“Q: So much time with The Beatles, I imagine the loss of John Lennon is still with you… A: Yes, it was a terrible time. The Beatles didn’t exist any more, but I remained friends with each and every one of them. And I was actually working with Paul when it happened, we were working on Tug of War together. And we were due to go into the studio that day. I was in my country house, he was in his, we were going to drive into London and meet in the studio. And I woke up that morning by a phone call by my bed at 6:00. And I was suddenly on the air in America, from my sleep, when a voice said to me ‘It that George Martin.’ ‘Yes, whose ringing me at 6:00? ‘ ‘What do you feel about the assassination of John Lennon?’ Q: That was how you…?! A: That was how I woke up. And you know it was the most awful moment in all my life. And when I got rid of the man and put the phone down–I was on the air, by the way, when it happened–I rang Paul, he would be awake too. And I said ’surely you don’t want to come in today, and he said ‘I couldn’t stay here; do you mind if we come in?’ So we went into the studio at 10 or 11 in the morning. We didn’t do any work; we just talked all day. We talked about him, and us, and it kind of eased the pain. And we got through it and went home and we gradually got over it. And that was my memory of John dying.”

#jesus christ I didn't fucking know this #the end part though... I'm very glad they could be there for each other that day

Paul and Linda before a Wings concert by Joe Stevens, 1972

“On stage Linda liked to wear glitter around her eyes, and Paul used to apply it for her before they went on.”

ok. here are my pitches for the beatles biopics

john: directed by david lynch. focused on the conflict between celebrity, identity and "real" life. the typical worms and maggots wriggling under the picture perfect roses type shit. mulholland drive levels of psychosexual tension + a single but extremely graphic mclennon sex scene. kyle maclachlan plays george. masturbation scenes are mandatory

paul: directed by luca guadagnino. oriented around themes of loss and desire - very bones and all but with the cut throat ferocity of suspiria combined with the expressions of sensuality in i am love. tilda swinton plays paul and it makes no sense but it works perfectly. mclennon sexual tension is mandatory but doesnt need to be acted upon in any graphic way. demands vivid colour palette.

george: directed by david cronenberg. interested in how celebrity demands the objectification of the body. cancer is a reoccuring metaphor. bob and george are the movie's central relationship. religion (hare krishna) is used as a way to further elaborate on the whole body horror thing idk i lost my train of thought

ringo: popstar never stop never stopping 2

#oh I’m so there

my favorite kind of gay sex is gay sex where they’re not actually having sex and they’re doing another activity that is obviously supposed to be gay sex

my apologies for the terrible editing or whatever but Taylor Swift and Paul McCartney are the same people sometimes and I'm going to make that everyone's problem.

#I haven’t even listened to the album yet I’m having too much fun seeing everyone’s reactions #‘but daddy I love him’ I mean did Paul not literally say this

I noticed something about Here Today. Look at how the first verse would end if it was completed the way the last is:

Well, knowing you, you'd probably laugh And say that we were worlds apart If you were here today, ooh [For you were in my ...., ooh] Here today

...

And if I say I really loved you And was glad you came along Then you were here today, ooh For you were in my song, ooh Here today
