I stopped reading after the very first paragraph.

Good. That saved me the time of even opening the link.

Thanks for that peregrine.

Bobber / tkitna... that's a shame because if you read the full article it is very well written and draws some genuinely interesting conclusions. Illuminating comments from people who were there (Cynthia, Paul, Pete Shotton, Astrid, Yoko, Pete Best etc...) some of which you may have read before, but they combine to shed a good deal of insight as to what made John tick.

Please read it!

It started with Yoko filling the void after Stu's death and Paul being jealous and all that. But I'll give it another try after skipping that first bit.
