Isn't that really offensive towards George and Ringo?.
John basically is saying that him and Paul were The Beatles.
He's saying they were the songwriters and creative nexus which, for
the most part, they were and if they suck (are boring), which he says
they would, it hardly matters if George and Ringo show up.
In other interview news, I came across this mention of John/Yoko by
Camille Paglia for salon. Not a Yoko Fan is Camille. Here current
article found here:

Speaking of flawed gay role models, here's a blast from the past.
Roving round the Web, I stumbled by chance on this article of mine
from 10 long years ago in Salon: "Is Anne Heche another vampirish Yoko
Ono?" Tempests of pique blew up from chi-chi gay circles in California
for my daring to question the way Anne Heche had gotten her claws into
Ellen DeGeneres. But I was right as rain, wasn't I? Ellen seems much
better matched these days with Portia de Rossi, who commendably hasn't
tried to upstage her.
Excerpt from the old article she references above:
http://www.salon.com/may97/columnists/paglia970513.html
The women's joint "Oprah" appearance gave me the willies because it
reminded me of the way that that boring Big Issue Priestess, Yoko Ono,
got her claws into John Lennon and sucked all the surrealist comedy
out of him. As Heche carried on, Ellen's face registered a mix of
emotions, from the luminously buoyant to the poignantly sad: At times,
one saw flashes of the depressive substratum often ascribed to
comedians' personalities. I loathed the way Heche treated Ellen and
their relationship as a vehicle for Moral Abstractions and Salvation
through Self-Discovery.
