McCartney Times

When looking through the iconography of The Beatles and their subsequent split it is easy to get wrapped up in the bitter jibes the members of the band through at each other following their public disbandment. John Lennon’s song ‘How Do You Sleep?’, Paul McCartney’s ‘Too Many People’ or even George Harrison’s ‘Run of the Mill’— all of the songs provide a caustic reflection on the time the Fab Four had spent together. However, if you look back a little further you can almost pinpoint the moment the band began to unravel to one song in particular.
