BTW, what are John's "Beautiful Boy," "Dear Yoko," and "Starting Over"
if not cute songs?

While with Fred Seaman in Bermuda, Lennon hit upon the idea of doing an
album about "living on borrowed time."  Yoko insisted on being involved,
and told him to write odes to her and their supposedly shared lives
instead.  He duly scrapped his idea, and came up with the DF songs.

And he knew they were mostly bad.  On the demo tape of them he made for
Jack Douglas, he would comment after most of the songs, "It's not very
good.  Maybe I should give it to Ringo, instead."
