“In 1969 or thereabouts George took a "sabbatical" and was having fun hanging with The Band and Delaney & Bonnie being a backing musician. He referred to returning to the Beatles as "going back to the winter of discontent". There is no one definitive answer for why they broke up but I like Paul's reasoning in the "Anthology" where he says it was like old army buddies growing up and apart..that old gang just breaking up and moving on and it's true. John had a new distraction...Yoko who wasn't content to sit at the back with the other Beatle wives...in her mind (right or wrong) her place was at John's side 24/7; George was becoming more prolific as a songwriter and wasn't content with just 2 cuts per LP plus his interest in Eastern philosophies was having a profound impact on his personal life; Ringo just went with the flow. The stuff with Apple and management and whether to play live again etc. were other issues that just gave them reasons to go their own way.”

“Its so sad that The Beatles broke up. John is like a son to me. Paul is like an uncle to me. George is like a grandfather to me. Ringo is like a father to me.”
