The fall of the Beatles
Some people think that egos were what did it; some people think that Yoko Ono did it; some think that Linda did it. Everyone has their own theory as to what made the Beatles break up. "I just think the reason (they broke up) is that they had been to Mars and back, and they had just had enough. I think they all still loved their music, and they all still loved each other, but it's a metamorphosis that they went through"(Douglas Herbert, CNN writer). I think that it was a combination of all aspects of their relationships that broke up the Beatles, but mostly John and Paul The relationship between Paul and John . . .
I just think, like Douglas Herbert, that the Beatles had been through it all and they had nowhere to go but down. John states in the letter that he thought McCartney let his fame get to his head and that he should have started using his fame for something good: "Of course we changed the world but try and follow it through. I feel bad for Ringo and George because it seems to me that the fall of The Beatles had little to do with their behaviors, despite things involving Apple records. is one of the things that attributed to the demise of The Beatles. Amazingly, The Beatles stayed together and were involved in playing their part on the other members’ songs, even if they hated the song on which they were working. From all that we talked about in class, Lennon hardly liked anything that McCartney wrote in the later part of the Beatles’ career. Get off your gold disc and fly" (John Lennon quoted in The Herald Sun, Oct. There is a letter that went up for auction this year at about $240,000 from Lennon to Linda and Paul McCartney in 1970. Their songwriting was a catalyst for break up as well. This letter contains angry mood swings, expletives, and even kind words from John to Paul. Every other McCartney song that we spoke about had a quote from Lennon bashing it. Lennon and McCartney were no longer collaborating on songs and there were feelings of bitterness between them. Lennon also speaks of the MBEs that they received and other issues that came with their fame.
