McCartney Times

Towards the end of The Beatles’ reign, John Lennon started to check out the band emotionally, and the passion he felt during the earlier days of their tenure deserted him.

When it came to creating their penultimate album, Abbey Road, in 1969, for the first time in his career, The Beatles were no longer the only vessel that Lennon had at his disposal to express him creatively. After forming The Plastic Ono Band, he became slightly disenfranchised with life in the Fab Four, and he stopped putting his foot down as authoritatively. Instead, he chose to let McCartney take the lead on the project.

Apart from ‘Come Together’, Lennon’s contribution to the record was minimal compared to other albums. He’d later disregard the second half of the creation, which contains a medley of previously unused songs the group had accumulated that he referred to as “junk”.

“I liked the A-side,” Lennon told Rolling Stone. “I never liked that sort of pop opera on the other side. I think it’s junk. It was just bits of song thrown together. And I can’t remember what some of it is. Come Together’ is all right, that’s all I remember. That was my song. It was a competent album, like Rubber Soul. It was together in that way, but Abbey Road had no life in it.”
