guys, i've found something incredible
forbidden beatle porn
important
John Dunbar: (...) The Beatles always tried to protect and defend [Brian]. Back then, Brian's homosexuality was a terrible thing and kept hidden, probably because the Beatles couldn't have him as their manager [if it were known]. Paul once said to me, "There are always rumors about me and Kenny Everett, or that Cliff Richard and I were gay." I said, "The only rumor I remember is that you were dead." SG: I'd forgotten that he was dead. JD: Yeah, but he remembered instantly. I called him up at his farm in Scotland and I said, "Paul, I hear you're dead." He said, "Not true."

Christ, that Press Office is a regular nuthouse. I mean it never stops. I walked in this morning and Derek had just finished a session with Paul and he looked like he had been stepped on. I said, "What's the matter?" and he says, "What's the matter? Oh nothing! Nothing at all except that McCartney is so charming! He calls me a cunt, ya know, "Ya coont!" He told me I always was more clever with words than he was and then he tells me I should take a vacation and then he pokes me in the ribs and starts pulling those cute chipmunk faces that he's got and then you can't help but like him."

Drawing John
“The other day I was looking up something. And I found out when I was interviewing Paul, I was asking him the famous meeting with John at Woolton Parish Church when the Quarrymen are playing. . . . And I was saying to Paul, ‘can you remember what was John wearing when you first met him?’ And he said, ‘give us your book’ and he drew a beautiful cartoon/drawing, cause Paul’s a very good artist. He did a lovely drawing of John Lennon the day he met him, with his slicked back hair and his Teddy Boy style. And that’s still in that notebook.”

PAUL: If I'm going to see a face in a painting it's highly likely to be [John’s].
INT: Do you think of him during the day or did this come, is this an unusual thing?
PAUL: I think of John a lot. Yeah. Because we were such good friends for so long. I also used to do little caricatures of his, him. It was quite easy to draw, this long aquiline nose and the sort of glasses and he used to have big sideburns, as you call them. Sideboards is what we call 'em. Um, so I used to draw him quite a bit. When we were just sitting around I'd do caricatures.

“John is a central figure in my life. I will always be grateful for having so much intimate time with him. The more distant his stuff becomes, the greater he seems. I used to do caricatures of John. He was the only person I knew with an aquiline nose. When I painted him recently, I found myself saying: “How did his lips go? I can’t remember” Then I would think: “Of course you know, you wrote all those songs facing each other”
