He spread his wings when he met her, something he hadn't done before.
Sorry, but I have to disagree again. Lennon didn't meet Ono until 1966 in the Indica gallery in London. By that time the Beatles had already released Revolver and Rubber Soul, and Lennon's music was influenced by everything from Bob Dylan to Indian music to LSD.

yes but it was still some what conventional music, to some degree. rubber soul and revovler aren't that experimental, in hindsight (if you take into account what came after- magical mystery tour, sgt pepper, white album, abbey road) compare the albums from that era ('66 or so) with his yoko colaborations- namely the piece of work that was "two virgins." he goes from artistic to off-the-wall. imagine, if you will, the song revolution 9 going on for two hours.
btw, the "9" in my username is a salute to john and the guys.

*shrug* The techniques and influences that went into full bloom in Sgt. Pepper were already there in Revolver and Rubber Soul- tape loops, running sounds backwards, distortion, etc. Paul was into electronic music and the modern art scene for a while before John discovered it, and it showed in the band's music. You could say the electronic influence came from there, just as Indian music came from George, pot and a certain lyrical style came from Bob Dylan, and LSD came from a random dentist. I'm not saying Yoko didn't affect John artistically- it's just a huge exaggeration to assert that he never "spread his wings" until he met her.

oh i agree completely that the "spread his wing" thing is off-the mark. i was only saying he wasn't crazy-experimental until later. and yes, the seedlings of what was to come could be heard most deffintly in revolver, and bit in rubber soul. rubber soul is also the first time you really see each of those influences coming through- george's indian/bob dylan influence on norweigen wood, trippy/lsd inspired nowhere man... just ones that stick out for me right now. there's a very interesting site i think you might like called beatles-discography.com
it's quite insightful.
all the best
