“but we felt we had seen a higher thing”
Is that the royal we, or was he with somebody?
Harrison once said the he and Lennon would not trip with Paul. They didn’t like him much in the later years of the Beatles and beyond.
Probably that was jealousy as drugs pretty much zapped John of his creativity. Paul was doing the lion’s share during the Beatles’ final years. Paul probably just dabbled more than anything.
McCartney was tight with money per his band mates
