George Was Over-Shadowed

[cloudninegirl]

Here is what bugs me. I love the Beatles and all but I don't like the fact that George was over shadowed by John and Paul. Even during their solo years it seemed like poor George was forgotten. I can't understand why they didn't let George play more songs when he was with the Beatles so fans would love and appreciate him more.

John and Paul were the loudest.

Ringo didn't even seem to exist.

Actually from what I can see Ringo got more attention than George did. I heard that Ringo was the most popular Beatle but I could be wrong with that.

[-none-]

HE WAS?? That might've been a biiiig sarastic joke.

I always hear Ringo get teased for being the "Forgotten Beatle"

Also in an interview, I think.. the press were surprised that he could even talk!

I don't see much forums dedicated to mainly Ringo. He was just the 'drummer'


Probably the gals who like that kinda guy, makes him their favourite.


I could be wrong, too.

I agree that George was a bit overshadowed by the rest. Ringo wasn't the most popular Beatle, but wasn't the least. If Ringo had no drumming talent whatsoever, he'd be a "nobody"

[cloudninegirl]

Yeah if George wouldn't have been a guitarist he probably would have stayed an electrician probably, but I could be wrong one too.

I always feel sorry for Ringo, because of the way everyone thinks he wasn’t important to the Beatles and he always comes last in polls etc.

Yes, I heard that too. I read that he got the most fan mail for a while in the early 60s and that’s why he was always given a song to sing on each album to keep the fans happy.

Who do you think is the most popular Beatle now? I think there seems to be more websites and forums for Paul than any of the others.

No matter how many times I have asked people who their favorite beatle is they always said John so I think John is the most popular today I think.

[beatlefreak]

Probably. Anyway, Im doing a report on John. Everyone mad because I know everything about him. Half the reason that I chose him was for everybody to admit that I know more about him and the Beatles then anyone else. The other half was because it's going to be so awesome doing a report on someone I like best. Oh yeah, we have to act out our character (in my case, John). We have to act like we're telling the life of our character in the character's point of view. I also need to dress like John. I know that my friend has one of those 1964 John hats, so I'll borrow that. Anyone have any suggestions on how to dress like John?

[nowheregirl]

That sounds interesting. I don't know what you could wear to look like John, but it's good that you'll have the hat.

I could probably write my own biography of George if I could because I know so much about him hee hee. ;D

[beatlefreak]

I bet you could. And nowheregirl, you could write a report on John easily!

[nowheregirl]

Thanks! Yes, I probably could, since I've spent so much time reading about him, listening to him, looking at pictures of him...

I just found some really interesting books on John Lennon in the teen section at the library. I'm reading a lot again. ;D I love reading. I just finished ANOTHER book today! It was a novel in letters. Like, mail letters. Its really great. American Idol is on in 3 minutes. BOO SANJAYA! I would feel sorry for him, but I don't because he styles his hair like...like.... there isnt even a word for it. Wait, what happened to that book club we were going to start?

[cloudninegirl]

Oh I love to read alot too. Anywhere from fiction novels like action, drama, romance, science fiction and non fiction. I'm a bookworm. ;D Makes me glad I work at a library. ;D I love messing around with books.

My library has three books about George they need to have more. ;D
