#beatles polycule

ideal beatles biopic is an extremely goofy satire nothing-is-serious improvised musical comedy and then randomly in the middle is an artistically shot five minute long gay sex scene and then they never address it again

What is your opinion on Mclennon? Friends or lovers or friendlovers?

Excellent question anon. It really depends on the day.

As the great man said, nobody can deny that there's something there. But what?

I don't like to commit to any one interpretation, but I also shy away from the extremes. It seems impossible to me that two lads from 50s Liverpool had a monogamous-marriage-like relationship. But neither do I buy the idea that they were totally straight and ✨just good friends✨.

I have days where I think they were star-crossed lovers, with a deep mystical connection for the ages, kept apart by a cruel world. (Those are usually the days leading up to my period I gotta be honest).

There are days when I don't believe in mystical connections and I think they were just two fucked-up guys doing fucked-up things that hurt each other and longed for each other all their lives.

Sometimes I think all four Beatles were in a polycule (minus the healthy communication and boundaries).

So in short: who knows, Yoko? But whatever it was has kept me reading about them and watching them for [checks watch] 2 years now.

“The Beatles” you mean the McLennstarrison polycule????

[jinglejanglemornings]

i know this means “all four of them were married to different women” but my mind immediately goes “all four were married to each other”

Communication - or the lack of it - was at the heart of the problem. Throughout my career as a producer I had seen many major creative disagreements; arguments between leading stars and actors, between stars and directors, directors and designers, designers and camera crews. I've even been involved in a few myself. Such clashes are usually resolved, often very quickly, to the mutual satisfaction of all concerned and mostly to the benefit of the film. In short, disagreements are frequently productive. But that wasn't the case with the Beatles. They would never thrash out their differences with each other (or anybody else for that matter) in any sort of constructive or reasonable way. Instead, they would simply stop communicating with one another. Nothing ever got resolved, and the awkward silences formed a breeding ground for hostility and resentment.

the beatles had a competition to see who was the best kisser except paul was the judge so the other three all made out with paul for a minute and he ranked them

Wednesday 22 May

“The group and their entourage arrived and sat in the lounge area. They came through, picked up some bits and pieces from the buffet, and took them back to the bar area, where they were all having a few beers. They were very matey, very ordinary, lots of jokes and banter. They stayed up really late, quite a large crowd of them, drinking and smoking. I was so tired after working such a long shift, but they were such friendly lads, I didn’t mind.

“The next morning, they played a joke on one of the chambermaids. She had gone in to clean the room, and they were all in one bed! She was quite shocked! That morning there was a group of fans outside, and we were told by the management to keep our mouths shut, and not to reveal any details of the group’s stay. The Beatles were a breath of fresh air, somebody with a different accent, very polite.” Charles Finch, restaurateur

Thursday 23 May

John, Paul and George stopped off for lunch at the Willow Cafe in Stamford, Rutland (Paul ordered a knickerbocker glory with a fried egg on top), while Ringo ate with Terry Young Six bassist John Rostill at the nearby Olde Barn Restaurant.

At the end of the evening, several fans made their way to the back entrance of the cinema in the hope of catching a glimpse of the Beatles. They were not to be disappointed-the group appeared through a door at the top of the fire escape and waved. John balanced a pile of autograph books and LPs on the railing, throwing them down to the fans. Many of the LPs and books were ruined. One fan remembered, ‘The fab four thought it was very funny and went back inside laughing, leaving scenes of mayhem below. I’ve been a bit ambivalent about them since.’

if you’ve always been on band tumblr you might not know this but for the rest of the website the only posts from here that breach containment are beatles ones that get made fun of because people think its hilariously cringe that fans ship mclennon, and I can now say that there is nothing more deeply humbling than actually getting onto band tumblr and slowly realizing “oh okay… so everyone else was wrong that’s a completely real life thing that was happening”
