Following the White Album(and
the magnificent Hey Jude) they made Let It Be and with the final regal
glory of Abbey Road they left their grieving fans a legacy that will
never be matched.
In the inevitable breaking down of old liaisons,
there was room for growth. John met and married Yoko; Paul met and
married Linda. George matured far beyond his years, settled into his
spiritual space and expressed himself writing classic songs; Ringo was
now writing his own numbers and was widely acknowledged as a supreme
drummer and a very good actor. To everything there is a season.That the rift between The Beatles, evolved with much public angst was a pity but this is not a perfect world is it?
Relationships anyway, were repaired long ago.
And in the end, the equation between the love they took and the love they made was intact into infinity. They still represent the twentieth century’s greatest romance.
