George Harrison's Rolling Stone Interview:
What was your relationship with John during that period when he was living in New York?
I didn't often go to New York, but when i was in New York, I'd goo see him, and he was nice. He was always enthusiastic. That period where he was cooking bread and stuff. I always got an overpowering feeling from him. Almost a feeling that he wanted to say much more than he could, or than he did. You could see it in his eyes. But it was difficult.
In what way?
Well, you'd read all these stories - and they'd keep coming all the time - about how the beatles didn't mean a thing. That he was the only one who had a clue about everything - and the wife. There was a definite strained relationship right from the White Album. There was alot of alienation between us and him. It was particularly strained because having been in a band from being kids, then suddenly we're all grown up and we've got these other wives. That didn't exactly help. All the wives at that time really drove wedges between us. And then, after the years, when i saw John in New York, it was like he was crying out to tell me certain things or to renew things, relationships, but he wasn't able to, because of the situation he was in.
When i read that.. my first thought was: my god.. what did Bloko have over John?
