Quote related to 'You’re My Best Friend' from 'A Night At The Opera'

You're My Best Friend is still one of the most played tracks on American radio. John was always a dark horse: he's the guy who doesn't say very much, up to a certain point - he would go nuts sometimes and say a lot - but, generally, he was the quiet guy, and he would come in and we would say, “have you got anything John?” He'd go, “Oh, I've got this, I don't know, you know, don't know if it's any good, but we could try this.” You know, very self-effacing. It was written on a Fender Rhodes [sic]. John played it – John played his song's keyboards - and John, as far as I know, wrote the song about his lovely lady wife. Further than that, you would have to ask John, and I don't think he's probably in the mood to answer at this point.
