âThe Lennons were still maintaining separate living quarters and separate interests when they heard the news, late that spring, of Paul McCartneyâs arrest. Paul had been arrested for trying to smuggle marijuana into Japan while visiting there to perform in a concert tour. The illegal product had allegedly been discovered in his suitcase, and he was taken into custody immediately. His wife, Linda, and the rest of the company were allowed entrance without incident. Yoko worried that the news of Paulâs arrest might throw John back into the old depression. But when I talked to him over the phone one afternoon a few days after the incident, his voice held no depression, only righteous indignation and sympathy for Paul. âItâs lousy, Charles. Typical, but lousy. Some petty official probably needed a promotion and set Paul up to get it. Not that I have any great love for the man, you understand, but this sort of thing is just somebodyâs cheap trick. If he really wanted his smoke, you know he wouldnât have had to carry it on his person. The mere fact that he was checking in his own luggage tells you that he wasnât carrying anything. Usually all that star carries in is an overnight bag. The rest of his stuff is checked through as equipment and costumes. Paulâs smart enough to now that. Heâs known how to handle this sort of things for twenty years, just like I have. If you want to smoke, you say to your producer, âHey, whereâs the grass?â and poof, magically it appears. You donât have to buy it. Itâs all budgeted into a show as entertainment or transportation expenses. Take care of the starâs head, fill his lungs, or his nose, or his veins, or whatever. No, no way do I believe that Paul was carrying. He was set up and thatâs the long unfortunate short of it. Some little creep wanted to make a name for himself like all little creeps do, and he used Paul to do exactly that. âJust how hard do you think it is for a Customs official to lay his hands on some grass? Not that hard. He had it all along under the counter or something, and the minute the Beatle steps up, itâs presto! Headlines. âStars are victims like that, very vulnerable. The pity is that Paul wasnât expecting it. Nobody is busting stars for drugs anymore, so he didnât take precautions, you know, like having Customs waived because heâs a star or something like that. âPaulâs been busted before, you know. This is only going to make life more difficult for him. Not that I care, but itâs just the meanness of the thing that irks me. When I was busted, it was the same sort of crap. I was sounding off a little more than the government liked, and poof, thereâs a drug bust. Police, dogs, cops, the works. As if I were the only kid on my block to have a little stash. But they wanted me, see? And they got me. The bastard who busted me couldnât have been more smug. Certainly made his day. âPaulâs getting more press out of this than he has since the sixties, which just lets you know where the press is at. They love this sort of thing. The worst part for Paul is that theyâve got him in jail. Do you believe that? They know how much money theyâre costing him. A whole fuckinâ concert down the drain. Promotion wasted, transportation wasted, tickets to be returned, the whole thingâs a waste. And all for what? In the world of rock and roll you wonât lose any fans or sales because of a drug bust. At worst it makes you controversial, and thatâs a plus. So what are they holding him for? Thatâs just the work of some power-mad little creep showing off to the world, knowing that the longer he holds Paul the longer heâs important.â âFor someone you claim not to care about you seem awfully upset.â âItâs the injustice of the thing that upsets me. If Paul were just some nobody, the Customs agent would have pulled the grass out of his bag and said, âDonât be stupid, son, just throw this away over there,â and what would have been the end to it. Iâve heard stories like that. But because heâs a star he gets set up instead. Thatâs injustice and it would bother me if it were Shirley MacLaine, Baryshnikov, or the Muppets. Maybe it affects me a little more because itâs Paul and I know him and heâs a musician, but I doubt it. It would bother me no matter who they got.â [âŚ] The constant appearance of Paulâs name in the press began to unsettle John. It recalled memories that he would have preferred to let sleep. âYou donât think theyâre mistreating him, do you, Charles?â âAside from the fact that they are holding him in a jail cell, I doubt that there is any mistreatment.â âThatâs good. Not that I really care, you understand, but I wouldnât want to think that they were abusing him in any way.â âYou keep telling me how much you donât care. I begin to wonder if itâs true.â âOf course I care! Not that I want to, but you canât know a person as long and as intimately as Iâve known Paul and not care. Iâm pissed at him and have been for years, but thatâs my private war with the man. It has nothing to do with the way I feel about his having this happen to him.â [âŚ] Two days later Paul was released. The concert had been canceled and he and Linda left Japan immediately. John greeted the news with a great sigh of relief. âIâm glad thatâs over. I feel like Iâve been keeping a vigil for him. Not that I care, you understand.ââ

Shes so fucking cool dude
Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg at the premiere of 'Slogan' dir. Pierre Grimblat, August 28, 1969.
Most complaints about the storytelling decisions regarding the teens in Cobra Kai boil down to not understanding that the younger characters are all supporting their adult counterparts, acting as a foil to or echoing some theme from the original films through their relationships with their OG franchise counterparts. Do they have arcs of their own? Of course. But at the end of the day, Miguel, Robby, Sam and Tory's storylines will all be written to give maximum dramatic payoff for Johnny, Daniel and (to a lesser extent) Kreese's character arcs, because they were the original characters the entire show was built around.
This is why "who deserves to win the final tournament fight?" is so pointless. Ask yourself not whether Robby or Miguel is a "better fighter" who "deserves to win", but how their stories will best serve Johnny's, because I guarantee that's why they made the writing choices they did.
Miguel is an obvious 21st century version of Daniel (to Johnny's Miyagi), with a classic coming of age and underdog sports movie arc. Johnny's vocation in life (a fact frequently repeated by the show itself) is to teach martial arts, and Miguel is his principle protege. Miguel's "big win" being a tournament fight makes sense, as karate itself is a totem for his relationship with Johnny. Robby, meanwhile, functions far more as a parallel to Johnny himself, and his arc has been (thematically) about not becoming the worst version of the man his father became. Since the entire show is built around the idea that Johnny's toxic mentor derailed his sense of self-worth/adult life by physically attacking him after he lost a tournament, Robby losing the final fight and realizing that's okay is not mean or proof that the writers hate him, but in fact...an obvious choice for his character.
I can guarantee that Sam's final arc will be tied to her relationship with her father, and the strength and wisdom he's given her. Tory (through her relationship with Kreese) also functions as a kind of girl reboot Johnny, and one of her core functions on the show is to be proof of Kreese's spark of redeemability. I have no doubt she'll be used for that purpose before the end of the show.
