Studios to begin work on the music that would culminate in the Let It Be film and album. George Harrison, just back from his visit with Dylan and The Band in Woodstock, NY, was anxious to share his many new compositions with the group and, he hoped, to recreate the collaborative atmosphere he had experienced with The Band. Unfortunately, it was not to be.
John and Paul had always been the dominant songwriters in The Beatles. In their eyes, George was still the “kid” who didn’t have the same experience as a songwriter as Lennon and McCartney. Even as Harrison was writing better and better songs, such as “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” and “It’s All Too Much,” he was still fighting to get his songs the same attention as those of Lennon and McCartney.
