JOHN: I used to try to get George to rebel with me. I’d say to him, “Look, we don’t need these fuckin’ suits. Let’s chuck them out of the window.” My little rebellion was to have my tie loose with the top button of my shirt undone. Paul’d always come up to me and put it straight. PAUL: There’s a story that I used to straighten John’s tie before we went on stage. That seems to have become a symbol of what my attitude was supposed to have been. I’ve never straightened anyone’s tie in my life, except perhaps affectionately.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RINGO STARR!

(July 7, 1940 - Liverpool, UK)

“It was in my soul, I just wanted to be a drummer,” Richy said. “I didn’t want to be a guitarist; I didn’t want to play bass. I wanted to be a drummer, and that’s how it is."

"RINGO: WITH A LITTLE HELP" by Michael Seth Starr

The Beatles wearing their bodyguards' Metropolitan Security Services caps in Australia | June 1964

"I spent six weeks with them during their tour in 1964. They were naive young men who needed good bapping. John was a fucking idiot who didn't care about his safety at all, and the band was just crazy. I gave them a lecture on what's good and bad. I told them that they shouldn't run after pretty fans if they didn't want to run into trouble. I told them you couldn't live like that. But they didn't listen. They continued to let sexy birds in, and even allowed one guy who climbed them on the wall of the hotel to get into the room in Sydney. It was a nightmare for the security service. When they left Australia, they gave me two photos and wrote a letter signed by all the members of the group: 'Thank you to the man who allowed beautiful birds and the best boomerangs to fly into the suite.'"~ Devon Minchin, Metropolitan Security Services

“I remember going around their place one weekend, and entering the bedroom to find John being prepared for something which instantly made me very curious. He was dressed in a pair of underpants and a white shirt which, for some unknown reason, he wore back to front. Then he was handed a black jacket which he put on in the same way. Now he picked up a crucifix which was, no doubt, one of his own creations. As soon as he had hold of his crucifix he started talking like a preacher. With his arm outstretched he went straight to the window which looked out on Grosse Freiheit and, kneeling down on a chair, leaned out and showed the cross to the people in the street. With his voice lifted to the top of its range, he carried on his preaching to the people below. I have no idea what the people of the Grosse Freiheit thought, but this was more than just a little laugh.” -Klaus Voormann

"After hearing that one enterprising hotel employee had helped himself to the boys' bedsheets and towels, cut them up and sold them as souvenir strips to fans, John led the Beatles into his hotel room bathroom, whereupon they ritualistically urinated on a pile of used towels."

✽ Brian Epstein & George Harrison ✽  

‘Strangers find him an easy conversationalist because he is a good listener and shows a genuine interest in the outside world. He wants to know and I find this an endearing trait in a young man who is so successful and so rich that if he never learned anything new he would not suffer any loss.’ - Brian

‘We didn’t think we were going to make it at all. It was only Brian telling us we were gonna make it. Brian Epstein our manager, and George Harrison.’ - John Lennon

‘From the beginning we’ve always met the right people. Before we got wise to the business, we heard and experienced so many sharks who were raking in the loot and paying the groups nothing. […] But this is where I can give an example of our luck: we were lucky to meet Brian Epstein.’ - George

‘I always think of George as a friend.’ - Brian

“I was thinking the other day, ‘I wish I had sat and just hugged John all the time when we were together.’ (…) I’d just sit around and hug him forever. That’s the depth of my feeling for him.” - Paul McCartney, 2020

I mean you can’t see this too many times, can you?

[i-am-the-oyster]

I desperately want to see the 10 seconds before this hug. I wonder if the footage exists anymore?

This video has the hug (at 17:40) but this gif could have been made from it, it cuts straight into here from a crowd scene.

But look at the way Paul’s head is on John’s shoulder at the start

it’s tucked right in there!

Give me more videooooooooo

It came as a welcome relief that John and Paul, along with Neil Aspinall, planned a quick trip to New York on May 11, where several press events had been scheduled to announce Apple Records in the States. Friends agreed that getting John away might do him a world of good; being alone, with just Paul to steady him, might have a calming influence. Paul was grappling with his own set of anxieties. “We wanted a grand launch,” Paul said, “but I had a strange feeling and was very nervous.” Drugs, he later admitted, may have been at the root of his problem. – Bob Spitz, The Beatles: The Biography
