The Apple Corps Mistake: In late October 1968, while in Los Angeles, California to produce Jackie Lomax's debut, George Harrison gave a remarkably blunt archival interview for Canada's CBC program The Way It Is. Looking at the reality of Apple Corps, George directly addresses the idealistic announcement John Lennon and Paul McCartney made in New York about helping artists avoid big businesses. Harrison labels that pitch a mistake, explaining that they ended up trapped by a swarm of people knocking on their doors from dawn till dusk begging for massive sums like £50,000 or £100,000. George points out that truly talented people usually have to be searched for, while those aggressively begging on their doorstep usually have no talent at all, warning that if the band didn't practice moderation, Apple would completely run out of funds.
