greg: john said i am leaving to be with yoko and paul said, is this some kind of joke-o? in a bbc interview that will be broadcast next month that we will be listening to, paul mccartney pushes back on the narrative that he was the reason that the beatles broke up more than 50 years ago. that s a long time. saying the real reason was that john was making a new life with yoko and added john walked into a room one day and said i m leaving the beatles. is that instigating the split or not? maybe that s how they wrote hello goodbye aired he says he has no hard feelings against yoko and that they were a great couple but he does hope to outlive ringo. that s a lie. let s not forget that following lenin s departure, the music took a noticeable turn.
