there’s a lot of pressure to be stupid historically accurate in the Beatles fandom because they’re so well documented. and like, I get it. however, counterpoint: it is fun to make shit up

Peter Brown on being in Paris with Paul in January 1968. Paul asked Peter if he was going back to the hotel after dinner and Peter said he was off to a gay bar. Paul took a taxi to “Find his own fun” and this is later that night/morning.

“In the wee hours of the morning. I was in bed with a handsome Parisian I’d met at the bar, when Paul returned to the hotel suite. He knocked on my bedroom door and entered without waiting for a response. He was totally nonchalant when he saw me in bed with my friend.

He came over and sat down on the edge of the bed next to us. ‘How was the rest of your evening?’ he asked. We chatted for a bit about travel plans the next day and he left. I’m sure my young Parisian friend told this story many times in his life, and no one believed him.”
