I always knew John wanted to breakup the Beatles, only Paul was the one who did it....... and my guess was that John didn't liked that as he was the leader

McCartney offers this scintillating insight
“McCartney waves away such high-flown talk, but he isn’t above suggesting that the Beatles worked from a broader range of musical languages than their peers—not least the Rolling Stones. “I’m not sure I should say it, but they’re a blues cover band, that’s sort of what the Stones are,” he told me. “I think our net was cast a bit wider than theirs.”
They started as a blues cover band but became way more than that.And as for the Beatles half their innovations came from George Martin.Lennon and McCartney were great vocalists , the best in rock.And the band had a great sound.But Mac and Lennon are a bit of a fraud as songwriters.There are so many of their songs that are rip offs of other artists.Starting with I Should Have Known Betterripping off Hey Baby and other sources.Lennon and Macwas not some musical writing geniusQuote

Ah Paul, why do you need to say all those things? What are you trying to prove? You're an all time great, why lower yourself with pity talks? The Rolling Stones "were nearly a Blues cover band" actually means that they had no pretensions. They did what they loved and still do it after almost 6 decades.
The Beatles gradually changed into an experimental band with some (very) great results but also with some rubbish (Lullaby songs ...) and lost contact with the real world. "Charles" told me a lot about you and cousin Johnny. Those were the days. Treasure them, Paul!
Lots of crappy songs in the Stones catalog, too.Quote

Paul periodically trolls the Stones, he can't handle their greatness, and
the Stones were/are a performing band. He has a lot of reasons to be jealous and feel threatened.

Paul can't handle their greatness? He's a grown man, I'm pretty sure Paul is doing just fine.
Paul is jealous and feels threatened? Threatened by what? What is he jealous of? Again, he's a grown man. I'm pretty sure he's doing just fine.
What does he have to be jealous about? He's Paul f*cking McCartney. He was in THE BEATLES. Is he jealous because the Stones are still around and his band is not? That's silly. Paul is still playing stadiums just like they are. It's not like he's been relegated to playing in a bar band like some kind of over the hill has-been.Quote

Thank you, that was my point. The Beatles have a lot of crappy songs. Paul seems jealous, his childish comments are not the words of a grown man.

Point two (sorry guys): the Beatles are really history and (I had noticed it often before. This Syrian is by far not an exception) totally unknown to very many young people.
