Q: “What’s the most popular misconception about you that people have?” George Harrison: “That I am serious. Pisces are depicted as two fish going in opposite directions. Many people do not see my humorous side.” - MSN web chat, February 15, 2001 (x)

Beatles at Karaoke

My friends and I used to go to karaoke back in college, and what needs to be understood is that karaoke isn't about singing well, it's about courage and holding your liquor and a willingness to make an ass of yourself in front of people who love you.

This is how I imagine the beatles' company-wide karaoke party.

John: Slightly too drunk but understands the assignment. Performs WAP so enthusiastically that it may constitute sexual harassment.

Paul: Does not understand the assignment. Sings Blackbird like an angel and truly does not understand why everyone liked John more.

Ringo: Refuses to sing at first, can be coaxed if someone agrees to go up and sing with him.

Brian: Refuses to sing, cannot be coaxed.

George Martin: Foolishly allows John to pick a song for him. John picks My Humps and tells everyone GM thought it was a song about severe, inoperable bunions.

Mal: Sings Summer Nights from Grease with Ringo. He is Danny Zuko.

George: Passed out drunk in the bathroom before karaoke even started.

#idk why i think george wouldn't be able to pace himself i just do #maybe he was drinking with the hells angels and it got out of hand #since he obviously invited them #the beatles #beatles #shitpost #ringo starr #george harrison #paul mccartney #john lennon

Y'know it was really bitchy and high school when the beatles all pretended they couldn't hear Yoko, but at the same time if the beatles actually WERE hard of hearing it would kind of explain a lot. Not in a musical sense but just because half the time when they talk you think "can these guys fucking hear themselves?"

"For the first time, I think [George H.W.] Bush looks like he's in over his head. You know, any effective leader has got to be a son of a bitch. [Dwight D.] Eisenhower was as cold as ice. He had to be to do the damn job. And [Lyndon B.] Johnson? Forget it. You have to instill the fear of God in your people in order to get results. This is Bush's problem. He's nice; everyone likes him. But no one fears him."

-- Former President Richard Nixon, on President George H.W. Bush, to his aide Monica Crowley, November 22, 1991

#I love that you can literally hear sonuvabitch in nixon's voice #also feels like an interesting parallel to biden's 'obama doesn't know how to say fuck you correctly' #when otherwise they're such dissimilar men #but they both knew politics inside out I guess

'There is nothing hard or aggressively masculine about them. Nothing to suggest sex.' 👀👀👀

Daily Mirror, 28 May 1964

[Transcript under cut]

A psychologist put the Beatles under his microscope yesterday...to find out what makes them tick with the girls.

His diagnosis may spark off screams of protest from the fans. For this, he says, in their secret: "There is nothing hard or aggressively masculine about them. Nothing to suggest sex."

And the psychologist, Dr Frederick Casson concludes that John, Paul, George and Ringo are just cuddlesome pets to their fans - objects for motherly rather than sexual feelings.

Why should this no-sex appeal strike such a response?

In an article in this month's Family Doctor magazine Dr Casson says that part of the answer is in the "cheerful, pleasant personality of the four boys."

He adds "They look young and unspoilt. Their hair and clothes are appealingly neat and clean. They hairstyle and their extremely youthful appearance creates an impression of sexual ambiguity."

Dr Casson goes on, "They seem essentially nice boys - the sort a young girl can safely dote upon. Their extreme youth appeals very much to young girls, even to nine year olds. Their informal boy-next-door manner makes it very easy for the girl to identify herself with the Beatles. They are unaffected, and relatively classless, with no pretensions - quite unlike the formidably glamorous grown-up stars of stage and screen and TV."

The doctor calls the screaming of girl fans "a very exaggerated form of giggles." And he says that the no-sex secret of this "mob ecstasy" may in the end cause the Beatles' downfall.

For he adds: "It is probable that, as they grow older, the Beatles will inevitably lose this strong appeal to very young girls."
