I was surprised and amazed that he died proactically alone in a hospital bed
The Beatles were a gift from heaven. I wish Paul and John would have worked out their differences and collaborated on more stuff. Seperately they were good, but together the sum was much greater than 4. They each complimented each other and magnified each others brilliance.
The Beatles quit at the perfect time. The Law of Diminishing Returns was setting in big-time on them.
All that has surfaced in all of these years is a drug fuel studio jam session from 1974 while John had escaped to LA to avoid Yoko.
I seriously doubt that they would still be a couple in 2014.
Also John was the last Beatle to sign the paperwork to dissolve the band.
There are bits and places where this Beatle collaborated or appeared with that one as they grew on. John and Paul would've likely done something together at some point if he hadn't been shot.
