Barney Gumble is supposed to be John Lennon. This is because during the episode he is seen with a Japanese conceptual artist in his bid to take the band to new places. This artist is supposed to Yoko Ono. Yoko Ono was John Lennon's Partner

Finally Homer Simpson is supposed to be Paul McCartney. This is evident as he wrote most of the songs such as Baby on Board just like Paul.
