I wonder if Paul is jealous it's one of John's songs that's going across the universe and so he's secretly pleased that this particular composition is being hurled out of our galaxy.
ATU is probably my favorite song off of Let It Be. Fiona Apple and Rufus Wainwright do notable covers, as well. This video below was directed by former Fiona Apple boyfriend and current Oscar nominee P.T. Anderson:
Coincidentally, Gwen and I just got the two-disc version of Julie Taymor's "Across the Universe" movie out of the library. It could be interesting, I don't know. The Beatles' images and music have saturated pop culture for nearly half a century now and are consequently quite malleable. I'm eager to see what they did. However, I tread with caution as I loathed Taymor's 1999 version Titus Andronicus. My God, is that a pretentiously unwatchable film. It's Shakespeare's most vulgar and vile play, admittedly, but there is such a thing as overdressing a pig, apparently.
