“When we sang together,” Lennon told Mintz in one of their conversations, “Paul and I would share the same microphone. I’d be close enough to kiss him. Back then, I didn’t wear me specs onstage – Brian Epstein said they made me look old. So we’d be playing these concerts, in front of thousands of people, but the only thing I could see was Paul’s face. He was always there next to me – I could always feel his presence. It’s what I remember most about those concerts.”

Strong

Driven, open to everything, honest, absolutely, dedicated workman, very hardworking, an artist. 

What people get wrong:  Alot.  That he’s a breadhead, when he’s actually very generous; that he’s petty, small-minded.  You know, all the battering that he took [after the Beatles’ breakup] he’d have to be a very strong man to take that and carry on. 

Author Chris Salewicz, discussing Paul McCartney

What’s up with the Podcast??? Has it ended 😔

Hi and thanks for the ask!

The podcast is definitely not over, and we ARE actively working on an episode we are very excited about (we promise!). It's honestly just a matter of finding time to work on it amidst the hectic intensity of our IRL situations at the moment. We are doing our best though, and we hope to deliver our next episode ASAP. Please stick with us! 🙂

Woke up this morning. Blues around my head. Ain't no need to ask the reason why. Went to the kitchen. Lit a cigarette. Blew the smoke rings in the sky. Just got to let it go. Just got to let it go.

Mm, it's real life. It's real. It's real life. It's real. Let go. Let go. Let go. (scats) Mm, let go. Mm, let go. Well, it's real life. It's real. Yes, it's real life. It's real. Let go. Let go. Like the mighty river flow. From the ocean to the shore. Let it go. Let go.

Picked up the paper. Read the Daily News. Nothing doing anyway. Same old BS. Doot doot doot doot cruise. Nah nah nah nah now. Let go. Let it go. (laughs) No, what am I doing? Why don't you let it go? Why don't you let it go? Mm, it's real life. It's real. Yes, it's real life. It's real. Let go. Let the mighty river flow. Let go. Let go. Oh, rock your balls, you... Woke up this morning. Blues around my head. No need to ask the reason why. Went to the kitchen, and I jumped back into bed. Something nasty in the sky. No need to be afraid. No need to be afraid. It's just real life. Real life. It's just real life. Just real life. Went up the mountain to see what I could see. Nothing doing nowhere. Went to the seaside. Had a cup of tea. Went to.... Why must we be alone? Why must we be alone? It's real love. It's real. Woke up this morning, blues around my head. No need to ask the reason why. Went to the kitchen, and I ran right to my bed. There's something funny in the sky. Why must we be alone? Why must we be alone? It's real life. Mm, it's real life. (whistles) Was I just dreaming or was it only yesterday? I used to hold you in my arms. And now a baby, and another on the way (laughs) la la la la la farm (laughs) Why must we be alone? Wah wah wah wah wah wah wah. (scats) If it don't feel right, don't do it. If it don't look right, look right through it. If it don't feel right, don't do it. Just call him on the phone.
