The Beatles music died then, as musicians. That's why we never improved as musicians; we killed ourselves then to make it. And that was the end of it.

Yes, and how many deaths will it take till he knows that too many people have died?

There's only one person in the United States we ever wanted to meet ... not that he wanted us. And we met him last night. We can't tell you how we felt. We just idolised him so much. ...

Well, we all know about "Yesterday. I have had so much accolade for "Yesterday. That is Paul's song, of course, and Paul's baby. Well done. Beautiful - and I never wished I had written it.

Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.

I no longer believe in myth, and Beatles is another myth. The dream is over.
