First of all, hope your wife gets better - and soon.
Dorothy Rhone or Rhome was the girl.
I always thought Get Back was the last true compilation between John & Paul. Both had pieces of different songs that they put together to create Get Back.
A helter skelter is a slide but one that is a spiral rather than straight.
And you are right, that was one cold shot at Paul. I always thought this line was the coldest "The only thing you did was yesterday"
I'm tapped out on Beatles stuff. Probably knew more way back when.
Damn, I miss those guys....
OK, one more. Explain the "bag".

Thanks for the thoughts for my wife. She's a walking little miracle today.
I'm always anxious to learn more about The Beatles, so I'm curious to read your thoughts about the collaboration on "Get Back." Can you tell which parts belong to whom?
The bag refers to several things. John and Yoko appeared in a large bag or gunny sack in Vienna while on their circus honeymoon, and many believed they made love in public while in the bag. Frequently, Yoko would appear during concerts with the Plastic Ono Band in the bag, either standing at the microphone and shrieking or laying at John's feet (and shrieking). It was part of Yoko's avant garde direction known as bagism, where the outline of the bag and the possibilities of what was inside were more important than what was actually there. Bagism was referenced in the lyrics of "Give Peace a Chance." John and Yoko also published a series of drawings and sketches (many of them highly erotic) entitled "Bag One."
As much as I despise Yoko, I still have to admit that she was quite a powerful force in avant garde circles long before she and John ever met.
