How I imagine John gatekeeping the restaurants he went with Paul in Paris

"I'm OK with gay people, too, because I'm essentially comfortable with my sexuality. I can goof around with gay people. I sort of know who I am by now.  And it's about time."—Paul McCartney interviewed by Holly Millea, 2002.

Thinking about how Apple Corps initially came to be because of how Robert Fraser got Paul McCartney interested in Rene Magritte's paintings, and how Robert once dropped by Paul's house to deliver a Magritte painting to him personally because he knew how much Paul would like it, and Paul in fact *did* like it so much that he wanted a green apple to represent his and the Beatles' new company, and so many years later the Apple Corps logo ended up inspiring another company headed by Steve Jobs and even now, even now Apple Corps itself is still running and thriving and so in a way, a part of Robert Fraser lives on through that. I find myself wondering sometimes if Paul ever stops and reminisces about his friend when he looks at that green apple, you know?

"I know tongues are going to wag, but tough shit.’ I was secure about my sexuality. I always felt this is is fine. I can hang with whoever I want and it didn’t worry me. I mean...we didn’t share a room or anything." (1997)

"[It] caused many catcalls from my friends: ‘Hey! We know yer!’ Piss off. I’m quite secure in my sexuality, lads. But it was, ‘You can’t go to Paris with him, man. Staying in the same hotel?’ (2010)

Copying my tags here too cause i have more to say.

Fuckkk like you're john lennon and you've managed to make history's first femboy obsessed with you, despite having a lot of weird hang-ups about being gay, and also basic intimacy, but especially being gay. But you're putting the moves on regardless (read: engaging in homoerotic rivalry best friend pseudo yaoi) and its been working for the past couple of years, but due to circumstances under your control (but also the mental problems you definitely have) you start to pull away from him due to your reliance on LSD, and general apathathy mixed with unresolved anger issues. And then fucking Groovy Bob swoops in with his hat at a jaunty angle and wearing like 3 ties and now HE'S putting the moves on YOUR repressed twunk. And because his mental problems are less pressing and he's notoriously homosexual, his moves are all stuff like "taking him to dinner" and "having sex with him" instead of playing mindgames in which you make him fight for your affection. FUCK how could you compete with this guy

Paul and Robert Fraser leaving Paul’s Cavendish home in Nov. 1966:

Paul McCartney with artist Brian Clarke and art dealer Robert Fraser at Peasmarsh in 1982, with four-year-old James McCartney. The crate reads 'GLASS DO NOT LAY FLAT', and presumably contains the stained glass panels Brian Clarke created based on the 'Tug of War' album art that briefly feature in the 'Take it Away' music video.
