Comments by Peter Dogget (author of You Never Give Me Your Money)

“Lennon could have abandoned the (US) immigration case and returned to Britain, and possibly even to McCartney, but that would have meant accepting that his relationship with Ono was over.”

"In the great tradition of pantomime dames, Lennon played the leading female role of Thisbe, which allowed him some highly camp flirtation with Paul ‘Pyramus’ McCartney."

"Literary parody was still Lennon’s inspiration in this brief ‘story’, which according to the credits in In His Own Write was written “in conjugal with Paul”

"What happened at the Dakota in January 1975? Various biographers have suggested that Ono might have drugged Lennon or hypnotized him, or used her esoteric knowledge of witchcraft. But these far-fetched rumors underestimate the power of Lennon’s psychological drives. More intriguing, in retrospect, is Ono’s rationale. Did she choose this moment for a reunion because the numbers were right, or was she afraid that she might lose him forever if he reunited with McCartney? Whose dependence was greater: Lennon’s on the woman he called mother, or Ono’s on the man who had brought her global recognition?

"(Paul’s Life interview, November 1969): “’The Beatle thing is over. It has been exploded, partly by what we have done, partly by other people. We are individuals – all different. John married Yoko, I married Linda. We didn’t marry the same girl.’ It was an intriguing way to describe the break-up, deflecting his disagreements with Lennon onto the choice of partners.”

"In mid-January 1973 Lennon and Ono quarrelled publicly at another party. “I wish I was back with Paul,” Lennon reportedly said."

“Seeing Lennon focus on Ono rather than him[Paul] was as devastating as it would have been for Cynthia Lennon to witness the couple making love.”

“His partnership with Lennon was non-sexual, but it ran deeper than anything he had experienced with a woman”.

I told him: “You know you love your own company. Even Cyn says you go days without speaking to her. She feels a million miles away from you.” John replied: “Ah, but she’s not, is she. She’s in the kitchen putting the kettle on.”

—Tony Barrow, Beatles Book Monthly Magazine, No. 149 (Sept. 1988) [×]

¶

There’s one line in the lyric I don’t really mean: “Well knowing you / You’d probably laugh and say / That we were worlds apart”. I’m playing to the more cynical side of John, but I don’t think it’s true that we were so distant. 

—Paul reads from his new book, The Lyrics (2021). [×]

¶

“I’m kind of expected to say, ‘[John] was a saint, he was always a saint, I remember him as a saint’, but it would be a lie. He was one great guy and part of his greatness was that he wasn’t a saint. He was a great guy but he was pretty sacrilegious. He was pretty up front about it. But it was half the fun.”

—Paul McCartney (c. 1984) in The Dream Is Over: Off The Record 2 by Keith Badman [×]

¶

“John is neither a saint, nor is he a sinner. He was just human, like the rest of us.”

—Cynthia Lennon, answering the question “John Lennon: saint or sinner?” The Independent, July 1999 [×]

¶

“Seeing Lennon focus on Ono rather than him[Paul] was as devastating as it would have been for Cynthia Lennon to witness the couple making love.”

—Peter Dogget, You Never Give Me Your Money. [×]

¶

“Then also we were like married, so you got the bitterness. It’s not a woman scorned this time, it’s two men scorned — probably even worse. And I had to make way for Yoko. My relationship with John could not have remained as it was and Yoko feel secure.”

— Paul McCartney, Interview by Duncan Fallowell in the Chicago Tribune, October 14th, 1984 [×]

¶

“Apart from giving me the courage to break out of my stockbroker belt... Yoko also gave me the inner strength to look more closely at my other marriage. My real marriage. To The Beatles, which was more stifling than my domestic life. Although I had thought of it often enough, I lacked the guts to make the break earlier.”

—Skywriting By Word Of Mouth by John Lennon (pg. 17) [x]

¶

“I still think at the back of John’s mind was this fascination of wanting to get back with the first girlfriend, if you like, and that was to get back with Paul, who he had so much history with.”

—Tony Barrow, The Beatles’ press officer, on the Lennon/McCartney reunion that was never to be [×]

¶

“I mean, I think really what it was, really all that happened was that John fell in love. With Yoko. And so, with such a powerful alliance like that, it was difficult for him to still be seeing me. It was as if I was another girlfriend, almost. Our relationship was a strong relationship. And if he was to start a new relationship, he had to put this other one away. And I understood that. I mean, I couldn’t stand in the way of someone who’d fallen in love. You can’t say, “Who’s this?” You can’t really do that. If I was a girl, maybe I could go out and…”

—April 3rd?, 1985 (Soho Square, London): Paul talks on German television show exclusive about the breakup of the Beatles and his personal breakup with John. [x]

¶

“But Paul was his own man and not afraid of John. In fact, musically and personally, the two were beginning to go in separate directions so perhaps Paul’s visit to me was also a statement to John.”

—Cynthia Lennon, John [×]

¶

“Paul, who believed strongly in the family and in family values, told me that he felt as if it was the Beatles themselves who were heading for divorce, not just John and Cynthia.”

—Tony Bramwell, Magical Mystery Tours [×]

I wanted to end this post with a quote from Cynthia, whether it was from a book or was an answer to a question, about how she simply misses lying in bed with John, and just the two of them talking. This quote from her book John [x] is relevant, but unfortunately I couldn't find the exact quote I wanted.

To accompany the sentiment from John's first wife though, is this quote:

“If John Lennon could come back for a day, how would you spend it with him?” “In bed.”

—Paul McCartney answers questions for Q magazine, 1998 [x]

[rodeoromeo]

a few people have tagged me in this FINE I'll take the bait (most recently from @carbuckety but also @cherry-harrison @waugh-bao, thanks guys!)

Last song: The Byrds, Chimes of Freedom! I bought a Byrds greatest hits album today and I love loved it so much I played it once and then flipped it right over and listened to the A side again and then said this is silly go to bed and turn off the music so that's where side A ends. Although I'm most passionate about Mr. Tambourine man <3

Currently Watching: I am rewatching Orange is the New Black, and am also watching the current seasons of Riverdale, Always Sunny, What We Do In The Shadows and The Kardashians i cannot tell a lie

Currently Reading: CSNY by Peter Dogget!!! Learning about the boys ahhh!!

Current Obsession: Pretty much the same as the last but you probably could tell. CSNY... especially Neil... I was already very wrapped up in them and then the concerts I went to put me over the edge. I just love them very deeply and find them so so so compelling. Their music and their lives are just so rich with complexity and its maaaagically magnetic.. plus they are my beautiful girlfriends....

anyone who wants in please feel free! I'm sure most of y'all have done it already but if you haven't @mudcrutch @charlesandkeef

Las 7 claves de la séptima temporada de Orange is the New Black

Después de siete años y cuatro premios Emmy, Orange Is the New Black pone el broche final a su aventura en Netflix. La historia inspirada en las memorias de Piper Kerman fue una de las primeras grandes series de la plataforma de streaming. A pesar del desgaste que ha sufrido la serie en sus últimas temporadas, se ha mantenido como uno de los contenidos originales más populares de la plataforma. 

La serie ha querido poner toda la carne en el asador para despedirse por todo lo alto. Para decir adiós a Piper, Alex, Red y las demás, os dejamos con las siete claves de la séptima (y última) temporada de la serie. 

1. El ICE Processing Center 

La trama que ha capitalizado la séptima temporada de Orange is the New Black ha sido la que ha llevado a varias reclusas al Inmigration and Costums Enforcement (ICE). La season finale de la sexta tanda terminaba con Blanca (Laura Gómez) siendo interceptada al recuperar su libertad, pero ha estado acompañada, al menos en unos cuantos episodios, por Maritza Ramos (Diane Guerrero). 

Recuperar a Ramos para este storyline ha sido todo un acierto, la inocencia del personaje hace que el drama de la deportación y el maltrato al que son sometidos los inmigrantes en Estados Unidos golpee con más fuerza al espectador. Además, la historia personal de Diane Guerrero no puede estar más unida a este proceso. La actriz cuenta en sus memorias In The Country We Love cómo sus padres fueron deportados cuando ella tan sólo tenía 13 años y cómo tuvo que vivir de los favores de las amistades. 

Hace un par de años que se rumorea un posible serie en la que Guerrero interprete a una abogada que defiende a los inmigrantes en peligro de deportación. Quizás sea el momento de que vea la luz. 

2. El poder de la educación 

En la temporada de cierre de una serie sobre una cárcel, es casi lógico que se hable con mayor existencia en lo que espera a las reclusas fuera. Se ha hablado del la vida fuera con anterioridad, pero esta vez enfocada en la obtención del graduado escolar con el que podría llegar a ser más sencillo encontrar un empleo. 

Lo que parecía una de las tramas simpáticas a las que nos tienen acostumbrados, gana importancia con el paso de los episodios y se convierte en un camino de redención para dos personajes: Taystee (Danielle Brooks) y Pennsatucky (Taryn Manning). La primera consigue, a través de la enseñanza, una vía para superar su extensión de condena; la segunda, superar su dislexia y aprobar el graduado. Por desgracia, nunca llegará a saberlo, convencida de haber suspendido por culpa de Luschek (Matt Peters), se suicida. 

Sorprende el camino de Dogget al largo de la serie. Hemos pasado de odiarla, al atacar a Piper en la primera temporada; a sufrir con su pérdida. 

3. La sombra de Piscatella 

Podemos asegurar que el CO Piscatella (Brad William Henke) ha sido el personaje más indeseable de la serie. Tortura, engaño y violencia eran los ingredientes de su prisión. Sus propios hombres, terminaron por matarle, pero el muerto terminó sobre las reclusas. La temporada pasada, acabaron por declarar culpable a Taystee del asesinato porque Cindy (Adrienne C. Moore) mintió en su declaración. 

Con Cindy puesta en libertad a lo largo de esta tanda, su relación con Taystee no logra recuperarse. De poco sirven los intentos de Suzanne (Uzo Aduba), la relación entre las una vez mejores amigas no tiene solución. Para colmo, Taystee casi se carga la relación de Cindy con su hija y su madre al enviar una carta en la que los engaños de la familia salen al descubierto.

4. La libertad de Piper 

Piper Chapman fue en su momento la protagonista indiscutible de la serie pero poco a poco se hizo a un lado para abrir la serie a un reparto más coral. La temporada pasada ella salía en libertad, al resultar imposible alargar los dieciocho meses de condena mas allá de los siete años que ha durado la serie. 

La libertad ha enfrentado a Piper con los fantasmas de su pasado. La relación su su padre, su exprometido y su ex mejor amiga. Además, la relación a distancia con Alex no funciona. Piper conoce a alguien fuera y Alex comienza una relación con CO McCullough (Emily Tarver). Por fortuna para todos los miembros del shippeo, al final triunfa el amor, a pesar de que envían a Vausse a Ohio. 

5. La metamorfosis de Nichols en matriarca 

Nicky (Natasha Lyonne) pasa esta temporada de la noche a la mañana de ligar desesperadamente con una de las mujeres recluidas en el centro de inmigración a hacerse cargo de la familia de la cárcel. La familia que se había reunido en torno a Red se ha fragmentado desde el motín. La mitad del grupo fue enviado a otra prisión, Piper en libertad... 

Esta tanda de episodios ha obligado a Nichols a tomar el control. La depresión que atraviesa Morello (Yael Stone), tras perder a su hijo, es devastadora para su situación en la cárcel. Vince tiene que sufrir desde el exterior las mentiras de Lorna, incluida una cuenta en Instagram falsa para su bebé. Y cuando decide divorciarse de ella, Morello se vuelve imposible. Tanto, que es enviada a Florida. 

Red (Kate Mulgrew) está en una situación igual de complicada. El encierro en aislamiento ha acentuado un principio de demencia. La cabeza de Red no ha estado bien durante toda la temporada, y lo hemos podido ver en el escenario que mejor domina, la cocina. Nicky tendrá que cuidar de su familia.

6. El contrabando de la familia Diaz 

El contrabando ha sido un recurso habitual desde el inicio de la serie. Desde que Red fuese la reina de la cocina, pasando por la venta de bragas de Chapman. Ha sido, también, una forma fácil de mostrarnos el poder y la corrupción de los COs, que salvo la excepción de Blake (Nick Dillenburg) y alguno más, han aprovechado su influencia para beneficiarse de las adicciones y penurias de las reclusas. Esta temporada ha corrido a cargo de la familia Diaz. Dayanara (Dascha Polanco) se ha convertido en la cabecilla de una banda de trapicheo. La caída de este personaje ha sido de las más brutales de la serie, pasando de la presa inocente que se enamora de un guarda, a asesina y ahora jefa de banda. La relación de su madre Aleida (Elizabeth Rodriguez) con uno de los COs abre las puertas del negocio Diaz, y el regreso de Aleida a la cárcel hace que la guerra por el control del negocio estalle. Utilizar como catalizador un conflicto que hemos visto muchas veces antes, consigue que esta trama pierda interés y fuerza. Una pena.

7. La redención de Figueroa 

Natalie Figueroa (Alysia Reiner) ha vivido un camino opuesto al de Daya. El desarrollo de este personaje ha sido muy amable. Ha pasado de reina de hielo supercorporativa a ser una defensora de los derechos de las presas y de las inmigrantes en el ICE. Enfrentándose a opresores, racistas y defendiendo a niños y a mujeres en su derecho a decidir. Figueroa nos ha regalado esta temporada momentos de orgullo mientras continúa con su extraña y cómica relación con Caputo. Mantener al personaje y darle más tiempo en pantalla ha sido una de las mejores decisiones dela serie.

David Bowie / Nirvana / Silvia Pérez Cruz & Raül Fernández Miró. “The Man Who Sold the World”

El tercer álbum de David Bowie se tituló “The Man Who Sold the World”; fue publicado en noviembre de 1970, después de unas incómodas sesiones de grabación que tuvieron lugar entre el 18 de abril y el 22 de mayo de ese año. Peter Dogget, en su biografía sobre este artista, comentó que Ziggy Stardust estaba más preocupado de atender a su esposa Angie que de grabar el disco, tarea que se debió tomar…

Beatles biographers saying totally normal things about John and Paul: A compilation

"‘John always used to say,’ Yoko told me at one point, ‘that no one ever hurt him the way Paul hurt him.’ The words suggested a far deeper emotional attachment between the two than the world ever suspected - they were like those of a spurned lover." -Philip Norman

"No matter how much he loved Yoko, the Gibraltar ceremony seems like something close to an on-the-rebound reaction to the loss of his first great love, Paul McCartney." -Chris Salewicz

"Almost in each other’s face, John and Paul quickly gained an unusual closeness, little or nothing hidden. Paul noticed that ‘John had beautiful hands." -Mark Lewisohn

"With Yoko present, Paul McCartney’s reign as Lennon’s princess was doomed.” -Peter McCabe

"John's in love with Yoko," Paul confessed to a reporter from the 'Evening Standard', "and he's no longer in love with the three of us." But for all intents and purposes, he might as well have been talking about himself." -Bob Spitz

'I thought Paul's was rubbish,' opined Lennon, saying that he preferred George's All Things Must Pass. McCartney studied the article with the morbid fascination of a jilted lover receiving a kiss-off letter. -Howard Sounes

“Lennon could have abandoned the (US) immigration case and returned to Britain, and possibly even to McCartney, but that would have meant accepting that his relationship with Ono was over.”-Peter Dooget

"Theirs was a volatile relationship right up to the end, and was fraught with emotional summits and valleys. While the connection between them was strictly heterosexual, it was deep, passionate, and highly explosive." -Geoffrey Giuliano

"John was insecure, and when he saw Paul he wanted to look cool. He gave up all his friends for Paul. Aunt Mimi recalled that John jumped around the kitchen when he told her about his new friend. She sarcastically said to John that they were like ‘chalk and cheese’ meaning how different they were. And John would start hurling himself around the room shouting ‘Chalk and Cheese!'’ smiling and laughing. He was fucking in love with him, he adored him. She understood he found the partner of his life.“ -Thomas Rhodes

“The last week in August, Paul McCartney returned to Liverpool, tanned and noticeably slimmer. In addition to starting school, he came back to begin a relationship he seemed destined for: hooking up with John Lennon." -Bob spitz

“Seeing Lennon focus on Ono rather than him [Paul] was as devastating as it would have been for Cynthia Lennon to witness the couple making love.” -Peter Dogget

One of the ironies of this reading of Beatles history is that three months after he invited Klein into the drama Lennon was still quite confident that the group would last forever. 'Wait and see,' he said, in April 1969. 'We'll be around, we'll be together when we're 60. But we won't be following each other around like sheepdogs.'
