"John's art school friend Jonathan Hague recalled later that John 'Suffered an awful lot from loneliness... If you were his friend he would beg you not to leave him and then go over with you exactly when you would be back.'"

About A Girl | Nirvana

Considered Kurt Cobain's first great pop composition, it is said to have been written and recorded at home, after the musician spent an entire night listening to the album Meet The Beatles from the late eighties, Cobain sought to hide his intentions to write pop music, since he was afraid of dividing the band's fans with a sound different from grunge and the underground, he considered it to be something risky for the time.

However, the producer of the Bleach album was enthusiastic about the composition and saw it as a single with potential, so it was included as the third song on the 1989 album. Years later, producer Butch Vig revealed to a magazine that Kurt Cobain was a great fan of The Beatles and the more time he spent with him, the more noticeable the influence he had from them when writing his songs.

It is said that once the song was finished it had no title, so when he introduced it to his bandmates they asked him what it was about and Kurt only told them it was about a girl, the girl the song talks about is Tracy Marander, in that moment, Cobain's girlfriend with whom he lived and who saw the birth of the band Nirvana.

The song talks about the couple's difficult romantic relationship, and Cobain's notorious anxiety to be heard. All mainly caused because Cobain refused to look for work and share cleaning duties for his pets.

Strangely, Cobain never told Marander that he wrote this song for her and she only found out about it until 1998 when she read Michael Azerrad's biography of the band.

I did a little concert for somebody in Hollywood. Paul McCartney was there. I've never met him before, but I'm a fucking fan of The Beatles. I'm in the back smoking, and they're like, "Sir Paul would like to meet you." I'm like, "For real? Hold on," and I put that blunt out. Cuh walk in the room like, "Don't put that down."

HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY, FREDDY & FRIENDS!

I cannot believe it has been TEN YEARS since Five Nights at Freddy’s first jumpscared its way into our hearts. It seems like just yesterday I was rooting for Foxy and Chica (iykyk), and being eerily intrigued by FNAF IRL… Anyway, wanted to draw something special for a franchise that is equally as special to me. Props if you get the reference! <3

“I loved him dearly… He was just such a lovely man, a gentle spirit. He was a beautiful guy, full of love, full of wisdom.” Paul McCartney, Rolling Stone 2011

“He’s been my closest friend for so many years, and he’s also like a brother to me. It’s a unique and special bond that we’ve had since we were kids.” George Harrison, Beatles Anthology 2000

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

Logan and Wade listening to the radio and Logan just casually goes "oh i saw them live once. I met them outside afterwards and shook the singers hand."

"Wait...John Lennon?"

"Is that his name?"

"You mean to tell me you shook hands with THE John fucking Lennon of the motherfucking Beatles???"

And Wade once again has to remember how old his boyfriend is and is in total awe.
