Here's a link to an excellent three-part article on the songwriting partnership between John Lennon and Paul McCartney: http://www.slate.com/id/2267342/entry/2267343/.
Just thought I'd throw it on here because I found it so damned interesting. I do realize that so much has been written about these two that many might just roll their eyes at such a thing: "Oh, another one about how John was edgy and Paul was all glitter, great." But, in fact, it goes well beyond such simple equations--even refuting them to a large degree. Read it and see. For me, it was just fun to read an intelligent, nuanced analysis of the ins and outs of the creative process. The writer, Joshua Shenk, really gets it.
Enjoy.
