interviewer: in those days, the actors used to say their best bits were left on the cutting floor, did you find that? john: no, no, no, those were the good bits in the film, you should've seen the rest. rubbish. interviewer: was it really? john: even worse, yes. interviewer: who was worse? john: oh, paul. interviewer: i see paul: no, i think john was rather worst. john: no, it was you

found this interaction of them teasing each other quite cute.

every story you hear about george harrison is either “yeah he fucked my wife” or “he was the only being that truly understood the meaning of this mortal life”

“I still feel really comfortable playing with Paul, yes. We have all that history and it comes into play when we work together. You can’t just dismiss that. You’re never going to lose the closeness of those eight years we spent together. We played some great music and we were brothers; no matter what goes on up and down, we were very close. I don’t know of any other band who got that close. And we got that close because we loved each other and the pressure that only the Beatles had. No other band has had that much pressure. So all of those factors come into play when we meet each other. We know what went on. Nobody else knows. Everybody thinks they know, and they have ideas, and they write books about it, but actually only the Beatles know how heavy that was.

Paul and I used to work very hard. A lot of it fell into place, but the drummer and the bass player have a foundation to set, for everything else to be able to go on. And as I say, he is the most melodic bass player. He plays melodies within the melodies. He’s like the sea bed, or I’m the sea bed and he’s the bottom water, and everything goes up from there. Like bubbles.”

— Ringo Starr, Club Sandwich, 1997

They were so tight it was like there was a telepathy between them…they’d look at each other and know instinctively what the other was thinking.

“I am very saddened to hear that my ex-bandmate, Denny Laine, has died. I have many fond memories of my time with Denny: from the early days when The Beatles toured with the Moody Blues. Our two bands had a lot of respect for each other and a lot of fun together. Denny joined Wings at the outset. He was an outstanding vocalist and guitar player. His most famous performance is probably 'Go Now' an old Bessie Banks song which he would sing brilliantly. He and I wrote some songs together the most successful being 'Mull of Kintyre' which was a big hit in the Seventies. We had drifted apart but in recent years managed to reestablish our friendship and share memories of our times together. Denny was a great talent with a fine sense of humour and was always ready to help other people. He will be missed by all his fans and remembered with great fondness by his friends. I send my condolences and best wishes to his wife, Elizabeth and family. Peace and love Denny. It was a pleasure to know you. We are all going to miss you. Love, Paul”

I’m going to dinner tonight with my friend and her parents and my friend claims that her dad is a bigger Beatles fan than me - what are some obscure facts about the Beatles I can whip out to prove I am the supreme fan????

[pennielane]

update her dad asked me how john and paul met and when I whipped out the exact date he nearly fell off his chair

[pennielane]

“you’ll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you” is john, george and ringo using mccartney-esque bass lines in all their post-beatles work

[pennielane]

WHAT THE FUCK PETER JACKSON

[pauls1967moustache]

[didwemeetsomewherebefore]

This would have been the correct photo for John to be looking wistfully at. I’m deducting half a point, PJ!
