this song is really awesome... how'bout some other stuff from the white album though? like dear prudence or sexy sadie?
the anthology version is pretty good, too...

I'm old enough now that I've heard this song and practicly every other beatles song enough to last me the rest of my life. All you beatles fans own everthing these guys ever recorded anyway, why not listen to the recordings by yourself with your other old dusty things and leave the rest of us to explore something new.
A case of Old Friend2dogs wants to learn new tricks??

Actually, if you put the arrow over each histogram column you will see that some people have in fact voted 2, 3 and 4
Not sure why tho'  |

This is one of the damnedest things I've ever seen. The guy plays this song on a ukulele with speed like I've never seen that instrument played. Check it out:

Well not quite a 10 perhaps - I'm a hard marker - but certainly a 9. An absolute classic - that still plucks at the heart strings in a big way.

I miss him too. He was so special. I think this must be my very favorite song of all time. |

Favorite Beatles tune. Gotta admit I'm surprised it's so highly rated here.

This song should probably define "10".

One of my very LEAST favorite Beatles or George songs. Its just incessant. The rythm is annoying. The tone is depressing. The lyrics are just odd. I'll take One After 909 over this one.

k.
Amazon has the CD "Soundtrack" available. DVD is out of stock. You should also check out the "Concert for George" on DVD. Great guests playing in tribute to the late star.... |

The way I understand it, the first cut he did, sounded very Beatleesque. They told him they wanted Clapton, not the Beatles. So he proceded to do his thing and this is the result. Great tune. |
