Lots of drawings of Beavis and Butthead, let's change the channel, now draw the Beatles, with that cartoon design hahahaha

I will never get tired of saying it, ALL of Ringo's designs are terrible, this one, the Yellow Sudmarine one, the pink suit, damn whoever designed that

it was like looking at yourself, and looking at your own thoughts

1990 (?): Paul talks about his correlative relationship with John. 

PAUL: We just bounced off each other. Whenever he was stuck with something, I could kind of see that he was stuck, and could help him out a bit. Similarly [as he would do] with me. There was an element of competition, because if he had a great idea, I always wanted to have a great idea – just like kids anywhere, you know. If he’d come with a good song half-written or something, then the next time we’d show up and I’d come with a song half-written. So we very much emulated each other and mirrored each other, really – I mean literally, with me being left-handed. It was a kind of – it was like looking at yourself, and looking at your own thoughts.

I think we always felt like we were kind of equal in talent. I don’t think I ever looked at John and thought, “Oh, there goes a genius.” It was just, he was just a songwriter, just like me, you know. I don’t think he ever looked at me that way. Yeah, we had our little moments over the years; there was once or twice we’d compliment each other, but generally that was for other people to do, you know. We didn’t bother much with that. There was once where John looked over his glasses and he said, “You know, I think I might like your stuff better than mine.” And that was it, that was like the only time he ever said it. It was on like when we were doing Help! skiing, and we were just, um, listening through to – I think it was ‘Here, There, And Everywhere’ and stuff, and he’d just heard that and thought, “I think I like your stuff.” Well, that was quite a lot for someone like John to admit.

he knows what you are

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

this is a reminder that not only did john lennon hate paul mccartneys 1971 album ram, he in fact hated it so much that he posed with a pig (that he was afraid of) to immitate paul's album art and then put that picture in his album imagine just to make fun of him

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SIR JAMES PAUL MCCARTNEY (JUNE 18, 1942)

[buttahpie]

something that has me absolutely gutted over john, paul and george is the fact that they met when they were young teenagers.

paul was shorter than john when they met. i’m sure his voice hadn’t fully dropped yet either.

john quite literally watched them grow taller than him (i know he and george were about the same height but my point still stands, he watched his younger friends turn into peers turn into completely realized adult men).

and of course john was growing right with them. the de facto leader in the early years making it up as he went as these teenage boys looked up to him. have you seen a 19 year old try to act put together?

i look back at pictures of my friends from high school and i when we were 14-17 and we’ve already changed so much. round faces are sharper, life experience is deeper. i met up with my best friend from childhood for dinner a few months ago (at a bar, we went from polly pockets to IPAs ((i hate IPAs)) ) and i had the striking thought: suddenly we aren’t little girls anymore. but we still had our entire life shared. all those memories, all that drama from middle school to still rant about.

it was the same for those three boys.

i just think that adds a level of depth to their friendship and band that couldn’t be orchestrated.

think about their inside jokes. think about a 28 year old john lennon laughing at a joke that paul made from when they were 16 and 18. think about a 34 year old george smirking as he mumbles to himself a phrase only they would understand from their hamburg days. think about an 82 year old paul fondly remembering a hand gesture they would do to one another before going on stage and doing it to nancy, trying to explain to her what it meant.

think about how that affected the breakup of the band. after growing up together…did they really have an identity without the others?

it’s like the park bench “we were girls together”… they were boys together.
