The point is, his vision has changed over time, and he has changed or re-done his films to accomadate this. Big deal. It happens. And if Paul and Ringo wanted to change their works, I say more power to them. They wrote it, so they have the absolute right to change their work to the way that makes them happy. After all, it's not their responsibility to make everyone happy. They merely make the films they want, and people can take it or leave it. I think that is the best an artist can ever hope to do.

Hate to be nitpicky, but Ringo didn't really write many of those songs. And although most of them weren't really collaborations, every song written by Paul or John was attributed to both of them, and, as we all know, John's dead.
