THE BEATLES: GET BACK (2021) // George + Ringo (ep. 3)
George and Ringo Matching Heart Necklaces Moment
Back with another “bandmates love Ringo” post. This time in video form, we have George with a few lovely words for his favourite drummer.
Ringo is cute, George is cute, they were all cute and we love them very much.
Which leads me to include the last part — in George’s own words:
“Sometimes, it drives me crazy because there was so much attention on The Beatles that it left very little space for privacy or just to breathe generally.
But at the same time, I realize there was such a lot of love. There’s a lot of love out there for us too.”

January 26th, 1969 (Apple Studios, London): As the Beatles work on the arrangement for Octopus’s Garden’, Ringo tells Paul about the basis for the song, piquing George’s memory of what he was once told about octopuses. (Note: John’s on drums. This clip from the sessions is shortly followed by Heather sharing her personal octopus anecdote with John - which I can’t make out, unfortunately - and more animal banter.)
GEORGE: Hey, it was somebody – he was telling me octopuses go and pick up all the seashells. You know about that?
RINGO: Yes, that’s why I wrote it! ‘Cause the guides told me [about them] on the boat in Sardinia. [inaudible]
GEORGE: Yeah. [to Paul] You know about that? They collect all nice-looking things and make a garden around where they are and just with all their groovy things to sleep behind.
RINGO: Yeah.
GEORGE: [laughs] It’s great.

“[George] called when he was remastering [All Things Must Pass] and asked if I remember what songs I play on. I said I had no idea. He called me back after doing some research and said, ‘You played on most of them, you bastard!’ I said, ‘Well, you didn’t remember either.’”

“They thought that I was the serious one, but really that’s like a mask to hide the madman inside of me, which is really like a Monty Python lunatic.” - George Harrison

I think I just found another moment they shared clothes. Either that or they have very very similar clothes.
