I honestly don't think John Lennon could have written a disco song in the 80s collaborating with Paul, or at all. (I can't name one)

Say what you will about John being an innovator, he was slow to embrace new trends. Guys like Elton had an influence on him in the 70s, but I think like Dylan John's music might have gone back in time throughout the years had he lived, taking on a style and aesthetic from when he was a kid. Then again, he might have continued to innovate and set trends of his own.
Jerry Garcia was similar. Even during the late 50s and early sixties, Jerry was slow to embrace Rock & Roll, preferring his bluegrass and jugband styles that he was so fluent in. There's a video that aged poorly of him discrediting Hip Hop, but it was the earliest period of the genre, and like I said he was slow to embrace new styles. Disco however was an exception. The Grateful Dead live experience was always interwined with the movement and dancing of the audience, the same with disco. Mid-late 70s Dead absolutely took on Disco aesthetics and were hopping on the train right during the peak of Disco's popularity. John was alive during this time but wasn't actively writing or recorded. Milk And Honey and Double Fantasy have virtually no imprint of Disco on them however.
Its impossible to say what type of music he would have made or what trends he would have embraced/established, but we all certainly got robbed of whatever it was by MDC.

I don't necessarily agree about John's being slow to adapt, not when he was taking cues from reggae in 1971 ("How Do You Sleep") and disco in 1974 ("Whatever Gets You Through The Night")

Ringo had an interview saying Paul was a workaholic, and the Beatles wouldn't have made half the albums they did if not for Paul.
THAT is a gift to humanity.

Paul was invaluable during those later years even if it caused issues with the others. John could come up with something if needed, but he was best when he felt something strongly and captured that mood. In the spirit, as he put it. However that kind of approach can be susceptible to longer periods of inaction, and I relate to that. It’s probably why John didn’t like Beatles songs of his, they’re more done to meet a quota and he didn’t feel as strongly about the content.

Oh don't be silly, there's nothing wrong with getting titles mixed up. I have a lot of trouble speaking W O R D S so I make mistakes like that a lot, there's no shame in getting things mixed up. I have a tendency to spoonerize titles on accident, like I sometimes say "The Jallad of Boko and Yohn" unconsciously. This happens daily for me.
Now I just have a tiny question....
There's a mod naughter conner?
Does this imply there's a normal naughty corner? What must be done to be sent there? Must it be a major infraction of Beatle Bible conduct? How long must one stay in the corner? Does the length of time very on the infraction? Will I get sent for asking too many questiong? 
PLEASE DON"T SEND ME THERE.... Actually being sent to the corner as the kid never really worked because I was so entertianed by my own mind that the punishment was kinda pointless..... I'd just get lost inside my own head, I'd need someone to come over and pull me out of there to bring me back to the real world. Uh I mean DON'T SEND ME THERE I DON'T EVEN KNOW THE COLOR OF THE WALLS IN THE CORNER!!!

In guess in a way spoonerisms' are a kinda word salad. If you don't know, "Spoonerisms" are were you take the first sounds of two (or more) words and switch them around. Like Lohn Jennon or Maul PcCartney. I actually spoonerized the song "I Am The Walrus ". It felt fitting because well... It's I Am The Walrus . I put the song in the spoiler. Keep in mind I tried to write the spoonerism as they would be said. I could record myself reading it how it should be pronouced if you guys want.

I also had (still kinda have) a speech impediment so some sounds and words are hard for me to say. Names like Sean or Shane are nightmare. I have trouble with "Sh" sounds so "Shawn" always become "Sawn" (or if it's Spelled "Sean" I say "Seen" because I'm dumb). Also Von Bontee's username is also hard for me to say. I had trouble with V's, T's, and B's because they're "soft" sounds and the T is tricky because I want to make a "Th" sound. I also have a tiny lisp and I make a lot of S sound an Sh when I say them. I could propbably ramble on about my speech issuses for a while but I'm just gonna cut it short.
Two things to keep mind, 1) I was born with moderate hearing loss which is why I had a speech impedimet. (Yes I have also worn hearing aids since I was a baby) and 2) I did go to speech therapy for about 6 years as a kid and my isusses have slowly gone away even after I stopped Speech Therapy. It's always getting better.
TL:DR
Oakwood's shart hearing and lazy tounge makes words hard.

@MrHorse I think it's where mods go when they do something silly, like mixing up the names of songs or PWT.

Repicscley! Ring Kichard is a spoonerism.
I remeber when I went to the renaissance fair I saw the spoonerism guy tell the story of "Jomeo and Ruliet" then in the middle of it he started play "Tay Dripper" on his lute. His version of Romeo and Juliet might be the second best version, besides the one and only GNOMEO AND JULIET!! ONE OF THE GREATEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME!!!!

The naughty corner is for mods who goof up. For example, meanmistermustard and I have both deleted entire threads.
One deleted thread got reconstructed.

@Ahhh Girl is it possible some of those deleted threads were archived on the Wayback Machine? Try it out, insert a link! it's entirely safe, I use it all the time!
IMO, those 2000s-early 10s threads which got deleted are lost media, since @Joe 's Beatles Bible is an important part of Beatles history - 2008.
In 20 years something will be celebrated to commemorate this.

I just realized my latest Baker's Dozen is too broad -- "13 ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY (no ambivalence) in lyrics-- Beatles or solo)". This could apply to probably 90% of all Beatles lyrics! Oh well...
Now today I find, you have changed your mind
