What George Harrison Was Venting About on 'Sue Me, Sue You Blues'
When The Beatles officially parted ways, George Harrison couldn’t have been happier. After years of seeing his songs dismissed and/or cut from Fab Four records, he could fill his own LPs with all the tunes he had stockpiled. And George promptly filled the three albums of All Things Must Pass (1970) with those songs.
Yet being on his own didn’t mean Harrison could simply relax and play music. That became apparent when he began dealing with a copyright infringement suit over his debut single, “My Sweet Lord.” That litigation kicked off while “My Sweet Lord” was still on the U.S. charts.
Later that same year, Harrison’s attempt at producing a benefit album brought about more legal headaches. At that point, you could see how the songwriter-performer could write a track titled “Sue Me, Sue You Blues” for Living in the Material World (1973). But the even larger lawsuit involving The Beatles had more to do with it.
