Reply to comment by dancingmeadow in TIL "Hey Jude" evolved from the song "Hey Jules" which Paul McCartney wrote for John Lennon's son, Julian, to comfort him while Lennon and his wife were getting separated, He recorded first part of the song on his way to Cynthia and Julian in his Car with a recorder installed in his car's dashboard. by Knight_TheRider

Why such a fan then to be honest? I admire the artistic work he did with the Beatles and love a lot of their music, but by all honest accounts he just seemed to be a grade A jackass and abusive asshole, being "honest" about it does not make him admirable. The admirable ones are the ones that accomplish great things without having that kind of negativity and baggage.
