The John Lennon Song George Harrison Thought Was “A Bit Obvious”

The John Lennon Song George Harrison Thought Was “A Bit Obvious.” What happens when two Beatles experience the same extraordinary journey — but remember it in completely different ways? In 1968, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr travelled to India to study Transcendental Meditation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. For Harrison, the experience remained deeply meaningful. For Lennon, it eventually became the inspiration for one of his most memorable songs from The White Album — “Sexy Sadie.” But there was one problem. George Harrison believed Lennon’s original idea was “a bit obvious.” And his suggestion helped transform the song into something far more subtle. Yet Harrison also questioned Lennon’s version of what had actually happened in India, later making a surprisingly blunt observation about his fellow Beatle. In this video, we explore the story behind “Sexy Sadie,” Lennon’s anger toward the Maharishi, Harrison’s very different perspective, and how a disagreement between two Beatles became one of the most intriguing songs on The White Album. It’s a story about songwriting, spirituality, memory — and the fact that even The Beatles could remember the same moment very differently. #TheBeatles #JohnLennon #GeorgeHarrison #PaulMcCartney #RingoStarr #GeorgeMartin #SexySadie #WhiteAlbum #BeatlesHistory #Beatles #ClassicRock #RockHistory #JohnLennonSongs #GeorgeHarrison #BeatlesStories #AbbeyRoad #MusicHistory #BeatlesDocumentary
