Is anyone else as troubled by the title of this thread as I am. It seems to be very sexist. The Beatles were not corrupted by women. They simply travelled on. Things change, creative juices lose their charge, personalities clash, bands breakup. It is just the way of it. It seems to me that John was looking for something when he found Yoko, as was Paul when he found Linda. It was the lads continuing down the path of life that ended the collaboration. To say that "women" corrupted them is a stretch, and in my mind, sexist.

Do you think Carly Simon was corrupted by James Taylor? Or was it James that was corrupted by Carly? Have I been corrupted by THE FAIR ONE?
