It is a truth universally acknowledged that the breakup of the Beatles was a fraught hot mess. It was also a slo-mo train wreck, and in alternate timelines, it is possible that the end could have been delayed, if not completely avoided. However, the release of Instant Karma, and its chart success, was probably the point of no return. I discuss the song, as well as the paradox that is John Lennon, offer my Yoko Ono hot take, and shout out the work of a couple other podcasts. An eventful ten minutes.
