I agree Sandra. I think that John has just become this dead sainted Beatle who can do no wrong. Paul, however, who continues to put out work and tours nonstop, is the less talented one. Puh-lease!
I think they were equally talented (if not, more so Paul). I hate it when people catagorize Paul's music as "fluff" just because he wrote mainly love songs.
They were both pretty egotistical, but what do you expect from two demi-gods. If anything, John was more egotostical than Paul. Look at his songs, they're all "me, me, me."
And I also agree about Paul trying to keep the band together. If it weren't for him they may have even broken up as early as late 1966.
