let music never die in me

I'm Amy and I write (occasionally). Always willing to fight about the Beatles. If you're gonna follow me you have to be okay with the fact that my opinions are extremely malleable and may not be the same day to day. Clarinetta on ao3.

john lennon: Bob from Twin Peaks face

exact same energy

mclennon is more than a "ship" or "rpf" it is essentially a series of diabolical historical accounts

[monkberries]

@lilith20godrich probably the right thing to do since it gets exponentially more self-important in the second half of the series.

this little mini-series is a deep dive into the story of the beatles getting high for the first time with dylan. she makes a lot of good points about the various inconsistencies of the story in the first couple of episodes, and she calls out the certainty with which beatles authors sometimes speak about events that are more muddled historically than they seem at first, which is nice to hear.

however. she also makes this assumption based on ??? nothing ??? that paul actually had a wild psychedelic mind-expanding LSD-like experience when he smoked dylan's weed, which led to Yesterday. and no matter how many times she says this theory is just a theory and she doesn't know anything for sure, she basically builds the whole mini-series around this assumption. and in the newest episode where she dissects the lyrics of Got To Get You Into My Life, she comes to the conclusion that the song is actually likely about (shocker!) john and not about weed.

it's a very tumblr-coded lyrical analysis in that it assumes the lyrics perfectly and accurately reflect things that happened in real life. so in the structure of the episode, she posits a theory for a specific interpretation of the song and then goes looking for events in the real world that point to her interpretation being right. the theory so far is that GTGYIML is a sort of apology/thank-god-he-didnt-leave song, written after a big fight where john almost left paul. my guess is that, in the next episode, she's going to theorize GTGYIML is referring to the argument they had about Yesterday.

and i'm not going to pretend i haven't done this kind of analysis in the past because i certainly have LMAO. but i didn't put it in a deeply comically self-serious podcast with my real name on it

[monkberries]

anyone else listening to the new beautiful possibility mini-series because. lol

[epiphainie]

what is one alleged beatles thing that comes from one source/can't really be corroborated that you simply chose to integrate into your belief system? mine is linda calling john "ducky" i believe may pang on this like god himself told me

[epiphainie]

chat, does he know he's being haunted?

[epiphainie]

guys have you seen that paul had a listening party at abbey road today and mentioned his secret with john then said "i'm not telling you" ????

[epiphainie]

we NEED to do something about him at this point

[epiphainie]

reports saying we two lyrics are 100% about john. wbk but at what cost

[epiphainie]

also home to us (collab with ringo) is getting released as a single on friday

[eggshell-seas]

oh i’m sure

[whitealbum]

person who wears pads: i prefer wearing pads person who wears tampons: how can you walk around all day wearing a wet diaper full of blood that's so gross i could never! paul mccartney: john lennon wasn’t gay because if he wanted to have sex with men he would’ve had sex with me

[whitealbum]

i hope if this keeps going around everyone knows this isn’t even rpf it’s just something paul’s said on record about a dozen times over the last 40 years

Idk if you're active on here anymore, but I just wanted to tell you how much I loved that which resembles the grave but isn't! . I feel like Paul's deep depression after the beatles breakup is barely explored in fic and... idk. Your fanfic is the only one I've read so far that even while being a fix-it treats the breakup as the complex situation it was while still making the ending feel both hopeful but realistic. it really touched me, you write the boys so well. thank you for writing it!!!

Thank you so much!! This is very sweet <3

[monkberries]

I started listening to it only because of this ask and like. Great another two hours on how Paul was the coolest motherfucker on the planet, Actually, and John was too lame to function

[carolsturka]

Best bitchy diss track one of the ex-Beatles wrote about their bandmate(s)?

"Too Many People," Paul McCartney

"How Do You Sleep?" John Lennon

"Wah-Wah," George Harrison

"Back Off Boogaloo," Ringo Starr

"3 Legs," Paul McCartney

"God," John Lennon

"Run Of The Mill," George Harrison

"Sue Me, Sue You Blues," George Harrison

"Early 1970," Ringo Starr (not fully bitchy but enough it still counts)

"Isn't It A Pity," George Harrison

"Not Guilty," George Harrison

Something not mentioned that totally counts (list in tags)

You can interpret this as either "which one is the best song overall" and "which one is the best at being a bitchy diss track"

[monkberries]

@sgt-suibi youre gonna have to come up with some examples of quotes he made up out of thin air if you want to go around accusing him of doing it

[monkberries]

Paul Mescal said in his latest Rolling Stone interview he's reading Ian Leslie's book and it's changed how he views their relationship. Idk how to feel about that! Someone direct him to OSD and AKoM. lol

I mean if he read leslies book he already knows what those podcasts are saying since leslie basically ripped them off wholesale lmao
