Something about Kraków

 Has an amazing weather during this time of the year. Has heavy but very tasty food (especially Pierogi). Has inhabitants who don't really speak English. Is incredibly beautiful, from Kazimierz to the Market Square, to the Salt Mine, to Father Laetus Bernatek Footbridge. Is full of horses. Is low-cost. Like litterally everything is cheap. Has almost more Spanish people than Spain. Is alive and young. Has a Dragon.

Is not going to keep J for long anymore. /G

Tbh I hate the way the conversation has turned into it purely being about his songs being cut because that's not really the point. It was the fact that they created a space where he didn't feel comfortable showing them his songs even when they were incredibly good. Like people should maybe ask themselves why George had such low self esteem. And the reason he went for For You Blue over say, Let It Down, is bc John whined about the chords being difficult. They just didn't give his songs respect.

you’re not wrong bestie. the complaining on john’s part and the hot or cold- overbearing or uninterest- from paul didn’t make a great environment for george to explore his creativity. i’m honestly really proud of ringo for bringing in his own songs bc damn. j&p could unintentionally blow a song off in a harsh way.

i really don’t think j&p understood how hindering they were to george’s song writing until it was too late. it seemed like they were making much more of an effort to take geo seriously in Get Back but it was clear george had been held back too long and just wanted to put out his own stuff so badly. he knew if the planned live performance was like what they experienced before that his acoustic or softer songs would be blasted over by the crowd. so it probably felt like a waste of a song to him to put it on Let It Be. that probably contributed to why he really wasn’t keen on the whole thing. and like you said, he did For You Blue because it made john happy. which is extremely sweet of him but it goes to show he was willing to bend a lot more than the others to keep the peace and was still getting stretched beyond his limits.

he had gone from working with Bob Dylan and the band, feeling like he was being taken seriously as a song writer and guitar player, only to go back to The Beatles where he was third best to j&p again. and you can hear in the way he talks abt his guitar playing that he didn’t think he was good enough for j&p. he mentions that they need Eric Clapton and goes on about how much better of a guitar player he is than george and he’s so convinced of it that when john (i think) says they need george not Eric, george doesn’t take him seriously.

so yeah, trying to take the blame off j&p by saying george was just insecure ignores the root of that insecurity completely. which i think, and other have pointed out, comes from a place of j&p not wanting to grow out of their established relationship dynamics. it sucks that they couldn’t see george for what he was and how much he’d grown.

i relate a lot to george in this “you’ll always be the same person to me” struggle and it fucking hurts. it makes you feel like these people don’t care to learn abt you anymore and just want you to stay in your most docile and agreeable state. it’s not fun to experience from people you would have thought better of and i’m sure george did think them better at first. but maybe i’m just projecting now 😅

not to mention, the whole week before he left the band, his wife, Pattie, had walked out on him and he was stressed about trying to get her back but had no real time to do that being in recording sessions every day. boy was feeling rejected in a million different ways.
