... even I am not sure how far my tongue is in my cheek.
From what I have read and been told, the life of your average mi-60s London pop star was one of semi-permanent refugee like camps outside their front doors (and remember the apple scruffs who took up residence outside the Apple offices) near riots at any instant they were in public and all this at the time of maximum expansion of drug use.
Let's put it this way... after the split they didn't go back.
I think they were older and worn out. Look at Lennon's life afterwards, becoming a house husband (after the drunk years) and Macca's retreat into... well enter term of choice here depending on taste.
The fall-out of the 60s (Clapton, Winwood, Moon, Townsend, Richards, and that's just a bunch of obvious first division Londoners) was a mess of major proportion."you don't mind getting high, boy, but good god coming down".
