happy horrible piece of red meat anniversary <3

actually by far the funniest thing about the “we just had some privacy, didn’t we paul?” interview is george

pay attention to the way george 1) separates them by wedging himself in between them (resulting in a look of disappointment as john turns back to see that paul is no longer riding his ass) and 2) immediately puts a stop to john’s flirting by interrupting with “and the drinks are over there on the right…”

his whimsy is yet to be matched

“Last night Paul and Talitha Getty threw a New Year’s Eve party at their palace in the medina. Paul McCartney and John Lennon were there, flat on their backs. They couldn’t get off the floor, let alone talk. I’ve never seen so many people out of control.”

Apparently John and Paul took a trip to Morocco together to celebrate New Year’s

Idk, I think if I were John Lennon, dabbling in gay thoughts, and my friend Paul, who has always kinda looked like a mix of my crushes Elvis and Brigette Bardot, was getting hotter and hotter every year, and we were becoming closer and closer every year, writing love songs together and singing them to each other close enough to kiss, idk. I think I'd snap one day too.

The Quarry Men’s banjo player, Rod Davis, recalls, “I had bought the banjo from my uncle and if he’d sold me his guitar, I might have been a decent enough guitarist to keep McCartney out of the band. I might have learnt guitar chords, I might not, and that was the big limitation really. McCartney could play the guitar like a guitar and we couldn’t, and let’s face it, a banjo doesn’t look good in a rock’n’ roll group. I only met Paul on one other occasion after the Woolton fête and it was at auntie Mimi’s a week or two later. He dropped in to hear us practising. From my point of view, I was the person he was replacing – it’s like Pete Best – you’re the guy who doesn’t know. Some things had gone on that I was unaware of.”

I literally would not care if paul was slapping the other Beatles across the face on the reg he did what he had to do in order to get the band to be better

Our featured fag is Paul McCartney, husband of Nancy Shevell!

[majinmelmo]

in the lyrics book, paul talks about his song “on my way to work” and how while riding the bus, he would always think about finding the right person. later in the chapter, he recalls how he first saw john on that same bus (x)

The lovely @pauls1967moustache has kindly ripped the Julia Baird interviews Paul CD, so I can finally get to hear Paul reminisce about the good old days of (checks notes) banana milkshakes. Thanks Mo!

We went to Paris... it was supposed to be Spain, but we couldn't get past Paris, we enjoyed that so much... on the strength of his hundred quid when he was twenty-one. We went hitch-hiking, we kind of said, 'well look, I mean, we could get to Spain on this', you know, hundred quid, you know? He was kind of... I don't think he was funding me, so much, as he was spending. And I'd be there for the banana milkshake! [Julia laughs] You know, I'd just happen to be there while he was spending, you know?

On this day in 1969, Paul McCartney tortured two men at once

Paul McCartney, Denis O'Dell and Robert Fraser during recording sessions for Let It Be, 23rd January 1969

Paul flirting with Denis O’Dell, trousers unbuttoned (so he doesn’t ’scratch his guitar’), arse in the air, while Robert Fraser waits patiently for them to ‘go home’, Paul making it up to him with a hand on his arm…

Sounds about right
