I love that all George was interested in was "scoring some reefer" from Elvis' goons. I also love that they all call John out for basically making up the fact that he "jammed" with Elvis. There are two John Lennons, the guy that actually existed and the martyr he has become. I enjoy hearing about the "real John" from these guys.

btw: I highly, highly recommend a book called "Here, There and Everywhere" by Geoff Emerick (their engineer for most of their career). It is absolutely amazing. Want to be a fly on the wall in some of the greatest sessions ever? Want to read about George flipping out because Yoko ate his sandwhich? -Don't fuck with George's sandwhich! If you are even remotely interested in the Beatles/Music read it. -Very entertaining.
