Not Pynchon just paranoia

[Heikki R]

Q: "John said the best Beatle music happened before the group ever cut a
record."

GEORGE: "Mmm, well yes. I think some of the best stuff we did was when we
stopped touring and spent alot of time in the studio. You know, we lived in
a studio, really. Alot of things which were innovations as far as recording
went-- I think THAT was some of the best music. But as far as playing live,
I agree with what John says about the old days. We were really rocking. We
had fun, you know. We really had fun."
