NOTE: "The rock papers love to write about jet-setting rock
stars and they dig it and we dig it in a way. The fact is that,
yeah, I see Mick, I see Paul, I see Elton, they're all my
contemporaries and I've known the other Beatles, of course, for
years, and Mick for ten years, and we've been hanging around
since 'Rock Dreams'. And suddenly it's written up that we're
trying to form a club. But we always were a club. We always
knew each other." (John Lennon)
