      The thing is he was making the World a Happier Peace loving place with the Beatles than as a Humourless protesting solo artist ,with sombre music , then he finally came back with happier music, , and with the humour , it was too late ,
      One man can’t change this war involved world , but the Beatles were changing minds , until the Suit money men got involved
      He tolerated Yokos .screeching , it was a sort of Vs up , for people not liking her , he became anti fans , who adored him
      Same as George , they just didn’t see , Beatles together were better for public change , solo music suffered , because they couldn’t mirror it , no other Beatle to say , that’s not good , you need to better it here and there , all the solo albums would of been better with the Beatles , without the Spectors and couldn’t care less session men

    What makes me so sad about John's death is that he seemed to rediscover both his muse and his sense of humor after having pretty must lost them for a decade. This sounds distinctly "Beatles-ish" in a way so little of his solo work did.

      Paul is gone too, there is a chance he died but he might have just quit as well, either way he's been gone/out of sight since September 11th 1966, and the guy we're seeing now is an imposter/the replacement William Campbell a.k.a. Billy Shears. Huge deception.

    He & Cynthia were so young when they married, most ppl would have been divorced in the same situation. Maybe he handled it badly, something he admitted to later in life. He really loved Yoko, how can anyone hold that against them. I think most ppl would have wanted to experience that kind of love in their lives.

      @@kalani1987 I don't know. This stuff was all pre-Double Fantasy (Free as a Bird, Real Love, Now & Then). Which suggests that the cassette (with the handwriting on it) was equally old. I suspect that John toyed with the idea of enlisting Paul in the late 70s, when he was at low ebb creatively, but it didn't happen. Maybe Yoko quashed it. He found his feet later and didn't 'need' Paul at that point.
