Amongst the sea of fans of The Beatles<\/a> are pockets of people who revel in the salaciousness of their intra-band drama. Fans who point a metaphorical gun to your head and force you to decide between John Lennon and Paul McCartney as your favourite Beatle, as a means of dividing the fan base into two camps.<\/p>\n They are largely the same people who are quick to remind you that George Harrison and Paul McCartney didn\u2019t, in fact, like each other. Which, as we all know, is nonsense. The truth is, the band were four unofficial brothers, who for the most part of a decade, spent nearly every day with one another, sharing the intimate space of musical ideas.<\/p>\n But the keyword in there, being brothers. Because essentially, any intra-band rivalry was treated with the same flippance as that of siblings. Sure, they would lock horns, dispute ideas and come the end of their tenure, write diss tracks about one another. But to think there was anything other than a deep-running respect and loyalty between the four is complete codswallop, and that extends to the relationship between Harrison and Macca.<\/p>\n But yes, of the four, they were probably the two inhabitants of each spectrum\u2019s end. Harrison famously rolled his eyes at McCartney\u2019s playful indulgence<\/a>, writing songs that veered too far on the silly for his liking, while McCartney was perhaps the chief stifler of Harrison\u2019s songwriting contributions in the great days of The Beatles.<\/p>\n But does that mean they didn\u2019t collaborate? Of course not. The very essence of the entire band\u2019s ideas would have been hashed out collectively. But then again, where is the true evidence of a Harrison and McCartney track that proves their powerful partnership?<\/p>\n
