Abstract

It is widely held that the cornerstone of the Beatles’ success was the synergy between John Lennon and Paul McCartney; many music critics and scholars agree that their dyad was the most successful and influential that popular music had seen. Indeed, much has been written regarding the Lennon–McCartney partnership and the ostensive reasons for its break-up. By 1969, the individual conditions of Lennon and McCartney were different. McCartney, on the one hand, was flourishing from his self-education as a musician, songwriter, and producer and by this time had become the de facto group leader, while Lennon was fundamentally withdrawn and apathetic regarding his partnership with McCartney, as well as the Beatles as a band. This essay discusses how, beyond “sex, drugs, and rock and roll,” Lennon’s and McCartney’s self-training and self-directed learning styles, particularly, may have impacted the dyad and affected the longevity of the group, in general.
