Re: Saddest Passage Among Lennon's Last Interviews

Fred Seaman says that, while he was driving John around, Paul's "Coming
Up" came on the radio and John was wildly excited by it ("F*ck a pig! It's Paul!").
In the mid-70s, John deemed Band on the Run "good Paul music."
McCartney had stayed active in music through the 70s; Lennon gave up
after returning to Yoko and the Dakota.  I suspect it was at Yoko's
behest that he shelved his at-least half-written "Between the Lines"
project.  In any event, Lennon had, as he said to John Green, "lost me
muse."  When McCartney showed up with a guitar, Lennon simply didn't
feel up to the task of collaborating.  He preferred to smoke dope and
watch television.
