But not this book.
This is all about the ins and outs of the many lawsuits the Beatles faced in their band years, and after, to an extent.
You start with the millions of dollars their manager Brian Epstein left on the table because of naivety, and the attempt to collect it.
The suits when Allen Klein took over the group.
There are the suits that broke up the Beatles.
The suits over the “My Sweet Lord”-“He’s So Fine” controversy.
The suits over the Concert for Bangla Desh.
The suits over “Come Together”-“You Can’t Catch Me.”
If there’s more here, I’ve forgotten.
I thought it would be a romp through the Beatles years and the whirlwind of activity around them. But it turns out to be as exciting as a deposition.
Maybe the genesis for the book was the song title. I wish the author had given it more thought.
