Thus, he'll always be associated with the group, just like McCartney will always be a Beatle.I recall a comedian years ago had a routine about the generation gap between him and his children - the punchline was, "You mean Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings?"
When Lennon was killed, I talked with my students about the situation and one said to me, "You mean Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings?" I kid you not. She was quite miffed that I broke out in laughter.
