We were pretty good mates until the Beatles started to split up and Yoko came into it. It was more like old army buddies splitting up on account of wedding bells.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I never really got on that well with Yoko anyway. Strangely enough, I only started to get to know her after John's death.
I don't know about friends, but what time I spent with The Beatles they were very courteous to me.
I grew up in Greenwich Village. Dad was friends with John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
Being in The Beatles was a short, incredible period of my life. I had 22 years leading up to it, and it was all over eight years later.
We were very influenced by The Beatles, no question.
It was great fun to hang around the Beatles. They had amazingly fast minds, and they were incredibly amusing and funny and witty. They were great. There was a very high energy surrounding them.
The Beatles created something that never trailed off. What a gift that was to their fans. If you're into the Beatles, you loved them from beginning to end.
I had girlfriends who really irritated me by their devotion to the Beatles. I didn't begrudge them their interest, and there were songs like 'Hey Jude' that I could appreciate. But they didn't seem to be essential to the kind of nourishment that I craved.
I grew up a massive Beatles fan.
You know how the Beatles broke off - they all did their solo projects and they came back together and they were even stronger!
