The Beatles: Artist Lennon vs. Boomer McCartney
#1
Having a Beatles book, I remembered a quote by John Lennon about drugs: He said that Paul started to take them later than he (John) did - but made a big fuss out of it. Typical for a Boomer to do so. The Silents had the ideas for the counter-culture, but the Boomers were more people and shouted much louder.

The differences between Artists and "Prophets" also explain why the band fell apart later. It wasn't just "creative differences".

I heard that John insisting on Yoko always being there in the Beatles' activities toward the end had a lot to do with the break-up. I somehow doubt a difference of 3 years would create severe generational misunderstandings, even though the cusp might have been somewhere around their birthdays, depending on one's views.....
