It's funny how a cataclysmic event may mean something to one person but not to others; here's George Harrison's diary from that day. See if you can spot the one thing that might mean more to the rest of the world than to George.
Meanwhile, from my stunning, probably-better-than-anything-The Beatles-ever-did live blogging of the incredible Get Back:
Nobody at the time seems to know what he’s meant, one way or the other. Historical consensus has been that he simply got fed up with McCartney hectoring him about what to play. Watching Get Back, it’s also obvious he’s anxious about the Lennon/McCartney team never giving him a chance to record his songs, which have gotten better and better over the years. It’s probably a mix of the two. They had always treated him like the kid brother but hell, he had the lead-off track on Revolver and four songs on The White Album! Of course we know he comes back - he almost single-handedly saves Abbey Road later in the year - but this is of course great drama and history for the documentary.
