Paul is a pot head who married a gimpy former prostitute who was a nut case. Still a better choice than Yoko.

George was the nicest Beatle and the best individual songwriter in the band. Ringo was the second nicest.

Sorry, but no, that is wrong. George was the best muscician in the band. He had help writing the songs he did publish and got sued for plagerizing "Here Comes The Sun."

While My Guitar Gently Weeps was probably his best song.

I agree that George wrote the better songs. When I listen to Revolver I like the George tracks. John and Paul’s stuff is lousy.

I always thought Paul’s music after the Beatles broke up was pathetic and it really sucked. Bad songs like Hands across the Water, and Silly Love Songs were the worst. For a real barf fest try Black or White with Michael Jackson—pure drek.

I wonder if he and Stevie Wonder and our fomer cokehead (current President) Obama broke out the white rails of devil's dandruff.

It's been known to happen before:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Toot_and_a_Snore_in_'74

A Toot and a Snore in '74 is a bootleg album of the only known recording session in which John Lennon and Paul McCartney played together after the break-up of The Beatles. Mentioned by Lennon in a 1975 interview,[1] details were brought to light in May Pang's 1983 book, Loving John, and it gained wider prominence when McCartney made reference to the session in a 1997 interview. Discussing with Australian writer Sean Sennett in his Soho office, McCartney claimed the "session was hazy... for a number of reasons"...

The room froze when McCartney walked in, and remained perfectly silent until Lennon said, ‘Valiant Paul McCartney, I presume?’ McCartney responded: ‘Sir Jasper Lennon, I presume?’ (Valiant Paul and Sir Jasper were characters played by the two, in a televised Christmas play early in the Beatles's career.) McCartney extended a hand, Lennon shook it, and the mood was pleasant but subdued, cordial but not especially warm, at least initially...

What followed was not very productive. Lennon sounds to be on cocaine—he can be heard offering Wonder a snort on the first track, and on the fifth, asks someone to give him a snort. This is also the origin of the album name, where John Lennon clearly asks: "You wanna snort, Steve? A toot? It's goin' round". In addition, Lennon seems to be having trouble with his microphone and headphones.

If George was the best songwriter how come he went dry with a passion after they broke up and basically ended his solo career after several years. My suspicion is that John and Paul did a lot of ‘polishing’ on his songs.
