Replace solid with more iconic. If Paul had written lines like imagine there's no heaven, give peace a chance and woman is the ****** of the world everyone would probably be idolizing a different Beatle. It really has nothing to do with who got murdered, it attributed to John's icon status sure but it didn't create it. If Paul had been shot he wouldn't be placed on the same pedestal as John because he just didn't have the same career post-beatles.
