Are YOU a George Fan?
Love George? You might've noticed that I
do (which is why this section's here. ;))
So, do you?

more songwriting than just Lennon/McCartney went on during the Beatles' career.
02. Moreover, you make it known that his songwriting was every
bit as fantastic as Lennon/McCartney, if not even more so. After all, who can doubt the brilliance of "Something"? And when
The Beatles' became available on iTunes, wasn't it "Here Comes the Sun" that was the most downloaded track?
03. You've memorized movie dialogue such as George's press conference
replies or the famous shirt scene from "A Hard Day's Night" and can recite it spontaneously.
