This following fact blew my mind: Paul said recently (I forget whether this was on a talk show or in a written article) that he and John had NEVER had a dry session. Can you fathom that? He said, of the hundreds of times they sat down together they always came away with a song. Good Lord, that's not fair.
Was legacy they have left. They're music is so timeless. Even much of the early stuff sounds like it could have been recorded yesterday.
