PAUL MCCARTNEY At The Beatles’ Press Conference After It Had Been Announced That The Band Would Be

Thinking about Paul’s jealousy of Stu’s position in John’s life and his understanding that John considered Stu more of a peer than he (Paul) could be, by virtue of age alone.

Of courseeeeee this was not the full scope of Stu/John vs Paul/John. But it isn’t difficult to imagine a lonely and rejected Paul deciding that age must be THE problem, as it is not his fault and is therefore easier to digest (rather than the idea that Stu was more emotionally open/a better communicator/whatever else).

This line of thought draws an interesting parallel to Paul’s later (real or perceived) competition with George for John’s attention and his continued insistence that George was actually very very very very young (Paul has nearly 8 full months on him). It doesn’t matter that John and George are tripping together or [insert John/George thing here] ME AND JOHN ARE BIG BOYS GEORGE IS only A BABY.
