Thanks Steve, always happy for Beatles updates. My parents brought me and my brother to Australia from England in 1971. They had the classic 60's look of 2 very cosmopolitan hippies. Avid Beatles fans too, so I listened to lots of Beatles in childhood.
I think I understand McCartney's frustrations, but we all have to deal with having to leave our history and efforts behind us on this mortal plane. We can take our developed strengths with us, but our flaws too. What I really appreciate is that we never waste a moment on spiritual effort, or so we're taught and I hope its true.
McCartney and the Beatles are idolized by millions. Thats a lot of pressure. George was reticent to release my sweet Lord because he didn't want to put himself on a spiritual pedestal. He said he would have preferred someone else to do it. But he had the moxy and I'm glad he did.
I like your perspective, yea we are learning from other souls as well. I am learning some piano styles through McCartneys talent and playing. If we seek perfection in our learning we should seek a Guru. I do not expect spiritual guidance from these guys. But I have learned much about music from their approach to playing and writing.
