Number (N)ine: 'Yesterday' Slogan T-Shirt Autumn/Winter 2002

[johns-prince]

John's insecurity and fear of Paul abandoning and no longer loving him really reared it's ugly head when Paul wrote Yesterday and people started talking about whether this meant Paul would go solo. It's true that part of why John and Paul's partnership worked out is because they could be competitive with each other—but it encouraged and inspired rather than threatened and smothered. It was relatively healthy.

John hated the song, and I don't believe it was simply because he was envious. I mean, John was envious of Paul in certain aspects, merely because John had pretty poor self esteem and view of himself to begin with.

I just don't think John's reasoning for hating Yesterday is based on competitive envy as much as it was based on what the song stood for and what it's popularity meant—Paul could do just well without him, Paul didn't need him, everyone could see it even. With the success of Yesterday, there was talk about Paul leaving the band, which in turn meant leaving John.

The song crippled him with this kind of insecurity so much that he even got into rows with Paul over it. There's photographs of it taking place in the dressing room. John was always a complete jerk when it came to this song being performed.

Years, years later, I can understand why John also disliked the song as so many people would attribute the song to the Beatles, as in thinking John himself had a part in creating it like so many of the songs authored by Lennon-McCartney—when it was solely Paul's song.

But this song brought up one of John's biggest gripes, insecurities, and fears, And it was documented for us to read about and even see: Paul would realize he didn't need the band, didn't need their partnership, that he didn't need John.

I was feeling insecure. You might not love me anymore.

Leaving Mclennon and theories aside. I can understand why John was so angry with Yesterday. If I was in a band and my colleague showed the most beautiful song in the world and said he dreamed of it, I would break a guitar over his head.

If I had a nickel for every instance of media with a timeline divergence where the music of the Beatles didn’t exist anymore I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice
