Maybe just tired of white women? I know tons of white dudes married to Asians.

It's possible. Isn't this project supposed to produce four films? I know that was the original plan.
This should be really good. Count me in.
Hopefully, they don't spend too much time with the India crap.

Apparently he was, because when John and Yoko separated for a while, he was doing May Pang:
The whole thing, which lasted about a year and a half, was actually put together by Yoko Ono herself (I guess she was a female cuck).

And more than that, during that timeframe apparently it was the happiest and most content John was in a really long time. People said he was sort of back to being himself and saw more of his friends and family than he ever did with Yoko. I believe even one of his sons said he was much better during that time (I assume it had to be Julian who said that).
The story is that John and Yoko loved each other so much that they just wanted to be around each other ALL the time. Which seems nice on the surface, but the deeper you get into that the more disturbing it is when you realize that they never left each other's sides, even when it was causing friction with other things (businesses, the band, personal life, etc.).
Revisionist history has been kinder to Yoko, and Paul and Ringo have eased up on their stances a bit I believe. But IMO she was definitely a huge catalyst in the band breaking up. But I also think John was looking for a way out anyway, and she was the catalyst he needed to achieve that so he rolled with it. Peter Jackson's Get Back doc at least showed that there wasn't just constant hate thrown at her during that time. But it was definitely odd that she was literally always sitting next to John like a little puppy or something.
Just weird for someone to have that much control over someone so famous. And she basically turned him into a househusband for like five years.

Didn't George want out even more than John? He was very sick of being 3rd fiddle

Well he quit the band during those same sessions.
But yeah he was way too into the India shite and I've seen him say the Beatles felt too much like a job and he would rather be jamming with people like Dylan, Clapton, etc.
George and John had already done some solo stuff, and Paul's debut (I think) album was coming out around the same time as Let It Be. Honestly Ringo was likely the only one who wanted to stay together in the end.

She probably could suck a bowling ball through a garden hose. Other than that, she's not the least bit attractive and sings?? like a cat trapped in a rocker factory.

Concept: Four separate films, one for each Beatle, released together as a "cinematic event".
Interesting concept. I wonder if each film will have some common scenes/sequences but show you the same event from the various people's perspective.

He was a deeply injured and damaged child in a man's body. I credit him for having had the courage to chase down some of those demons.

I didn’t simply put it on her. I said she was a large catalyst for it. Which is true based on what the other three have said. All three were pretty jarred when John started bringing her into the studio and into their space that they had never shared with anybody else (especially significant others-wise).
But like I said, they were also growing apart by the end as well, and most were doing their own projects and side/solo stuff. And Paul and Ringo now have cooled on the Yoko stuff and chalked it up to John and her being in love and wanting to spend time together.

I think the Yoko blame is way over blown. They were all ready for something new. Dropping George Martin was part of that. George Martin was really the underappreciated one. He wrote, arranged, orchestrated many parts of their great songs.

I tend to look at the cause and effect the other way: if they hadn't been already careening toward a terminal condition, John would never have invited Yoko to the studio in the first place. The Beatles had been his 24/7 life for a decade. No way he would have let some broad interfere with their goals and doings. But once he was past that, that was it for the band. (Not to mention the fact that John explicitly said when Epstein died that they were finished - and that was a full year before even the Ringo incident).
