In my poll, the motels question was the winner, but I thought we needed more information to understand what was going on, so these are the answers to common questions that I’ve seen regarding McLennon in the 70s + the motels one.
Enjoy!
Did John and Paul meet more times in the 70s, that it is said in the press?
I would say yes.
It’s very interesting, because the cards start telling me about how they planned to meet, and how they thought about it. Every time this happened they would feel satisfied, but the thing is, they were very insecure. It was like if one of them was nice and loving, the other would suspect why he would be like that. There was also a problem about “flexibility”, it wasn’t like before, where they could be absolute fools. I think they had some sense of belonging though, familiarity. They enjoyed being together, but there was a lot going on in the moment, it was like you couldn’t know what was the actual problem, because there were lots of issues, and even when there was love, it felt like it wasn’t a balanced relationship. I think during the 70s timeline one of the parts actually addressed this issue, in a very mature way, the other part felt very good, very happy. But it seems to me that it was a thing of the moment, or probably lasted months (or a year), the thing is, some rumour, some news, something like that, stopped the happiness of one of the parts and he regretted “believing”. He thought that conversation was probably fake and the other did it to gain something, with a second intention, or in the best case, just for the passion of the moment.
It seems to me that after this part the cards were telling me about John’s lost weekend, which it is, messy 😭. I can do that if you want but I think it distracts us from the question.
So they did. But it was difficult to “really” communicate.
Did John and Paul still had some kind of relationship like they had in the 60s? (Romantic, sexual)
For me it seems almost impossible but, let’s start with the beginning.
The cards start describing a sensation that they had in a long time - someone is going to betray me. No matter what interaction they had, they ended up doubting anything. That wasn’t the ideal scenario for any loving relationship. It is obvious that they thought about this, how good it was, and also, one of the parts, possibly proposed something, but the other, firmly declined. I think this person felt “incomplete”, miserable, even when he was around famous people, very wealthy, and being in a “good state”. I think this situation let him to feel rejection in a way that he couldn’t actually choose what to do. He could see the difficulties of this relationship, was he crazy? I think he really wanted to try again, even with the good memories mixed with the unpleasant ones, but I think it was difficult to do something, even when he had something in mind because the other + wife couldn’t stop to do shit together and it actually blocked him for his intentions. I think he had to wait until some time, and then I can see him almost corner the other part between him and his wife. I think that reunion led to something, because leaving that one he felt amazing. They had to “solve” their imbalances, they knew they felt something. And I think, finally, after some time, this person sincerely offer him love, or the words, or actions. In that moment they felt like it was before. But I think again, rumours, or really bad friends would be saying again, that was a mistake, you are “not gaining” anything with this, etc. and this part saw it as the truth. All the peace, the passion, the conversations, the happiness, were shit. They couldn’t be real.
Could John and Paul solve all their issues during the 70s?
I don’t think so.
The cards start telling me about the break up. How they “didn’t” have a choice but to move on, it’s like they had to “surrender” to change. After some time they actually felt proud on themselves that they could do it, they “could” be without each other, but at the same time was a sense of being “incomplete”, and they didn’t like that they had some new rules to follow. Time to time they would remember “the good times”, everything that they left behind, but they didn’t like to appear weak, because they could see that they other was actually having a good time, like nothing happened. So that image that they had of each other, made difficult for them to actually start a conversation. It had to pass a long time until one of them brung it up. I think in this part of the timeline this person was VERY HONEST (or tried his best), very much upfront in what he felt (I can see the topics of love and sex in the cards). It seems to me this was a very passionate argument, it was like he could be almost screaming, but the other part couldn't accept this, it's like in his mind he had a very fixed image of the other, but the other would point out what they would "gain" with this. I can also feel the topic of music, writing. Work. And probably that didn't sit well with the other part. The thing is, this part, didn't actually answer. He just acted like everything in his life was going well, so what are you talking to me about this? I think the other part knew it was bullshit and tried to reach him again. The thing is, the other part didn't know what to do. For him it was "easier" to listen to the people who would told him that those kinds of plans were meant to fail, that there were second intentions there. This person would think about their relationship, how probably the other was saying some kind of truth, but then he would think that probably the other person was doing it as some sort of charity, because he was always "so good". And he felt "satisfied" thinking like that.
I think this was recurrent during the 70s timeline. The next cards are telling the same. One of the parts feeling very happy that he was contacted, feeling like 2 minutes of happiness and then regretting it, and feeling confused for the interaction.
As for the part who contacted first, I don't know how he had so much patience 😭. He actually would think time to time how to get the other person, even of he was "blocked", in some way.
Is it true that they would reunite in motels in the 70s?
I think it is. BUT -
The cards start telling me about the stress they went because of the “rules” that they had to follow, how they needed to act “mature”. They surely missed each other, they missed their love, but they couldn’t do anything about it, and it was like nothing good would come up of having those thoughts. It seems to me that also they thought that they were “in a good state” of their lifes, so why they would even bother. I think they thought a lot of trying to be the first on doing something, but they would regret, because nothing was like in the past.
It had to pass a long time until they would reunite. This reunion led to having more hope in the reworking of the relationship. The thing is, when A would propose something, it would be put in the set of rules that they didn’t like very much and B would feel that it wasn’t enough, but he wouldn’t say it directly. Obviously that hurt a lot, but A transformed the feeling into the fuel to plan something new. They had the chance again. But if I can illustrate it in some way, it’s like blurred. It was something that B probably felt like it was fake, a lie. A would propose a lot of shit but didn’t seem thoughtful of B’s feelings, it was quick, it was nothing. It was difficult to B to know what was the truth. He liked what would happen, but he would regret immediately also.

One day I’ll sit down and give an extensive talk on my experience with synesthesia, but for now I’ll just say that for me, music has always been tied to my art. Inextricably. When I put on music as I paint it’s not just background noise, it’s actively informing the piece. This is an example of me taking that to the logical extreme, this entire piece was made and crafted by the music I heard as I painted it. Using Beatles (and solo career) songs from across their lifespan, the finished piece becomes a visual symphony of shared history between Paul McCartney and John Lennon. Everything shared, and everything left unsaid.

truly obsessed with paul’s dedication to openly acknowledging that dear friend is about john but also absolutely refusing to speak about the line “i’m in love with a friend of mine”. the man has spoken about the meaning of literally every single other line except for that one and i respect it (despite how nosy i am)

why beatles why now
I'm exactly 3 weeks out today from incidentally pressing play on Peter Jackson's Beatles LOTR one ramblin' night and watching for maybe half an hour tops before before being so flooded. Flooded with the memories that in fact I knew every Beatles song back in the day--my first musical love as a teenager that I had just wandered off eventually from and forgotten. Flooded with the flash realization that every notion I'd had of the band AND their songs back then was highly restricted by my youth but also by the simplistic band mythologizing and lack of direct media of the 90's.
I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but surely I can't be the only one with this mind melting experience. How did you get here, blown away by the Beatles in year 2024?

I was thinking it would've been pretty funny if Paul covered Like a Rolling Stone In the late 70s when John was in his 'break' from music industry
Tumblr media
oh the parts about the diplomat *cough* Klein *cough* would sting so hard
the recurring 'how does it feel to be on your own' it would burn so bad
if he wanted to hurt John it would've been so easy..

Has someone ever woken up and tried to imagine how “Self-Portrait” by Yoko Ono goes?
Yeah, I know it’s about John Lennon’s willy, but 42 minutes of it?????? WHAT HAPPENS?
AND WHY DID RINGO VISIT THE SET?? CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN THAT TO ME!????
IS IT REALLY JUST ABOUT HIS JUNK? DOES IT MOVE? (Well, they say it did move…..)
THIS KEEPS ME UP AT NIGHT.
Also, MUBI’s description of the movie:
Tumblr media
I CANT.
Ps: If Yoko ever releases the movie or some copy comes out and you get the link….send it to me…
I don’t want to see it. I swear it. It’s just for research purposes.
Thanks.
Ps pt.2: did George, ringo or Paul see the movie??….
