...easily calculated. Lennon and McCartney both retreated, Paul seeking the shelter of quiet, closely restricted family life while John exorcised all his demons in public. Apart, they reveled in the sort of vocational excesses they had once checked in each other. Lennon collaborated with his wife, Yoko Ono, on a series of noisome avant-garde records, then switched to abrasive social protest on subjects as various as the Attica killings and the oppression of women. McCartney wrote about the undemanding pleasures of farm life and domestic bliss, going so far as to record a version of Mary Had a Little...

In 1968 a gallant Lennon pleaded guilty in London to possession of enough grass for 40 joints in order to avoid, he said, dragging Pregnant Yoko Ono through the courts. But when John and Yoko arrived to live in the U.S. in 1971, John only got a six-month visa-unrenewable, it turned out, because of his conviction. John appealed his fate.
