Dunno how relevant all/if any of this is to PiD, but in addition to discussing how George was bossed around by Paul, this part was interesting:
"From as early as 1965 being a Beatle had become ‘a horror story… awful… manic…crazy, a nightmare’, an experience defined by ‘madness’, ‘panic’ and ‘paranoia’.
It was a trauma Harrison spent his entire life trying to blank out."
Granted, Harrison was always a sensitive, quiet man, who didn't care much for the circus-like atmosphere of pop stardom. It's not directly relevant to PiD.
But it does clearly show that the entire Beatles "experience" had many dark, horrifying elements that aren't discussed much by either the media or the "historians" that pore over Beatles lore. There's probably a lot we still don't know, and a lot of thing are possible, regardless of whether you subscribe to PiD or not.
