Interesting, thanks Gusman 👍
On a personal note, since a young age I have always liked the Beatles being exposed to them when I was about 7 . Lennon never appealed to me despite his great music. A while back I heard a very detailed podcast series on the Beatles and since then my admiration to Paul McCartney has also dropped.

@BridgeOvertroubledWaters Why, for both Paul and John?

@Ghostinthemachine John did what he wanted without caring about anyone else besides himself and Yoko.
Paul was a control freak.
That doesn't belittle their musical talents and genius or the Beatles' enormous influence on modern music
