[a letter from Mimi in 1975]
Discussing one of the fans and Paul: “Well, I just lose patience with such reckless stupidity. There must be reason in all things and to chase round after an aging Romeo, and worse still getting into debt to do it beats me. It would not mean a thing to him even if he knew, apart from boosting his ego, which doesn’t need any help and for Heaven’s sake, why he does these tours I can’t think. Only, of course, he may miss the publicity, which he loves. I say you can’t go back trying to recapture the careless rapture of youth, etc. etc. It could never be the same as it was when they were at their peak, the four of them. It’s nearly 12 years since L'Pool first went mad on them and then America. John may at some time feel like doing the same but I hope he won’t.”
And Ringo: “I hear Ringo has announced his final departure from this country to live in America. Announced if you please. I don’t care either way. Certainly no announcement is needed. Just go and remember where you or he got his chance, with a big slice of luck thrown in. Really such arrogance. A little less bravado would be appreciated. 3 children left behind. Financially they’ll be all right, but that’s not everything. I don’t hear anything but gather his and George’s divorces are through. I’ll try and see Ringo’s mother next time I go North and get all the news. I know she’ll be upset. Announcement indeed! It annoyed me.”
George: “As far as George and all that Harri Krishner or whatever they call themselves. I couldn’t blame Patty if she had to put up with that lot. Those screeching Jennies wandering all over the hose with their silly nonsense, banging tambourines and wailing all day long. Money does go towards softening of the head, altho between me and you, I wouldn’t mind the money and keep two feet on the ground.”

“Friends said that sometimes you would walk by a dressing room, and see Joan and Bob slow dancing to a pop song on the radio. Or they would always be sitting together, with Bob’s head laying on her shoulder, and Joan stroking his hair. Also, a friend of theirs remembers one time in Woodstock, Bob and Joan were sitting together, talking about getting married, and what they would name their children (they had the name Shannon in mind). Even years after their relationship ended, that connection never truly faded and there was always a sense of lost love lingering in the air whenever they were together.”
