NOTE: "[This song] is again about Yoko. You know, I think Mick
Jagger took [this song] and turned it into "Miss You". The
engineer kept wanting me to speed that up - he said: 'This is
a hit song if you'd just do it fast.' He was right. 'Cause as
"Miss You" it turned into a hit. I like Mick's record better.
I have no ill feelings about it. I think it's a great Stones
track, and I really love it. But I do hear that lick in it.
Could be subconscious or conscious. It's irrelevant. Music is
everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think people
own it. (John Lennon, 1980)
