@dostoyb - I agree with you one hundred percent. To make it even more clear? Mater was the nickname of John's aunt who
gave him 100 pounds for his 21st birthday. John used the money to take himself and Paul on a trip to
Paris, a trip they remembered lovingly for years afterward. I know people are sooo hung up on sexual orientation, but from everything I've read, there was love between John and Paul waay beyond the "we're good mates" level. There were documented jealous hissy fits on both their parts aimed at the other's female partners and wives. You tell me! The two may well not have acted on their feelings given the times. But deep emotional intimacy seems clearly to have been there. Jet seems to be all about the painful severing of that bond, its meaning hiding in plain sight.
