The Beatles' Nonconfrontational Approach to Yoko Ono's Presence
Paul McCartney revealed that the Beatles allowed Yoko Ono to join their recording sessions for "The White Album" in 1968 out of deference to John Lennon and their nonconfrontational nature. McCartney admitted that while they didn't particularly like it, they accepted it as an interference in the workplace due to Lennon's intense relationship with Ono. He also acknowledged that this period marked a change in dynamics within the group, ultimately leading to their breakup. McCartney attributed his genial attitude to his father's influence and emphasized the importance of being polite and gentlemanly.
