ROOFTOP SESSIONS BEATLES FAN FICTION:
I have a lot of (mostly George-centric) stories I downloaded onto my computer from the Internet Archive/Wayback Machine. Right now even though I have the correct URLs when I try to link I get a message about âHuge Domains for Saleâ and it wonât let me access the old website with the links I copied onto my computer.
I still have those stories on my computer but Iâm a little hesitant about posting them here in the event the authors of those stories donât want them posted. Until I get it figure out (which I hope to do) this is a bit of a workaround:
Go to the Internet Archive/Wayback Machine
Type in: http:www.rooftopsessions.com and hit enter.
That should take you to a page that says: Saved 192 times between 2001 and 2024.
In the bar chart underneath that, click somewhere in the black bar anywhere up to around 2014. It seems that the âHuge Domainsâ message blocks Rooftop Sessions entries sometime around then.
Once youâre there, click on any of the BLUE CIRCLED DATES on the calendar. Itâll show SNAPSHOTS taken. Click on the number in the bulleted area. THAT TAKES YOU TO THE ROOFTOP SESSIONS fictional information WHICH IS WHERE YOU WANT TO BE.
Scroll down and find the ROOFTOP SESSIONS STORY ARCHIVE BY AUTHOR.
CLICK ON ANY STORY THAT INTERESTS YOU AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO ACCESS THEM.
THE STORIES I INTENDED TO RECOMMEND TONIGHT BUT WHICH I CANâT SHARE THE ACTUAL LINKS CAN BE FOUND THERE. These are the authors and stories:
Hamburger Daze by Cheryl Mortensen
In Spite of All the Danger by Suzanne Warren

I Won't Say (I'm in Love)
Written By: Alan Menken & David Zippel
Artist: Susan Egan with Roz Ryan, Cheryl Freeman, Lillias White, VanĂŠese Y. Thomas & LaChanze for Hercules
Released: 1997
From the 1997 Disney movie Hercules, âI Wonât Say (Iâm In Love)â is the movieâs featured love ballad. After a romantic date with Hercules, Meg expresses her conflicting emotions through song (with some back up from the Muses). Hurt before and technically working for Hercâs arch nemesis, this song demonstrates Megâs reluctance to get into another relationship that (in her mind) can only end badly.
[MEG] If there's a prize for rotten judgment I guess I've already won that No man is worth the aggravation That's ancient history, been there, done that [MUSES, MEG] Who d'you think you're kiddin'? He's the earth and heaven to you Try to keep it hidden Honey, we can see right through you (Oh no) Girl, you can't conceal it We know how you feel and who you're thinkin' of [MEG] Oh No chance, no way I won't say it, no, no [MUSES] You swoon, you sigh Why deny it? Uh-oh [MEG] It's too clichĂŠ I won't say I'm in love [MUSES] Shoo-do, shoo-do, ooh [MEG, with MUSES] I thought my heart had learned its lesson It feels so good when you start out My head is screaming, "Get a grip, girl" "Unless you're dyin' to cry your heart out" Oh [MUSES, MEG] You keep on denying Who you are and how you're feeling Baby, we're not buying Hon, we saw you hit the ceiling (Oh no) Face it like a grown-up When ya gonna own up That you got, got, got it bad? [MEG] Whoa No chance, no way I won't say it, no, no [MUSES] Give up, give in Check the grin, you're in love [MEG] This scene won't play I won't say I'm in love [MUSES] You're doin' flips Read our lips, you're in love [MEG, MUSES] You're way off base (Shoo-do, shoo-do) I won't say it (She won't say it, no) Get off my case (Sha-da, sha-da) I won't say it [MUSES] Girl, don't be proud It's okay, you're in love [MEG] Oh At least, out loud I won't say I'm in love [MUSES] Shoo-do, shoo-do, shoo-do, shoo-do Sha-la-la-la-la-la, ah

God Only Knows
Written By: Brian Wilson & Tony Asher
Artist: The Beach Boys
Released: 1966
âGod Only Knowsâ is a song by American rock band The Beach Boys. It is the eighth track on the groupâs 11th studio album, Pet Sounds, and one of their most widely recognized songs. âGod Only Knowsâ was composed and produced by Brian Wilson. Tony Asher helped Brian with the lyrics. Carl Wilson sang lead, and Bruce Johnston sang harmony vocals with Brian in the outro. The song broke new ground in many ways. It was one of the first commercial songs to use the word âGodâ in its title. As producer, Brian Wilson used many unorthodox instruments, including the harpsichord and French horns that are heard in the songâs famous introduction. Although The Beatles engaged in a friendly rivalry with the Beach Boys based on mutual respect, Paul McCartney called this song the best song ever written.
[Verse 1: Carl Wilson] I may not always love you But long as there are stars above you You never need to doubt it I'll make you so sure about it [Refrain: Carl Wilson] God only knows what I'd be without you [Verse 2: Carl Wilson] If you should ever leave me Well, life would still go on, believe me The world could show nothing to me So what good would living do me? [Refrain: Carl Wilson] God only knows what I'd be without you [Interlude: Carl Wilson, Brian Wilson, and Bruce Johnston] Ooh, ooh Do, do, do, do, do, do, do Bow, buh-bow, buh-bow, buh-bow (Do, do, do, do) Buh-bow, buh-bow, buh-bow (Do, do, do, do, do, do) Buh-bow, buh-bow, buh-bow, buh-bow (Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do) [Refrain: Carl Wilson] God only knows what I'd be without you [Verse 3: Carl Wilson] If you should ever leave me Well, life would still go on, believe me The world could show nothing to me So what good would living do me? [Chorus: Carl Wilson] God only knows what I'd be without you [Outro: Carl Wilson with Brian Wilson and Bruce Johnston] God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you (What I'd be) God only knows what I'd be without you (God only knows) God only knows what I'd be without you (What I'd be) God only knows what I'd be without you (God only knows) God only knows what I'd be without you (What I'd be) God only knows what I'd be without you (God only knows) God only knows what I'd be without you (What I'd be) God only knows what I'd be without you (God only knows) God only knows what I'd be without you (What I'd be) God only knows what I'd be without you (God only knows)

I got to episodes 6 and 7 last night but had no time to write my thoughts on them, so here they are now!
Episode 6 Dr. Teeth hugging Zoot so tightly is going to be the only Smooth Jazz content I get in this series, isnât it?Â
Always good to see Baby Animal, especially seeing him develop his interest in music.Â
The bandâs origin story was interesting, but I kind of wished they addressed the fact that Lips was a late addition to the band, cause the flashback with them painting the bus made it seem like heâd always been there.Â
Also, interesting origin for how they got the Mayhem bus! Never put much thought into that before!
Also, is Teethâs backstory that is revealed in this series going to affect âEveryone Mattersâ? No, cause Iâm too fond of the fanon I developed or am borrowing for that story, but I do like the backstory they gave him in the show.
Episode 7: Again, how vast are Lipsâ music connections?! He knows one of the Bangles (his âWalk like an Egyptianâ dance was cute), he knows Paula Abdul (was he responsible for her being on Muppets Tonight?), and he knows Paul McCartney, and straight-up ignores his call when Nora decides they donât need an actual Beatle for their documentary (which killed me XD).Â
Zoot being unaware that certain celebrities are dead is pretty accurate, and I loved Morgan Freemanâs cameo.Â
Ugh, please assure me Nora/JJ doesnât happen! Iâm on Team Moog!
Really, Peter Jackson? You do TRILOGIES? Where are Meet the Feebles 2 and 3 then???Â
Also, on the note of the Feebles, Iâm surprised they were even referenced in this show, since their movie was beyond R-rated, and Iâve heard from somewhere that one of Hensonâs kids (I think it was Cheryl) was disgusted by that movie and considered it an insult to her fatherâs legacy.Â
Honestly, Iâd like to know more of what happened when the Muppets met the Feebles. Why are two in witness protection and the rest in jail???
Gonna watch episodes 8 and 9 tonight!!!

From Jesse Tedesci/ @jtedesci on twitter (x) đ
(followâď¸ for lots of great, rare Beatles content)
Full text is under the cut..
Some things are just wrong like âa womanâ coming daily to cook and clean after Mary died.
& I donât think Jim was sitting in on the piano during their practice sessions (lol) but the headline here to me is.. is this a rare pic of toddler Paul??
Is it him? I mean it most likely is vs them faking it or mistaking it for the article, though those early teen mag articles often seem like a mix of fact and fiction. I guess I just havenât seen a smiling photo from when he was this small so it doesnât quite look like him to me.
It also made me lol that they talk about Paul getting into trouble for speeding and drop in "there was also a bit of trouble when when a girl claimed that Paul was the father of her illegitimate baby, and her father was hopping mad"
That escalated quickly lol đ
As Paul said about Japan 1980 "a spot of bother"

The Story Of A Beatle's EarlyDays
by Cheryl Hillman
Hitparader, July 1965
The little boy in the picture was born on the 18th of June, 1942. His name?
James Paul McCartney. Yes, the Paul McCartney, left-handed Beatle bass guitarist. Of course, when this photo was taken Paul didn't know a guitar from a violin and a beetle was a "creepie-crawlie." His mother died when he was very young, but his father brought him and his brother up. He was named after his father and took after him musically as well. Before ihe war Mr. McCartney had a jazz band, and many years later when the Beatles were starting he often sat in at the piano during practices. A woman would come in daily to clean and to make some of Paul's meals, but Paul's father did a great deal to make a family life for his motherless children.
Paul became involved in beat music at the time when the Shadows type of music was all the rage in England. All the groups here were trying like mad to imitate them. The groups spent hours practicing, trying to work out a Shadows-type stage routine. It seems crazy now, but anybody getting on an 86 bus in those days was liable to bump into young Paul McCartney taking his instruments down to the Cavern. Chances are, though, that nobody would look twice at the long-hair-ed youth sitting on the number 86 holding a guitar case.
He had met the other Beatles gradually. George was encountered at the Liverpool Institute High School. They were lively lads, but surprisingly they didn't stir the place up too much. They weren't exactly angels, though! Paul can dig back into his memory and remember sneaking into the toilets, or behind the air-raid shelters, for a quick smoke between les-sons. The institute is one of the best schools in England, and, as in many English schools, the school was divided Into "houses." Each pupil is placed in a âhouse" at the start of his life in a school and is supposed to support it during sporting events, etc. The Institute is divided into "houses" and Paul was in Danson House. It's difficult to think of Paul wearing a black and green school cap, isn't it?
Despite George's influence, Paul did well at school, even though playing in a beat group at night meant that most of his homework had to be done very early in the morning before school. Paul stayed on at school to study at Advanced level, and when he left he even had a certificate in English Literature at Advanced level, which is pretty good.
John Lennon got himself in the papers for fighting when he was drunk, but not to be outdone, Paul also got himself in the newspapers at one point. He got his driving license taken off him and was banned from driving for a year for speeding . There was also a bit of trouble when a girl claimed that Paul was the father of her illegitimate baby, and her father was hopping mad.
One New Year's Eve, during a Cavern "all nighter" (all night session) a young girl who was drunk was "dared" by Paul's brother) to go up to Paul and kiss him. Of course, she did so. She flung her arms round Paul as he was coming off stage, kissed him...and fainted. A little while later the Beatles were at the top of the Hit Parade. I don't know if Paul remembers the incident, but that girl certainly hasn't forgotten it. She's engaged now, but last week she said to me: âI was potty on Paul, then! It was gear kissing him". I bet it was.Â

More autobiography
...I've rambled here about my art series. I haven't written much more about my life, but there is so much more, so here I go again. I left off in my teens, circa 1965, wandering New York, sneaking off from my suburban New Jersey home to explore and wonder and wander. Finally I graduated high school. My mother scored me a job in Monticello, NJ, at Swinging Bridge Lodge. It was a fabulous summer, I had my first sex, my first love, my days were filled with waiting tables and learning how to water ski from beautiful boys who wanted into my pants, my nights bartending (I was only 17 but everyone ignored that). My hair pulled up, a fake braid down my back, strumming my guitar, sitting behind the bar, cigarette dangling from my lips, wailing out Buffy St Marie and Joan Baez, life was sweet. It was then, one glowing evening sitting on the back porch of the Marina Restaurant, listening to Phil and Fanny Hype, the owners, chatter from the kitchen, gazing out across the lake, I visualized myself in my 80's, looking back at a life filled with adventures, telling my tales, and I knew between now and then I had to fulfill that self-prophecy...live my life to its fullest; grab every token, follow every path that presented itself, never let an opportunity go by. That was the real beginning, the intent to life my life to its fullest.
The summer passed. I returned to my NJ suburban home. I already had sculptures and drawings in a gallery in Englewood, the only artist showing, but Sharon Cohen, the owner, was so supportive she had somehow convinced my parents to let me pursue my studies at the University of Hartford Art School. It was a disaster. I didn't know how to be a student, I didn't follow the rules, I didn't understand or even know the rules and my fuck-it-all attitude annoyed the professors. The following summer, counselling at some Jewish sleep-away camp in upstate New York, teaching little people how to water ski, I met a girl who talked me into quitting school and getting a job at Columbia U. I just did it. The next day I was driving back home, I shucked the camp, college, and other people's ideas of what I should be doing with my life and slid out of it like an old, ratty, worn-out coat. I started commuting to my job at Low Library at Columbia on 116th St in NY, renovated my brother's unused bedroom into an art studio, got a bunch of drawings accepted at the Marissa del Rey Gallery on Madison Avenue, and my new life was underway.
Life slid into perfection. The 60's in New York was filled with civil disobedience, marches and sit-ins against the Vietnam war spilled out from Low Library onto the campus. I started seeing a boy who edited an underground newspaper filled with anarchy and insurrection, his tiny apartment in the Village smelled of Brussel Sprouts and cat litter and pot. Coming home at 2am stinking of Mary J, stoned out of my mind, sitting at the piano, composing and flying high. Commuting daily to my mindless job, weekends painting, drawing, exploring art, showings at my 2 galleries.
Mom decided I was drifting. Hear this voice, slightly Jewish NY accent, saying "Hally, you need something to fall back on. I signed you up for Katherine Gibbs. Go, you need a real job." Mothers. Can't live with them, can't be born without them. What could I do? I didn't have an alternative, the ultimate was given. My brother was living in Englewood with his friend, Dan Hennessey (yeah, he wasn't born in Toronto, he was born in Demarest, NJ -- Hi Dan, give me a call sometime) but he wouldn't let me move in, so I was trapped.
So I learned typing and shorthand. I hated every minute of it until I met Cheryl Vernon. Kindred spirit, gorgeous face with a marring split lip, we wore huge hats (hats were a must have at Katie Gibbs), white kid gloves that turned black from subway soot, heals under 2", skirts below your knees. It's 1968. Beatles, Donovan, folk rock. At the end of class every day we put our shoes and hats in our lockers, we rolled up the waists of our skirts to show our thighs, we put on our hip-high white patent leather boots that were definitely meant for walking, see-through shirts, chocolate Nat Sherman's delicately held to our glossy painted lips, we sauntered down Fifth Avenue with the rest of the girlie brigade.

face claims for random characters in. the book Ghost Story by Peter Straub from 1979 because i can !!!!!
Donald Wanderly- Michael Shannon
the beginning of the book reminded me a lot of the movie Midnight Special, which immediately cemented the character of Don (travelling with a mysterious child) as looking kind of like Michael shannon (a guy who travels with a mysterious child in the aforementioned movie).
Angie M. - Anne-Marie mostly
the aforementioned mysterious child! i thought of TWO black haired children but mostly I'm envisioning Anne-Marie from All Dogs Go to Heaven (her name has the same initials Come ON (subconsciously this is probably why i thought of her)). but i also thought of Cheryl from Silent Hill cuz of her pink clothes
Sears James- one of these guys
Edward Gorey or Peter Freuchen... Sears is described as "massive" with a bald head and an impressive beard. he also wears a black coat (i'm really caught on the coat here). neither of these r quite how i imagine him, but i did very specifically think of these photos (it;s the coat + beard combo).
Lewis Benedikt- Lon Chaney Jr.
not sure why i thought of this drawing of Larry in The Wolf Man by wormthing for this guy! Lewis is described as looking very good for his age, with a Cary Grant vibe that makes people think he should be an actor.
Stella Hawthorne- a person i know in real life so i'm not naming her or sharing her photo lol. u might run into my stella hawthorne faceclaim and never know
i wish i had a face in mind for her husband Ricky, but i can just rest easy knowing he is played by Fred Astaire in the movie adaptation
Anna Mostyn/Ann-Veronica Moore- Michelle from Strawberry Fields
i was 99% sure these were the same character & it turns out they kind of are but kind of aren't. Anna is in her 30s i think, & all i can remember about Ann-Veronica is that she has green eyes & is around the age of 18. but they're both this cartoon character from scrapped beatles movie strawberry fields
Gregory Bate- Conrad Veidt??
Gregory is described as being muscular, very beautiful, calm & charismatic with an underlying animalistic, seething malice. plus he has golden eyes. when i tried to envision his eyes, i thought of this shot in Eerie Tales where the light hits Conrad Veidt's eyes really strongly, so now it's kind of stuck even if this guy isn't the body type i would ascribe to an actor of greg. Greg is also very theatrical, which is fitting. side note he also wears a pea coat in some scenes which i'm pretty sure is what conrad is wearing up there SWAG
i wish i had a face claim for his younger brother Fenny but i have nothing :��( sorry boy. i guess it would b kinda funny if he was played by Jaeden Martell (who was also in Midnight Special) but i can't say that's how i envision him
Walt Hardesty- the sheriff guy from The Incredible Melting Man
what can i say they're both sheriffs......... the actor here is Michael Alldredge.
Elmer Scales- Horace Nebbercracker from Monster House
aww look at that first screenshot, he's so smitten :â˘) Elmer is described as having ears that stick out i think? I don't think he's very old so here's a pic of this guy when he's young. but at some point he starts looking worse & worse because he isn't sleeping or eating much.
ok that's all i got

Get a Room
âOh for peteâs sake- HURRY UP!â Cheryl shouted at the couple. âSome of us would like to get to practice on time!â
âAh cool it, Beater.â Rolling his eye beneath the brim of his hand, Rueben placed his hands on his hips, gesturing o the two of them. âYour just still bitter that Devlin asked out Amber first.â
âAm NOT!â she said hotly.Â
âAre too.â Becka taunted, floating behind Rueben for safety. âPenny for your thoughts, Mics?â
âI think itâs cute.â Shang signed, amused at the situation Devlin had gotten himself into. âBesides, isnât it a thing? To give your girlfriend your jersey?â
âWell itâd be a lot cuter if heâd HURRIED UP!â Cheryl snapped, turning on her heel. âI am NOT being late for a Monday afternoon practice with Crusader coming back from a weekend at his mothers.â

The Gizmos- or at least the half I havenât really shown yet.Â
Cheryl Beatles, eldest daughter of Wallabee Beatles and Kuki Sanban- her mortal enemy is the hair brush. Can play forward or a defense men depending on the mood of the rink.
Rueben Gilligan, eldest of the Gilligan brothers (as well as the unspoken coolest)- he stole his mamaâs old hat when he was about 6 and has yet to give it back. Typically a D-man with his brother, heâs one of the few cool-headed members of the team.
Shang McCraigen, one of the middle children of the McCraigen clan, he may be deaf but youâd be hard pressed to get a puck past him. His reflexes are insane. Theyâd have to be when your one of your older brothers is a tetramand and your two of your little sisters are a kineceleran and a conductoid.Â
I really need to make a family portrait of the McCraigen Clan

âThereâs one moment that Iâve regretted all my life which is a strange little awkwardness for me. There was one time when she said 'askâ and she pronounced it posh. And I made fun of her and it slightly embarrassed her. Years later Iâve never forgiven myself. Itâs a terrible little thing. I wish I could go back and say, âI was only kidding, Mum.â Iâm sure she knew. Iâm sure she didnât take it too seriously.â â Paul McCartney, in Barry Milesâ Many Years From Now (1997)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
âOne Christmas at the very beginning of your twenties when your mother gives you a warm coat that she saved for months to buy, donât look at her skeptically after she tells you she thought the coat was perfect for you. Donât hold it up and say itâs longer than you like your coats to be and too puffy and possibly even too warm. Your mother will be dead by spring. That coat will be the last gift she gave you. You will regret the small thing you didnât say for the rest of your life. Say thank you.â â Cheryl Strayed, Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar
