the amazing thing about the beatles, for me, is how short a time they were together. With Ringo, I think it was maybe 7 years in which they cranked out that killer catalog of tunes. That last year, before during and after the "get back" sessions, they weren't even getting along.
I don't watch a lot of tele so I didn't see the tribute but I'll take a guess that the black dude in the funny hat playing "while my guitar gentle weeps" was gary clark jr. he's good, real good, and the guitar he plays is the epiphone casino, the guitar that the beatles, in particular, john, put on the map.
