>>7639461I'll chime in here.
Wings was essentially the sequel to The Beatles.
Listen to Uncle Albert, Band on the Run, Listen to What the Man Said and
>>7639474 for example.
It's seventies Beatles after they got over the guru phase.
Listen to McCartney as a "solo" performer, after wings, and I would agree It's mainly commercial shit and towards the end of Wings you can see it coming up.
But let's be clear; The Beatles aren't any more phenomenal than The Rolling Stones, King Crimson or, frankly, The Monkees. They were "right place right time" and John let it go to his head and became like modern celebrities and figured he was special.
Yoko just glomed on to his hubris and shared his delusions of grandeur. That enhanced his issues.
Yes, she was a succubus in some ways, and not much of an artist at all but John made the choice.
A band is like a marriage. John broke up The Beatles. Paul ducked and rolled form the oncoming explosion and Paul did what he could with the wreckage afterwards.
Ringo did the right thing and kept the money and used money for it's sole purpose, to live an independent life.
