While My Guitar Gently Weeps Lyrics Meaning

Having been in a band and been through the same experience (albiet to an obviously lesser degree of social significance, lol) it's obvious to me, especially when reading his fuller length demo, that it's how George felt being a part of something so important, so meaningful, so huge, and so personal, and then watching it crumble to pieces around him. Watching egos clash with arguements painful to hear, watching what was once a profound embodiment of young love and joy be reduced to dust by fear and loathing and jealousy and self-importance and pettiness, frustration and anger. An inside look at the most important band ever known falling apart. Must have been hell for a man so emersed in spiritual peace. Ironic as well when you consider how the two guys writing and singing about love, demonstrating and declaring and advocating peace, couldn't stay together. I can see Ringo and Gearge drifting off to get stoned and vent their frustrations about Paul & John's bullshit. Anyway, the damn song makes me cry like a baby because I've sorta been there. In my case it happened just as we were getting signed, right on the cusp of "making it" in the 80's rock scene, so it's particularly frustrating and sad.
