what are the best guitar solos from harrison or mccartney?

Harrison and Ringo both indicated over the years that they would play in a band again w/Lennon - not so much w/McCartney. Also, all those accounts on how the guys in Wings were treated are pretty atrocious.

i think the "lennon is a dick" stories mostly date from the early days, which are also the most-covered in the books. by most accounts lennon wasn't a bad dude to hang out with by the '70s.

cept when he put tampons on his head

and I speak as a guy charmed and, who knows, hoodwinked by those last 1980 interviews. The guy was so ebullient and forthright about his music and opinions that I would've loved to have had him poking fun at "Ebony and Ivory."

yeah, he's quite charming and engaging in those interviews, even though i've never known how seriously to take the hagiographic perfect-husband-and-dad stuff. i guess only yoko knows for sure.

um, I believe there are indications that that stuff was not in fact quite so simple.

I've read the stories that she was back on smack, which sound true.

I think this has as much to do with Paul's dickishness during the breakup (although history proved Paul right in terms of who they should've hired as their lawyer/manager) as with his dickishness in the studio.
