The more I read about Lennon, the more I dislike him. I also would suggest Harrison’s influence on “Tomorrow Never Knows” on the Revolver album made that song brilliant. Might be the best song on the album.
Initially, Harrison was Paul's junior partner, much as McCartney had been Lennon's junior partner in the Quarrymen. For Lennon, in 1970, dissing George was like dissing Paul, and like elevating his diminished self.
Despite Sinatra's words, Harrison was never the songwriter Lennon or McCartney were.
I find my opinions of the fab four have grown and matured over time as I hope I have. I used to often say Lennon was who I valued above all. After 7 decades I find myself still actually listening to Harrison albums. Once in a while listening to Lennons hits but rarely listening to Paul though I respect Paul’s accomplishments. My bro in law said his show a few years ago was amazing but McCartney and his pop sensibilities has lost me. I have seen Ringo several times on his tours with collaborating musicians and they were fun to experience. After reading this piece I am reconsidering what I think of John post Beatles.

I'll put All Things Must Pass up against any solo album of Lennon or McCartney's.
Lennon was finished. Double Fantasy with his swan song.
Cry baby b****.
Lennon was a fucking cry baby.

john was born october 9, 1940, george was born february 25, 1943. that's more than the "nearly two years" difference between them in age.

Excellent article.
Wasn’t that the interview that inspired this? Supposedly all the lyrics are actual Lennon quotes.

Chapman was a patsy.
