brothers . . . . . . . 



People often seem to have to choose between John and Paul and I guess it relates to the falling out time and split up of the Beatles as a band but how close do you actually think these guys were? This includes George and Ringo too but the songwriting partnership meant that John and Paul were inside each other's heads 24/7 these guys were CLOSE, could anticipate the other and knew their little ways, their tells and foibles so intimately they were closer than most brothers.

Paul explained how they spent much of the day chilling and hanging around and then spent the evenings working in the studio
