July 1967 Interview between Paul, George and two American Schoolgirls

Found out about this interview when reading a comment section. The interview itself is adorable all-round with both Paul and George being very sweet and open to the girls (Paul even shows them his kittens!). The girls too are so obviously teenagers and so sweet and earnest in their excitement.

Lots of interesting little insights in this one like George’s uncomfortable relationship with fame and Paul not thinking that the Beatles could ever stop being the Beatles. Quite tellingly, he also goes on a brief tangent about parents giving children liberties when one of the girls tells him that her mother is going to be angry at her sneaking off. His tangent ends up with him saying he wanted to present a ‘’view of the people that don’t want to be spanked anymore, thank you, Daddy.’’ The girls fathers had not been mentioned. 😬

Enjoy John Lennon’s angelic voice!

So guys… I was looking up musicians speaking in German and I found this!

Omg his Scouse accent in German sounds so cute honestly… here’s a translation of what he’s saying! (Done by me!)

Hello dear BRAVO friends! George Harrison speaking here. We Beatles were very excited and thankful that you guys have nominated us as the most popular beat band! We are very proud of our BRAVO Otto and that we have so many friends in Germany. Especially because we have so many great and fond memories about Good Old Germany. John, Paul, and Ringo asked me to let you know their names as well. Thank you very very much. From my whole heart thank you! And we wish all of our fans here the best, and especially all the BRAVO readers!

Your George Harrison

(Context: BRAVO is the oldest and most famous German youth magazine, and the BRAVO Otto is its award!)

heart eyes for grandpa 🤍

Hes so cute

THE FOOL ON THE HILL .     recorded: September 25-27 / October 20, 1967       filmed: October 31, 1967, in Nice

PAUL: I used to know Marijke [member of “The Fool”, the Dutch design collective and band], she was a quite striking-looking girl. She used to read my fortune in Tarot cards, which was something I wasn’t too keen on because I didn’t want to draw the death card one day. I still don’t like that kind of stuff because I know my mind will dwell on it. I always steered a bit clear of all that shit, but in fact it always used to come out as the Fool. And I used to say, ‘Oh, dear!’ and she used to say, ‘No no no. The Fool’s a very good card. On the surface it looks stupid, the Fool, but in fact it’s one of the best cards, because it’s the innocent, it’s the child, it’s that reading of fool.’ So I began to like the word ‘fool’, because I began to see through the surface meaning. I wrote ‘The Fool on the Hill’ out of that experience of seeing Tarot cards. (…) I think I was writing about someone like Maharishi. His detractors called him a fool. Because of his giggle he wasn’t taken too seriously. It was this idea of a fool on the hill, a guru in a cave, I was attracted to. I remember once hearing about a hermit who missed the Second World War because he’d been in a cave in Italy, and that always appealed to me. I was sitting at the piano in at my father’s house in Liverpool hitting a D 6th chord and I made up ‘Fool on the Hill’. There were some good words in it, ‘perfectly still’, I liked that, and the idea that everyone thinks he’s stupid appealed to me, because they still do. Saviours or gurus are generally spat upon, so I thought for my generation I’d suggest that they weren’t as stupid as they looked. [myfn]

PAUL: It was during that time, A-levels time, I remember thinking, in many ways I wish I was a lorry driver, a Catholic lorry driver. Very very simple life, a firm faith and a place to go in my lorry, in my nice lorry. I realised I was more complex than that and I slightly envied that life. I envied the innocence. [myfn]

All You Need is Love broadcasted on this day in 1967. A total of 400 million people in 26 countries watched the live broadcast.

Since I made a video for a John demo the other day, I decided it was Paul's turn. Here is a friendly reminder that this beautiful demo exists.

"Where the sound of lonely drums

invites me on, I must be by his side."

So I went ahead and cleaned up the audio for the Beatles 1960 demo I Don't Know (Johnny, Johnny). I know very little about audio mixing and all that, so it definitely isn't perfect, but in my opinion it's significantly more listenable and comprehensible than it was before.

i mean he really couldn't have been clearer
