| | TIME Magazine: John Lennon Archive Collection |
 | | John Lennon, the writing Beatle ("He's the arty one"), is—in his own way—describing the members of the Neville Club as they sit in hubbered lumps smoking Hernia and taking Odeon. |
 | | But what sticks in his mind today is not the joy of the pop classics he wrote with Paul McCartney, but the misery that fame brought him, as well as the suppression of ego required by working in the group. |
 | | Lennon loved language, the sounds and rhymes and elastic elusiveness of words, and, like a dandy with a lace handkerchief, he liked to keep a pun up his sleeve. |
