Well, okay. Not exactly forced. John was funny with a good sense of humor. So....let me revise my comment/observation a bit. John's funny bits sometimes came about in a manner to try and deflate Paul's work. IMO I believe John knew he didn't come to the sessions with much in the way of good songs...or new songs period. His contribution was slight. Paul did have some good songs, he was brimming with musical idea. John was a bit jealous...again IMO....and came across that way in the comments, however humorous, that he made.

Yoko once said she felt John wished he had a tad bit of Paul's personality, and Paul had a tad bit of John's. I think so too.

@njr Very enjoyable 😄 I thought Instant Karma had disbanded. Seems they haven't ✌️

That video was from 2011, the same day I took my photos!
Apparently Instant Karma still exists:

During Beatleweek and at AROTR he sings with other bands too. He crashed Norwegian Beatles’ set at the Adelphi Hotel last August and sang a couple songs!

@njr I would say, I Feel Fine, but I bet that's been suggested too.

Nope, you’re the first to mention it, but it IS listed in the article I posted! 😂

@nancy-r It looks like Smithdown Place, at the end of Penny Lane. I was there in 2008. The building standing alone is the shelter in the middle of a roundabout, where pretty nurses sell poppies from a tray. Just nearby was Bioletties where Paul had his hair cut.

I posted that exact same link last night!
I guess the new forum is hard to scroll to spot things!

I was concentrating on the video below the link and didn’t even click on the link! 😂 Sorry!

@jl4761 Yep, and a lot of people drifted away.

I know, I drifted away for a long time but it's good to be back! What happened to SurSteven and Rockerdude?

SurSteven hasn't been around for ages. Rockerdude stops by occasionally. Not sure if he's been on this new board.

Hopefully, SurSteven and Rockerdude will come back.

Yes, also Kestrel and BJ Conlee!

Wasn't BJ going on vacation?

Yes, but he should have been back a long time ago. Both Yankeefan and I have emailed him. He did answer YF but quite awhile ago.

@njr I bet even Paul and Ringo would have struggled over most of those questions.
