And he still, on his own, wrote so many great records.

But I do think he worried when they split up, like, oh wow, if I don't have this guy, because this guy,

Sometimes the stuff John Lennon did put out in the 70s, Mind Games, not a great album.

Yeah.

Not really up to band standards.

And I'm wondering if, I'm sure the collaboration would always been better on both ends.
