Right back atcha Sonia!
My comment wasn't really directed at the back-n-forth between you and ze lark elf, but the one with earlyprog. Anyways, seems like that is over and done with (let's hope eh).
I've had a wonderful Easter up until now thanks with far too much to eat and drink, but it's been in the company of family and other loved ones. I ate a Jesus chocolate today, which is a first for me. He tasted delicious.
I trust you've been enjoying your's as well down in Mozambique?

His life, his call, the Beatles anyway had reached their peak and he was the 'visionary artist' in that ensemble! The rest is history

The dessert was brilliant. Coffee flavoured mousse with chocolate shavings.
No sign of any Jesus shaped candy though, which I personally considered quite the let down considering my most recent dessert experience.

McCartney II is supposed to be Paul at his most experimental - at least that is the hype I heard.
Hearing this I actually spent a whole $8 on a pristine copy. ("II" is not that easy to find hereabouts.)
Big disappointment. Far from exptal. (But then again, I understand the 2cd set(??) has more.)
Speaking of exptal diddling, ever hear moog pioneer, Bernie Kraus' take on Harrison?
You always hear what a****les Lennon & McCartney were in real life, but not George.
You should read what Kraus had to say about him.

...and you can (link below). Though you may not want or like to do so. I know I didn't. http://astronautapinguim.blogspot.co.nz/2012/12/five-questions-to-bernie-krause.html I'll just stick to the granny metal instead.

You live with straights who tell you, you was king Jump when your momma tell you anything The only thing you done was Yesterday And since you're gone you're Just Another Day How can you sleep at night? That John - Paul rift sure got ugly, eh? Paul's Beatles output was excellent.....some of the most interesting, precious and melodic music in rock history. The Beatles were a collective - four minds working as one with John and Paul as the lead writers. Neither Paul nor John could ever muster the magic that they had as partners.....yin-yang, sweet-sour, peanut butter-jelly - as a team they seemed to fill in the spaces between them to make a single functioning unit, especially from 1960-67. Neither ever recovered from the split.....both may have had some fine singles or even full albums, but they never had that continuity again - something was always missing. Paul fared well sales-wise and John wrote a few anthems, but nothing ever soared to Beatles heights. So, to answer the OP - John had his share of blame in the matter, but I think a unit that was that tight needed to come unwound sooner or later. The Yoko business just led to more friction, which ultimately led to the dissolution of the band. There were other factors, of course - Paul taking the fore a bit more with John's mind elsewhere; Ringo had quit the band during the White Album recording 'cause he felt he wasn't getting his due; George quit for a time but also came back for the Abbey Road recordings......

Everyone involved could've handled it better-- Yoko, for one, should've realized it would be a bad move and not gotten involved; The band could have been a bit more patient with her & John; And Mr. Lennon was (or should've been) insightful enough to see it coming and avoided the whole fiasco whether the band had broken up then or later.
On the other hand it was 1969, everyone was pretty messed up.

Familiarity breeds contempt.....and when a "single functioning unit" stays so tight for so long, then a split is bound to come. Take the Everly Brothers for example.....they wouldn't even speak to each other off stage - separate dressing rooms, separate transport.....the only time they even looked at each other was on stage. That after so many years as a "single functioning unit". Even brothers come unglued when under the spotlight for so long......and the Beatles, for all intent, were brothers. I don't know how much of a factor drugs and alcohol played, but it seems none of the Beatles were ever Keith Richards-level junkies - they may have partook.....and it may have played a part, but I think they died from a thousand paper cuts rather than an A-bomb.
