"HE was working with two brilliant songwriters and he learnt a lot from us. I wouldn't have minded being George, the invisible man, and learning what he learned."
Lennon was always my least favorite of the lot. Harrison of course was my favorite. I'd put Derek W. Dick (Fish - ex-Marillion) up against Lennon in a battle for best songwriter any day.
Lennon was a drugged out socialist/Marxist who wrote some good songs... come to think of it, Fish is a drugged out socialist who writes good songs. What is it about drugged out socialists that they write good songs?
Manic-depression. They're (a) very creative, and (b) very suicidal, i.e. they want to kill themselves (drugs) and everyone around them (socialism).

What about Lynyrd Skynyrd? I think he was better than Fish.

It's funny that Lennon called McCartney an egomaniac. Lennon sounds quite full of his own self.
I am so happy that I wasn't alive in the 60's.
