Maybe love is the wrong word, but it fills in a lot of gaps and will be something I can come back and visit from time to time. Jan, I'm with you: I've not been a big fan of Paul's "classical" stuff. But everyone has the desire to grow artistically. Speaking of which, I wish Clint Eastwood wood stick to acting and directing and leave composing music to those who have devoted their lives to it.

The rest of the Beatles annoyed the hell out of them; I guess the musical 'errors' made them wince. Paul's operas are reportedly a bit of a dog's breakfast though, and largely written by others...I'm afraid I've never sought them out to check jan When I was a small child we used to visit an elderly oboist and his harpist sisters (Leon, Sidonie and Eugenie Goossens), and they all loved Paul.

I thought Tomorrow Never Knows (which still gives me goosebumps and near out-of-body flashes) was likely pure John. That Paul/Stockhausen connection is a great surprise to me.
