Everybody talks about the Beatles' "Let it Be"/"Get Back" sessions being absolutely miserable, but check out the smiling moptops in this picture thread. Numerous books have made a big thing, especially, of John Lennon being disengaged during the sessions due to his use of heroin at the time. But having seen lots of bootleg footage from the "Let it Be" film and listening to bootleg sessions tapes, I just don't think that's entirely true. The pictures in the thread, too, indicate John--at least some of the time--was very much into things and having fun.
