| Big-Mouth Paul SupportiveArgument1 #108015 McCartney was the member who broke most of the gossip that would have stayed within the band otherwise. Paul announced the break-up to the media, just like he broke the news of their LSD use after Sgt. Pepper's (surprising, I know). | |

Citerank: (5) 107989"Enduring" Lennon's murderLennon's murder took place in 1980, more than eleven years after the band had broken up. The individual members mourned his death, but in no way was this something the band had to endure.22FF97FF, 108002Stopped Touring"After a year or so of relentless touring and chaos, the Beatles decided to stop touring. In the wake of JFK’s death, safety was also a concern. Their last official live concert was at Candlestick Park in San Francisco, on August 29, 1966."13EF597B, 108004Manager's DeathThe band members had conflict throughout their career, but when Brian Epstein, their manager and peacekeeper, died, the band fell apart.1198CE71, 108011Members walkout during recording sessionsThe band's conflict is demonstrated by members walking out during recording sessions. John wasn't the only one who cause trouble by doing this--Ringo and George also grew frustrated at Paul's managing technique, or fights with other members, and ended up walking out.1198CE71, 108013A second movieIn early 1969 Paul wants to do another movie, but no one else does. They settle on a documentary that ends up recording the beginnings of the Beatles break-up.1198CE71
URL: | | Excerpt / Summary The same month, Paul publicly admits that he has experimented with LSD. Though he was the last to try it, he is the first to admit it. When a reporter asked him about his LSD use, he decided he was sick of lying. He tried to place the blame on the media by saying that it was their choice to broadcast it. If they felt his admonition would promote LSD use, then he told them they shouldn’t use it.
In the end, it was Paul that announced the break-up, just as he had announced their LSD use. |
