John Lennon is famous for saying what he feels--no filters--so when asked over the years what he thought about various Beatles songs, he's told whomever asked his opinion, whether it's a song written by Paul McCartney, John, or the others...on "Lovely Rita": Lennon: "That's Paul's...I'm not interested in writing about people like that." On Maxwell's Silver Hammer": I hate it." On "Mean Mr. Mustard": Lennon: "Bit of crap I wrote in India." On "Hello, Goodbye": Lennon: "That's another McCartney--smells a mile away." Also, the song "Sun King," which came to Lennon in a dream, he gives the thumbs down: "That's a piece of garbage I had around."
