Love your blog โค๏ธโฎ๏ธ
"Paul told countless stories about the echo chamber. He said heโd hide out there with John, kind of giggling and laughing when there would be another session in another studio. If you soloโd any of those tracks youโd probably hear them laughing." (Greg Kurstin)
"Lennon uses others to bring him out of his moodiness. The one who does it best is Paul." (someone who worked on the set of Help!)
"Lennon and McCartney were spotted together, chatting and laughing backstage, at the sixteenth annual Grammy Awards at the Hollywood Palladium [1974]." (Tom Doyle)
"Every week there was a rumor that the Beatles were going to get back together. It had nothing to do with it. But I didn't notice any animosity between John and Paul. The sessions at the Record Plant [in 1972] were interrupted whenever Paul called. They spent hours talking. The next day, an article appeared in the newspaper saying that they hated each other." (Gary Van Scyoc)
"John and Paul were inseparable that night, like Siamese twins. It was like the rest of us didnโt exist. They spent most of the evening talking, conducting a whispery summit in one corner. In the middle of the party they went out, ostensibly looking for a cigarette machine, and appeared some time after carrying a cocky-watchmanโs lamp. The next morning, when it was time to leave, we couldnโt get out of the house because they had put cement stolen from the roadworks into the mortise lock so the front door wouldnโt open. And we had to escape through a window.โ (Charles Robert)
"They were so tapped into what the other was doing and could sense their partner's next move, they just read each other like a book." (Johnny Gentle)
โPaul and John would come to my fatherโs place, go upstairs and lock themselves in for hours and hours, listening to records and thumping about up there.โ (Julia Baird)
"Paul and John were the best pals. They spent all their time together and stuff, and they had individual lives. But in the end they were the final sort of arbiters of everything between themselves." (John Dunbar)
"Paul and John were so tight it was like one person at times." (Roger McGuinn)
โI was fortunate enough to see them together many times in the late 60โs, and have always been fascinated by what I saw/heard: they finished each otherโs sentences, laughed together, just seemed totally in sync. I was a 15-year-old girl, but I did notice that about the two of them and will never forget it.โ (Lizzie Bravo)
"The wife of an important member of their movie crew told me, "Paul and John have a way of turning out the others when they're on. George and Ringo sometimes sort of wander away." I observed this too. John and Paul, the songwriters, are often a duet, with George and Ringo acting as loners." (Phyllis Batelle)
"In 1964 the Beatles stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel on the banks of Loch Earn [...] They went to bed early - on Tuesday morning - and slept long after sunrise. John and Paul, who shared a chalet, were out and about first.They took a short walk on the shores of Loch Earn, whetting their appetite for lunch. They found the invigorating fresh air a bit chilly, but waited to try to entice a dog into the loch by throwing sticks for it to retrieve. They later tried their hand at boating and went out on Loch Earn. After some confusion at the start, until everyone had learned how to drive their boats, they went off and beat up the loch for half-an-hour or so. Later on Tuesday a party was held for the four Liverpool tourists by the manager of the hotel and his friends. Paul retired first and John followed." (X)
"They were intensely close, remember, and Paul would do almost anything for John. So, once they were safely inside, Paul took a tablet of LSD for the first time. 'So I could get with John to be with him in his misery and fear.' (George Martin)
"He asked me to join the group, and so we began our trip together. We wrote our first songs together, we grew up together and we lived our lives together. And when weโd do it together, something special would happen. Thereโd be that little magic spark." (Paul)
