  1. Even though they had outgrown the adulation couldn't they have at least smiled or waved as they walked towards the studio? Only Paul seemed to have acknowledged the fans to some degree at that point.

    1. Aside from Paul, Beatlemania had burnt them out by then.

    2. Touring and screaming mobs ended in 1966. This was 1969. Less Paul not being burnt out but more him not forgetting where they came from.

    3. Touring ended but the screaming mobs were in full effect in 1969.

    4. When Paul and Linda got married in March 1969 there were no screaming mobs. If John, George and Ringo were so burnt out they could have called it a day three years earlier. Sick of them being portrayed as victims.

  2. They used to be surprised at fans turning up at EMI even though it wasnt commonly known when the session started. Just cannot imagine what a ZOO it wouldve been if social media etc existed then.
