I couldn’t find a specific thread about Handmade films in George’s section, perhaps it is somewhere else? in case you haven’t seen it, this is a nice piece about the films and George’s involvement. Some great, some not so great; haven’t aged well in parts. There’s short cut up interviews with George throughout. If you like Handmade films, you might find it interesting, enjoyed the band at the end following the speech at the dinner, but cut off too quick, George is enjoying himself.
@Penny Lane , the thread is in the Beatles films, television and radio sub-forum.

You can cross post the video there if you want to. It fits nicely in both places.

Offline Thank you Ahhh Girl. I will repost it over there, but this one could be deleted if it’s too much duplication?

Great interview! I like this part:Harrison: I don’t think people are saying that, but if they are, it doesn’t trouble me. I haven’t had the same consistent sales as, say, Paul, for instance, but Paul is into pop, into the star trip he was always fond of. I’m not. Some singers try to please the public, others themselves, and a few can do both at the same time. Primarily, I need to please msyelf, and although music is still important to me, life is more so, and I don’t feel any kind of pressure to churn out anything resembling a hit record every x-number of years.
This is the difference between trying to please others and not yourself. Between writing songs to create hits and the attention and ego and only writing when you have something to say whether it sells or not. Being true to yourself!
That sounds like he’s ripping on Paul some, which is understandable. But Paul has done his share of experimental music. Also, I tend to think that Paul tries to please himself with his music, it just so happens that it’s commercial. He certainly wasn’t trying to please the band with Ob La Di Ob La Da or Maxwell’s Silver Hammer .

By “star trip”, I assume he means that Paul loves the give-and-take of live performance in front of audiences more than George

I took it to mean the whole experience of being a top artist, recognized for selling records, writing popular songs, and yes, performing for audiences.
I don’t see a problem with writing popular songs. Seems to me that if you wrote a song, the highest compliment you could receive is if other people enjoyed it.

Vox populi — hence Pop Music (the abbreviation “pop” is short for “popular” which literally comes straight from the Latin for “People”.
