In one site, the instructor gave all of this great background information on the song, “Michelle” which he discovered on The Beatles Bible. Being an acoustic guitar player, I perused some Beatles’ guitar tutorial sites on the internet. I love Beatles songs that feature acoustic guitar. I discovered “The Beatles Bible” quite by accident. But I didn’t believe in that, that you have to be tortured to attain anything, it just so happens that you were.”įunny he didn’t mention that he didn’t actually write this himself then, don’t you think? – be tortured and then it’ll be alright, which seems to be a bit true but not in their concept of it. He explained: “I was just talking about Christianity in that – a thing like you have to be tortured to attain heaven. “According to McCartney, he contributed the lines “Was she told when she was young that pain would lead to pleasure” and “That a man must break his back to earn his day of leisure.” However, in a 1970 interview with Rolling Stone, Lennon claimed that he came up with these lines as a comment on Christianity which he was “opposed to at the time”.

And here is why i believe this is what happened in this case(from wiki): Pot smoking does that (manipulate) to your memory. I don’t believe Paul’s been intensionally lying about it either. I just don’t like it when the wrong guy gets the credit for someone else’s work, which i believe may have happened in this case. I agree the last sentence sounds a bit harsh, i have no bias against Paul.

Oh oh oh oh the beatles acoustic
