The new documentary on Harry Nilsson is also very interesting as it relates to this time. He was best friends with Ringo, Ringo was his best man. They partied A LOT and did a lot of coke. As did John and him. Cocaine is a horrible crash and withdrawal which would explain Ringo’s 50 yard empty stare. Plus he was feeling down that he wasn’t able to contribute to the song writing. So that’s some of what was going on. I think the guy who mentioned John being on heroin and/or weed is also likely as he is passive and looks a little sucked out. And yeah the more I look into it it does seam Paul was replaced.

The real question is; did they really write all those early songs or were they helped by intelligence. Nevertheless, very interesting and I did love their songs growing up in the 90s and had the Bestles One album as well as the White album when I was in like 5th grade.
