[John] was very much putting himself in the position where he was cut off from anyone that could pose a threat to the dynamic between him and Yoko, and I think nobody greater than Paul.
Robert Rodriguez, Something About the Beatles Episode 44 (referring to John's isolation from 75-80) (He means 'nobody was a greater threat to the dynamic between Yoko and John than Paul was' -- it's clear in context but not as clear transcribed)
#basically it's like...#beatle authors: paul was essentially both the first wife and the incredibly tempting other woman in john's 2nd marriage#beatle authors: only by putting an ocean in between them could yoko (and uncle sam) keep them apart#also beatle authors: no homo#(tho i will say rodriguez does not do the 'no homo' bit -- he lets his cohost do it for him)
