hi! hi! hi!

You could say I'm kind of an artist. I'm not new to Beatles fandom or the band. I just wanted to engage more with fans here and post my Beatles art :)

Edit: Queen snuck on me again as well haha. (I really should make a better into.)

It’s brief but Paul Whitehouse and Roger pointing out that the “new” conversations and concepts about genderqueerness really aren’t new or that hard to basically grasp at all.

From the I’m ADHD, No You’re Not podcast

Okay I finally watched all of Roger and Sarina’s appearance on the I’m ADHD, No You’re Not podcast. This was a very jam-packed hour and they talked about a lot. Here’s a breakdown

Sarina was diagnosed with anxious depression as a young person, and ADHD and Autism about a year ago (a year prior to whenever this episode was recorded). She talked about her struggles, traits, highs and lows, what led her to her diagnoses and tips for managing them. She also suffers from autistic catatonia

When she was seeking her autism diagnosis, Roger had to fill out a supplemental questionnaire and she said she was astonished to find out that Roger had quietly noticed all the things she thought she was hiding/masking

There’s a clip posted on Instagram and I can’t remember if it made it into the final cut, but Roger says he has tics that come and go. He didn’t specify what they were, I think he meant physical ones

Roger, affectionately: If you’re such a genius, why’d you end up with me?

Sarina: That’s exactly *why* I ended up with you

Roger: I think men are awful, on the whole, actually. I mean, we’re a pretty horrible lot; there’s a few around at the moment…

—

Paul [about the general current global backwardsness]: —with stupid ideologies, I won’t go into them here but you know what they are

Roger: I wouldn’t mind going into them…

—

Roger was there during the Freddie/Sid Vicious confrontation and retold the story with an addition that Sid had a lock hanging around his neck and when Freddie touched it Sid freaked the hell out out of fear (LOL)

Paul asked if the other members of Queen were a neurodivergent condition, which would they be (this was kind of an odd question I must admit). He said smthn like “what about John?” and Roger made A Face but went on to talk about John’s intelligence instead. Aside from Sarina saying earlier in the video that she thinks Roger has ADHD, this question never really got answered

Roger Taylor: Anti-Religion ‘Til the End. And still never one to sugarcoat…

I’ll probably post this clip separately too but they asked Roger why he keeps stress bottled up and he said he doesn’t think he does, he’s just good at “relaxing out of it” mainly by “mindlessly” watching tv. He went on to explain that when he was a kid and his parents were fighting he would focus on the tv (or a book) and block out everything else while it was going on

Sarina said Roger didn’t really get it at first but since her diagnoses has been reading a lot about autism and ADHD and how to help and respond to people in a meltdown. Roger said he hadn’t realized how prevalent these issues are but basically, he’s actively learning

This was a great interview. They talked about so much, some serious and important, some funny, some silly. It’s definitely worth watching! (And try to watch it if you can instead of just listening to it!)
