I think if the Get Back movie had been shot while they were recording Revolver, for instance, a couple of years earlier, we would have seen a very different John.

I think some of the performances on Wings Over America are pretty good, but I generally agree, and it leads my mind to this larger point, which is that part of the reason they were so incredibly innovative in the first place was that they were British and therefore had this distance from American music.

I think he was upset at Spector just more generally for having the arrogance to come in and change the Beatles’ music in any way without Paul’s permission.

I think the better version, better alternative history might have been George does All Things Must Pass, John does Imagine, and Paul does Ram, and then the next year, they do a Beatles album.

I think you could see even earlier in “I’ll Follow the Sun,” that sense of just keep on keeping on, just a sense of a troubadour with a guitar who’s just going to keep playing and will never get too attached to anybody.

” Then Paul takes it and just takes it to another level. I agree. I do think the result is really beautiful and a really underrated song from Paul’s post-Beatles career.

I think Walls and Bridges is really pretty good. With the exception of Imagine and the Plastic Ono Band, I’m not a huge fan of his subsequent albums, but I do think Walls and Bridges and Mind Games are pretty good.

” By 1965, mainly because of John, partly because of Dylan, who was incredibly boiling with hostility and anger, at times anyway, McCartney was really uncovering that side of himself as well and pouring that into songs.

Postman” and others for John. They find the emotional heart of these songs in a way that sometimes the originals, which are a bit neater and have the edges sawn off, were not able to do, and I think that is just what makes them really so powerful.

I think everything would be better as a Beatles’ song because I think that when they played together, there was just this magic thing that happened.
