I came to the difficult conclusion many years ago that John Lennon and I probably wouldn’t have been friends.
I’m sure we would have been cordial and respectful upon meeting and during subsequent encounters…but I’ve read enough interviews, seen enough video and read enough Beatle books to know that on most matters we just wouldn’t have lined up to be pals.
Strawberry Fields, yes. Love Me Do, yes. In My Life, yes. I could keep going…
So I made peace with what I look to him for and what I do not. It’s worked out for me.
