I Shoulda Never Smoked That Shit Now Im In The Elevator Where John Lennon Kissed Paul Mccartney

The chokehold this photo of Paul has me in is actually insane I needed to share

[findsilver]

No one ever made Paul laugh more than John, and right here at Christmastime came an incident he would always tell with great fondness. After leaving Forthlin Road late one night without his glasses, John told Paul he saw on Mather Avenue “some mad people sitting in their front porch playing cards at one o’clock in the bloody morning.” What?! The next time Paul went past he looked for himself, and it was an illuminate nativity scene. Cue hysterics.  —  Tune In: The Beatles - All These Years, Vol. 1 by Mark Lewisohn

look obviously you shouldn't be looking at gay couples and saying "which one is the girl". except for when you're looking at john lennon and paul mccartney because paul mccartney has spent the last 50 years saying that he's the girl

'yoko told his [john's] biographer philip norman, "john said that no one ever hurt him the way paul hurt him."'

john drunkenly sang yesterday once, 'john gets the words wrong, and replaces 'she' with 'he': why he had to go, i don't know, he wouldn't say...'

'what he [paul] didn't quite see is that john wanted an acknowledgement of love, since love and trust were for him almost synonymous. of course, neither of them could say so. in 'in my life', john told paul just how much their shared history, and shared present, meant to him. the visor was down, and i doubt paul even noticed '

Interviewer: So Paul, tell us about 'We Two.'

Paul's brain: I am singing about dreaming of John, standing side-by-side with him, and promising to be in love with him until the day I die.

Paul's mouth: Well, we used a Studer four-track machine. And the thing we loved most about it was the snare drum sound. Oh, and we also stuck the tape rewinding at the end because nobody hears that, you know. There isn't much more to say about it.

Yonks ago I went to the Man on the Run screening and said I would post my review. That didn't happen for reasons ( I have the notes and may type them up) and most people have said what I wanted to say.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned though is how the documentary brought out an aspect of Paul's resentment and grief at the Beatles breaking up that hadn't connected in my mind: the severing of Paul from his family. Paul has in the years since waxed lyrical about his close-knit family and how essential they were to him. Yet in the documentary he admits that being a Beatle emotionally dislocated him from them, seemingly permanently.

It made me think of teenage Paul and how he never could have predicted the greater sacrifice he was making when he chose John over his dad. Paul chose John because he had loved John and believed in John and their dream. In following their dream and John, Paul became a stranger to his family, to Liverpool with no way homeward and at the end of all of it ... John abandoned him and said their dream was dirt to him. If this happened to me I'd have a hard time with it at well.
