A great little web article about Paul McCartney and John Lennon.
"I think John's whole life was a cry for help." - Paul McCartney
And maybe that's why Lennon was so compelling, fascinating, exciting. And of course, Paul an amazingly creative, charismatic, musical genius. What a great song-writing team.
When I think Beatles music, I think: joy, exuberance, inventiveness, creativity, energy, melody. And all those things are there in the tracks. But what gives it all power is that very real pain, loss, doubt, and an insatiable unhappiness, unsettledness. Maybe it's that combo that makes the music so over-powering.
And what of their joint prophetic dream? They both had the same dream!? The mystical path on practical feet!
