Paul McCartney REVEALS His Relationship with John Lennon AFTER the Beatles Breakup

Paul McCartney reveals his complicated and heartbreaking relationship with John Lennon after the Beatles breakup. John Lennon and Paul McCartney are considered the greatest songwriting partnership of all time. As of 2004 they sold over 600 million records worldwide making them the most successful to date. Yet the events leading up to the breakup, the legal matters to dissolve the Beatles, and the public nastiness after the breakup created a rift between the duo that seemed irreparable.

Even today I shed a tear for John :>(

Although Paul and John may have a fight, at least they patch things up at the end. Rest in peace John Lennon 🙏 🕊️

The Beatles were at a loss after their manager, Brian Epstein died in August of 1967. I believe he left a power void that Klein and John tried to fill. I am impressed that Paul rose above the comments in "How do you Sleep", and later be the first to reach out to rekindle his friendship with John. The beautiful part is that they became buddies again, talking about baking bread. Love and respect to both Paul and John.

Both of their mother's dying as teenagers, wildly famous and just in their 20s, it's hard to imagine how close they were. I read that Paul was broken with the relationship that began between John and Yoko. It's as if he watched his very best friend find another to bond and collaborate with.

As some have already noted, Ram was not Paul's first album. It preceded Imagine and John even included a photo with that record of him holding the ears of a pig in a mocking fashion to Paul's Ram album cover. John was pissed over Too Many People so he struck back with How do you Sleep. The thing is, later, in typical fashion, he said looking back on it he was really writing about himself. I say he got that take from his woman because it is the type of narcissistic comment she would come up with. It's sad that they had such a rough time of it after the breakup but at least May got the two of them talking again. I am convinced John and Paul would have done something in the 80s had John not been killed. Cynthia and John's sister Julia both have alluded to John being fed up with that other woman and her heroin addiction and sleeping around and that he was going to tell her to take a hike once and for all. Yeah, it might be a bit self-serving, but hey, a guy can dream can't he. That would have been my version of a happier ending to the story.

Huh - 'On his first solo album Ram in 1971' - how can you make such a mistake. McCartney was his self-titled first album.
John imo treated Paul woefully. As for Klein - what a cruel nasty individual.

James Paul McCartney died in car crash on September 11 1966 and was replaced by William (Billy). This is the truth no matter what.

That bit at the end... rehearsing Strawberry Fields... Lennon plays a little guitar line which is perfect for the song.... He never gets the credit for his guitar playing that he should.. the guy was pro pure and simple.

[octaviatheappalled]

I really like many of Harrison's songs. While My Guitar Gently Weeps is my favorite.

[mrblurblur]

So it was all about Joko who broke up the band..sad but it's all gone gone gone.

Couples fight. Friends fight. Just life.

Liverpool.... rough language pretty much a constant, very rough. You can see here and there in movies. Real brutal stuff omg. John and Paul were closest of friends tho, you can see that too.
They loved each other very much and people should shut the hell up okay?

[slimbuttermilk]

At the end of the day, it all went down, the way it was meant to be. But, really, can you imagine if you insisted on bringing your wife to work, every day, just to hang around. How about if everyone brought their spouse to work, just to hang around, ... all day, everyday?? How about if Maureen, Patti, and Linda came to the studio everyday and just hung around all the time? It would be weird in any scenario.

A quote from John Lennon The dream is over. Its time to wake up and move on.

[adagio]

Paul McCartney was, and still is, a musical genius. A natural musician that can accomplish anything he puts his mind to. I think that Lennon was the wordsmith and McCartney the composer in their relationship. This is evident in the lyrics that McCartney writes for Wings; the music is great but the lyrics seem something like an afterthought that are often not convincing. Lennon, on the other hand, used lyrics to great effect and they tell a narrative on contemporary life.

I always liked "How do you Sleep?"

[johnadams]

After Brian died, John said "Paul took over" That was a problem. It was John's band. I suppose John resented Paul taking over leadership of the band. I read some years ago that Yoko said It was always John's band. When Paul took over, John lost interest. I believe it was Mick Jagger that warned Paul about Klein, stay way from him. I also believe that Klein wanted 25 percent commission of the Beatles. Paul wasn't willing to give away that kind of money to Klein so he Quit.

Too Many People is from Ram - his second solo album. McCartney was his first.

[vitavomloehberg]

She sat on their amps and ate George’s biscuits, so what do you expect ?

[frankperry]

Yoko did not belong on the white album! John, though a genius was also not perfect. I'm glad they did Abbey Road, much better.
