In 1963, at the start of Beatlemania, The Beatles had no idea how much longer they’d last. They expected the worst and hoped for the best.
In the book George Harrison on George Harrison, John Lennon said, “‘How long are you going to last?’ Well, you can’t say, you know. You can be big-headed and say, ‘Yeah, we’re going to last ten years.’ But as soon as you’ve said that you think, ‘We’re lucky if we last three months,’ you know.”
Paul agreed. He didn’t think they could go on making songs like “From Me To You” in their forties. George also agreed. Although, he didn’t think The Beatles would last past about 1965.
