  • 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. So after all the dust settled, how did their relationship end before John’s untimely death in 1980?

    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.

      Paul wrote “Dear Friend” in response to “How Do You Sleep” on his “Wildlife” album. it wasn’t even nasty:
      Dear friend, what's the time?
      Is this really the borderline?
      Does it really mean so much to you?
      Are you afraid, or is it true?
      Dear friend, throw the wine
      I'm in love with a friend of mine
      Really truly, young and newly wed
      Are you a fool, or is it true?
      Are you afraid, or is it true?
      Dear friend, what's the time?
      Is this really the borderline?
      Does it really mean so much to you?

    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 John-under-the-influence-of-the-woman-whose-name-shall-not-be-uttered-here 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.

      I agree with you 1000% percent. There are tens of thousands of people who are more skilled with a guitar than John was. But not a single one of them has come up with the riffs that John came up with. If he could only play well enough to play the stuff he wrote--if that were true--John is still great with a guitar. Like Clapton might be more skilled, but
      Clapton hasn't come up with anything near what John came up with. I don't think we would ever have had any questions about John's guitar playing if he had not brought it up. Anybody would answer this question the same way: Had you rather play like Clapton or play like John and come up with stuff like John came up with?- The purpose of a guitar is not to show off with it. One last thing: John was not a lousy player. Ringo's skill with drums is more questionable than John with a guitar. I don't think Ringo's skills are a matter to question. George is not Ginger Baker and John is not Eric Clapton, but what both did is 10x what Ginger Baker and Eric Clapton did.

    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.

I don't care if she hated his guts, that was his FATHER who was murdered! She is a psychopath IMO.

    The problem was John loved loved loved Yoko and she had him convinced she was a musician. In a sense, she was. She was a terrible musician. They called it avant garde, but it was actually indigestible and even annoying and cringe. He couldn't hear that because he was crazy about her and he was bored with writing rock and pop music. Paul and the rest of the band were right: She had no place in the studio. So John had to go to follow his heart. And in the end, all the rumors were right. Yoko broke up The Beatles.

    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.

    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.

      Ram came out first. How Do You Sleep was John's answer. Ram was a more subtle (apart from the pic of a beetle screwing another one on the album cover), but John's was more direct. No beating around the bush. What you see is what you get. Gotta respect him for that, even though you don't always agree what what he says.

Nixon was still in charge and it was problems for John to make a life for him and Yoko in US. I think he regret the song. But he was only human. And so is Paul McCartney when he tells how he feel about the words. Tell me you are never bad to any one, esp. when sad and haunted. I'm so tired of all this nonses spoken on utube by people who think they know the truth.

    James Paul McCartney died on September 11, 1966. He and John Lennon were very close. Billy and Lennon didn't get along. I don't think the others did either. George said in an interview that it was a job to go to Abbey Road studio and he was tired of being FAB. MAYBE, it was because of Billy. They DID make a lot of money though, with Sgt. Pepper, Abbey Road, the White album and Let it Be. So, when they split, they were ALL extremely wealthy. Lennon said that Brian Epstein robbed them contractually ,but were devastated when HE died. Complicated? It seems the music industry is just that.

      McCartney's style didn't change much. On Revolver when John and George were drastically changing styles, McCartney kept writing his same style of songs. His playing style stayed the same too. He had a particular way of finger picking his guitar, and that hasn't changed. The fingerprint thing in Japan never happened. It's just made up. The guy that was known as Paul McCartney in 1963 is the same guy that was in the Beatles in 1969. He wrote in the same style, played all the exact same instruments in the same style, and sang in the exact same style. A person can't be replaced.

    Paul is incredibly talented, but became narcissistic. He caused George to want to leave te Beatles, as was well documented in the Get Back sessions, he drove Ringo away, and he is currently working to re-write history with so many songs John created claiming credit for works beyond his contributions. John had his faults, but it doesn't take much to see the monster Paul became in the later years of the Beatles. He missed the point John made when he sang the only thing you done was Yesterday, his F you to John highlights the narcissism that is on full display to this day. Talented, but so extremely flawed by his own demons. Had he not teamed up with Lennon, given his early work, it would never have achieved the heights that they did together. His later works, while still very good,was not to the level of the Beatles collaborations. Longevity and John's murder has given him a place where he now says all kinds of things where he is taking credit knowing John is not here to give the "rest of the story".
