exploratory phase

“I only ever asked two people to work with me as a partner. One was Paul McCartney and the other Yoko Ono” -John Lennon “The Beatles are over. It has been exploded, partly by what we have done, and partly by other people. We are individuals - all different. John married Yoko, I married Linda.” -Paul McCartney “I think that it’s like [John] was married to Paul, and now he was married to me” -Yoko Ono “John’s in love with Yoko, and he’s no longer in love with the other three of us.” -Paul McCartney “I don’t think Linda is a substitute for John Lennon, any more than Yoko is a substitute for Paul McCartney.” -George Martin
