So sad that Paul was the only one who really saw how shitty AK was. And I get that he was also biased because he wanted Linda’s father instead. But still, it seems like at least one other of the guys should’ve seen through AK’s bullshite.

At the time it was seen as the Eastman family dominating Paul and trying to get their claws on the Beatles. I think that if any of the other Beatles had married into a highly successful business family, those families would've advised as the Eastmans did. If Epstein had lived I'd guess that the break-up would've been a lot less corrosive.

And I think that the involvement of the Eastman's is part of why Linda took all of that criticism whenever Paul took a creative misstep throughout their marriage.
