I find Lennon’s comments to Sheff a little disingenuous. He says Yesterday doesn’t resolve, but I’m Losing You doesn’t resolve either. Lennon’s song has nearly the same concept as the former and was written and recorded mere months before the interview.

No names are mentioned. It could be about any two people.
That was Robert’s point.

Addition, still boring, repetitive, and utterly and completely biased and slanted.
I’ll give you one thing, Johan: you’re consistent in your embarrassing ridiculousness.

You are exactly right, and I’m constantly shocked at that there are so many so called Beatles fans that just love to smack on his genius.
Of course it’s the simplicity that makes it genius. It’s what he does better than anyone on the planet.
Simplicity and imagery are what make Paul genius. It’s picking up rice, it’s sitting on a sofa with a sister or two, It’s dipping in the pocket of her raincoat.
And gorgeous, simple melody and lyrics is what makes Yesterday so beautiful.

Actually Paul did write his own ballad about Linda – “Two of us”

Can someone change that record? It’s skipping and repeating the same thing over and over and over. Besides , it was utterly boring to begin with…….

What about the UK single release in 1976? It was the highest new entry to the UK singles charts on 14 March 1976 and eventually reached no.8.

Who are “many people”? I’ve never heard ANYONE say that before you.
You never site sources, never have attributable quotes. Just your own little, heavily biased, thoughts (I can’t rightly call them opinions).

Did The Beatles ever perform this song unison? I think I’ve heard this rare version one time when in 2003 and it was breathtaking.

Yes, the John v. Paul and Paul v. John fan fight gets very silly at times. I doubt John and Paul truly felt that deeply angry with each other even when they were at the height of their “family” feud.

1. It was George Martin’s idea to speed up John’s “Please Please Me” and add harmony vocals. Without those, the song would never have had that success.
2. The song was inspired by Roy Orbison’s “Only the Lonely”

So, what is your point other than you just love John and despise Paul?

McCartney fan suggests that Lennon and Harrison fan “should be locked up and the key thrown away” for daring to express opinion about Yesterday that doesn’t agree with his opinion. Permanent exile for the unworthy. Extreme reaction, don’t you think?

Paul has said many times the song came to him in a dream and when he awoke with it he thought it was an old standard. This directly contradicts your second claim, does it not?

There’s also John’s diss in “How Do You Sleep?”
“The only thing you done was ‘Yesterday’
And since you’re gone you’re just ‘Another Day’

Wow. As a fan of both songs I never noticed that!

Biased Lennon and Harrison fan and his other offsider should be locked up and the key thrown away. The song is a gem.
