there’s a lot of bullshit lennon/mccartney quotes out there, misattributed by biases in biographers or straight-up fabrications. but there’s also “if i was a girl”. there’s also “if he had been a woman”. there’s also “is this a self-portrait?” there’s “in bed.” there’s “maybe that would’ve satisfied it”. there’s “nothing to worry about”, and “life begins at 40”, and “it’s only me.” there’s “the emperor of eternity”. “he chose me.” “i’m still in love with you”. there’s “i can always deny that it was ever written about him.” so who cares

i never know how to phrase it but something about the way beatles biographers and people in general view paul's reflexive placating persona and determination to smooth things over as manipulative or duplicitous and john's reflexive barbed persona and habit of lashing out as brave and subversive despite both being equally defensive mechanisms to shield themselves from the world that resulted in them saying things that weren't true says more about how we culturally view kindness or friendliness as inherently untrustworthy or flimsy and anger and carelessness as more believable as someone's true nature than it says about either of them in actuality

something i've been thinking about a lot lately

[before-the-last-midtownshow]

i love how paul's songs about john are mostly cute lovesongs (sometimes a bit toxic or angry but still)

and then john's just like: fuck you paul mccartney i hate you and your pretty face

​paul be like: ✌️😊✌️ its just my dead boyfriend guys don't worry ✌️😊✌️

Paul McCartney: "He (John Lennon) was such a big part of my life (...)" (Staff warning him to redo because a "weird blue flame" appeared.) Paul McCartney: "That was John! Haha! It's him. That's alright, it's ok, leave it in, it was John, he is around, can you see?"

having really niche overlapping subject knowledge is a curse because you want to make memes but no one is going to think you’re funny bc it takes too specific of a person to get what you mean when you say “if the doors were a statistical test they would be single-factor confirmatory factor analysis”

i want u all to know that i have made a 35page mclennon truther powerpoint for a powerpoint evening with friends

Still on "How do you sleep" I laugh when John says that a pretty face may last a year or two, but soon everyone will know what you're capable of." I wonder what Paul thought: "Ah, so you think I have a pretty face?" I imagine if social media existed at the time, him sending a message: "It must be really bad to hate me and not be able to say I'm ugly."

Ah yes, a very standard thing for one heterosexual man to say to another heterosexual man, using personal pronouns, alone in each other's’ company. Nothing to see here! 👀
