Paul proved (after he left the Beatles), how important of a factor John Lennon was to the success of their songs.

Now he sounds like a whiner.

John Lennon chewed gum while singing. He made a lot of money off McCartney’s talent.

John could have been great, post Beatles, the way McCartney was if he didn’t spend over ten years whining about his mummy.

I know I've heard enough of silly love songs.

He had a couple of good tunes in the old days, but clearly Lennon was powerhouse writer.

He was jealous of John. what? Would he rather have been the one to be shot dead and martyred? No, ok so shut up, Paul. Grow up and thank God, or whatever you call Him, that you lived twice as long as he did and got to be a grandfather, etc etc etc.

Yes, but who can forget Linda’s the photogroupie’s backup vocals and piano virtuosity on Macca’s disks?

McCartney may have done some good, but the first time I noticed him was when I heard his “My Valentine” and it is an appalling composition. Sounds like it was written (and performed) by a man on life support.
It could have been titled, “My Peristalsis.”

What kind of country is it where John Lennon gets six bullets in the chest, and Yoko is standing right next to him and not one f’ing bullet....explain that to me. - Dennis Leary

I never got why Imagine was liked so much, I hated it.

Rolling Stones for me.

Bottom line, the sum was greater than the parts. Like them or not, The Beatles were the most influential band in modern times.

Bob Dylan was asked why didn’t he write another 'Tambourine Man' and he goes, “Because I’m not that guy any more.”

More like, because he can't.

His mid Sixties lyrics are amazing poetry.
