McCartney Times

The unsavoury fallout between The Beatles following their split played out in the public eye. In the immediate aftermath, the only contact John Lennon and Paul McCartney had outside of a courtroom was the malicious musical material aimed directly at one another.

In Lennon’s defence, it was his former creative partner who lit the initial match, a decision that sparked the sorry affair. The problems began with Ram – Paul McCartney’s second studio album – when he included a couple of thinly veiled digs at Lennon during the track ‘Too Many People’. McCartney sings, “Too many people preaching practices” and, later in the song, he adds: “You took your lucky break and broke it in two”.

While the references were clear for all to see, Lennon also believed that McCartney took shots at him elsewhere in the album, with songs such as ‘Dear Boy’, ‘3 Legs’, and ‘The Back Seat Of My Car’ all being cited. Additionally, the record’s back cover featured an image of two beetles having sexual intercourse, which also raised eyebrows.
