Tao Te Ching

“he was an enigma to himself. He was very mercurial, felt differently on different days, wrote differently on different days. His body of songs comprises really upbeat, earnest, simple things like 'All You Need is Love' and deep dark painful jagged weird obsessive unknowable songs like 'Happiness is a Warm Gun.' The range of that sensibility is really quite extraordinary... he is really deeply fascinating and quite unknowable... He’s really kind of like an American stuck in a British body. He was the most American member of the band”
