Leigh’s Reviews > John & Paul: A Love Story in Songs > Status Update

Yoko and Linda both lived in Scarsdale, NY during the 1950s!

Oh, well played, Ian. At the end of chapter 16 on “Eleanor Rigby,” after emphasizing the song’s use of consistent syllabic rhythms, and calling attention to the line “no one was saved,” he discusses the disputed authorship and the idea that Paul subconsciously got the name from a gravestone in a Liverpool church. “However deeply in his mind her name was buried, it had been saved.”

End of chapter 14 has a nice bit of analysis of the ways their songs seemed to express what they sought from each other

Good, but so far unfortunately there has been no reference to the “Beat the Meatles” incident
