Summary

Rock-and-roll writer Doggett chronicles the dramatic story of the personal and business competition that has dominated the Beatles' lives since 1969. Mojo and Q writer Peter Doggett tackles one of the most difficult subject in The Beatles mythology in You Never Give Me Your Money: The Beatles After the Breakup. Doggett focuses on the hurricane of success that led to the band's break up and kept these four friends who went through the excitement/hell of Beatlemania together apart--the business of The Beatles, their own egos and all the baggage they carried into and out of their relationships as former partners. The Beatles was truly always bigger than all of them separately and for them to carry on in the shadow of a monster was difficult--they were always individually measured against the success of The Beatles something much bigger than John, Paul, George and Ringo individually.
