Paul McCartney-on John missing the Beatles

"Laurel and Hardy, that's John and Yoko. And we stand a better chance under that guise because all the serious people like Martin Luther King and Kennedy and Gandhi got shot." -- John Lennon

@bashfulbrother 2 words that have never been applied to Ono are "nice" & "warm." Your statements are incorrect, but I'm sure you'll stick to them. If they outgrew the band, why did John, George, and Ringo speak of staying together right after the split in 1970? What killed them was when Paul sued them at the end of '70. He had to in order to extricate himself as they were all tied together in business. It was only after that point that John started saying they were destined to split.

I know why John said those things about The Beatles. He got drunk alot. Thats why. Paul's right, he doesnt mean it.

Respond to this video... He sued the others so he could release his solo album. He did not want Klein to handle the group's business affairs but he was outvoted. He had to sue them to get out of the contract that stated they were a partnership and Klein was getting the money from his songs.

@paxsedan The reason he wanted to put his name first before John's name is that he said John agreed to it. But it sounded better as Lennon-McCartney. But I don't know if George hated him. They still did Anthology together so it couldn't be he really hated Paul like you say. I can't find any quotes on that hate thing or information on it. I know he bought more stocks than Lennon in the music publishing company that owned their songs, Northern Songs.

They were already having problems before Yoko came around. I don't think John and Yoko's relationship was the sole reason for the breakup but I think it was the final straw for them like you said.

Really, I think Lennon was the one that drove the band apart. He started focusing on Yoko and ignored his other bandmates.

I have seen just about ALL the interviews with Mccartney and for some reason he is being 100% candid and honest. he is not playing the 'role" of Paul which he now does in nterviews ..he no longer speaks Absolute truth..he speaks what he thinks the people would like to hear. But this is rare in his honesty.

Yoko ruined the chemistry the 4 of them had. She was the acid that mixed with their water. The result was disaster.

The greatest band of all times and the world Sir Paul!

Oh my gosh, I just sent a letter to Paul McCartney, about him missing The Beatles... I guess I don't need a letter back.
