This Is Such A Weird Take. Why Would Julian Not Love Having These Memories Of His Dad? Why, Even If John

The comments on this picture are hilarious. Paul has nowhere to lean because they’ve been asked to pose that way. I’m all for deep dive analysis but sometimes the simplest explanation is the real explanation. And they all supported each other. It wasn’t just one way.

Controversial option but in some ways I think George understood John even better than Paul did

"That was the great thing about John and what I got from him, from all those years. He saw that we are not just in the material world; he saw beyond death, that this life is just a little play that is going on. And he understood that." ~ George Harrison

John and Jane would be great but I also wouldn’t mind Paul and Stu lol. You could cut the tension with a knife lol

Beatle Hypotheticals #19

If you could be a fly on the wall in a broken lift for an hour, which one of the following pairs would you want to be trapped in a lift with and why?

John and Jane Asher

Paul and Brian Epstein

George and Magic Alex

Ringo and Pete Best

Is there another pairing not listed above that you would want to be trapped in a lift with? If so, which pairing and why?

Ah the hypocrisy. Lewisohn gives Paul some light criticism (along with Stu!) about his letter format? and this is unacceptable. Paul takes numerous pot shots at John (criticises his lack of literary nature, lack of handiness around the home, takes credit for Ticket to Ride for some reason) in the lyrics book and anyone who questioned it was completely shot down. Surely this double standard is apparent?

“On 27 March, Stuart wrote a letter looking to get the group a holiday camp booking … and as if in competition, which he was, Paul also wrote one that same day or soon after. Both are indicative of their hopelessness, for - as Rory Storm and the Hurricanes thrillingly knew - summer seasons had already been tied up a month or more. Paul’s was another masterpiece of dressing: this time he made no mention of personnel, obscuring altogether the question of a drummer, and added one to every calculation - the boys were ‘eighteen to twenty’ and had been together for four years, time in which they had ‘acquired three very importance things - competence, confidence & continuity’. Stuart’s letter was also verbose, and more intense. The recipient couldn’t have had many letters from rock groups that began 'Dear Sir, As it is your policy to present entertainment to the habitues of your establishment…’”

It’s nice to see something about John on here. John and Sean had a beautiful relationship and I do think he and Julian would have gotten there. I’m sorry both of them were robbed of their father because of a madman.

This isn’t a shitpost though. It’s a literal play by play of what happened between these 2 idiots. I wonder if Paul lies in bed late at night and regrets not taking John up on his offer of a repeat performance?

Get Back Part 2 - India Conversation: The Subtext

Paul: "You just sort of see us, what we're doing..." "It's unbelievable, you know?"

Subtext: Boy did we act completely abnormally in India!

George: "What were you doing?"

Subtext: You and John have been acting extremely weirdly since India, what the hell happened between you guys there???"

John: "Yes, what were we doing?"

Subtext: Yes George, something significant *did* happen between Paul and I but we're not going to explicitly tell you what it was.

Paul: "I don't really know, you know?" "But it's like, we totally sort of put our own personalities under for the sake of it..."

Subtext: I do not want to address what happened between us in India, as far as I'm concerned it wasn't the "real" us anyway so I'm not going to acknowledge it, you can't make me!

John: "Who was writing all them songs?"

Subtext: Nice try Paul, if it wasn't really us how did we write all those songs while we were in India???

Paul: "Oh that was- that was..."

Subtext: Damn, you got me there!

John: "In the room..."

Subtext: Don't push me Paul, I'll happily tell George about what we got up to in the privacy of your room...

Paul: "Yeah right, I remember yeah..."

Subtext: I remember *exactly* what happened John, do not say another word!!!!

George: "Do you regret having gone there?"

Subtext: Since neither of you will tell me what the hell happened, can you at least tell me whether it was worth it??? Was it good or bad???

Paul: "No no, oh no no"

Subtext: No I don't regret it, I just never want to acknowledge it ever again

John: "I don't regret anything... ever..." *Intense simulation of d*ck s*cking while staring intensely at Paul*

Subtext: Well, judging from the fact you can barely string a coherent sentence together, I clearly blew your mind... Literally. If you want a repeat performance you know where I am ;)
