Since Norton has mentioned this scenario in a couple threads, I thought the scenario was worth discussing on its own. Now this isn't as easy to pull off as having him stay away in 1969, but let's say Harrison does it despite Epstein's protestations. Before 1967 rolls around, George Harrison is no longer Beatle-George. How does Harrison's departure alter the Pepper period and beyond? Do the Beatles still meet the Maharishi? Does the truncated trio last longer than they did, or does the added pressure cause an earlier split. How would Harrison be viewed by the other members in the band-I presume that he'd still get along with Starkey, but other than that I'm not sure. Oh, and what does Harrison do out of the group exactly? Can the Beatles even make it to 1969 if one member goes solo then, or would Harrison leaving simply give Lennon ideas?
