#john and paul and Jim

[eloeloanna]

Hi there!

Thank you for all your dedication to reading. 💖💖🙏 If you allow me to ask once again, I'd like to going back a little further in time just to understand a bit...

Considering that they both initially weren't big fans of this friendship between our little doves, but soon accepted the reality of their obvious "friendship"... What did Aunt Mimi and Father Jim think about them? Did they just not like their relationship because of the rock n' roll rebellion or was there an additional fear, if you know what I mean? 🌚

Thank again =D

Awwww thank you for trusting me these questions! Also, sorry for taking so much time, but I’ve been stuck in a very interesting (and tiring!) project.

So, to answer the questions I divided them in two.

This is for entertainment purposes only.

What did Mimi think about John and Paul?

I think at the beginning, Mimi thought about having a lot of patience with them. She didn’t like what she saw, but tried her best to remain calm. I think it all suddenly changed, and when she saw Paul, she thought that he was fake as fuck 🤣😭. I think for her, Paul was someone that was near John just because of his status (how popular he was and how much money he had) and John wasn’t aware of that at all. She also thought that John was losing himself in this relationship, also “losing” in the sense that Paul was actually a social climber. So the truth was that for her it was mostly about class. How it was even possible that they were friends? They were doing all kinds of stupid shit 🤣, how it was even possible?! I think it had to pass some time until she saw how they actually started something very beautiful (for me, this is about the band). Was it something that she liked? No. She obviously also realised how much money they were doing together. So that “soften up” her view into the relationship. She in this part in the timeline could see how the things were very different, how they weren’t just the stupid children doing stupid stuff, they now were evolved, John had clearly lots of affection for Paul and Paul had lots of affection for John. They seemed good together.

I think Mimi suspected of something going on but she never wanted to believe it. It was like it was there and it wasn’t. So I think she rejected them more in the beginning because it was a class thing.

What did Jim think about John and Paul?

I think Jim since the beginning acted very tough with them, but it was because this relationship was something that he thought was doomed from the start. It was like suddenly Paul was very happy, like out of nowhere. So that was very suspicious.

But Jim saw how they were actually very lovely, it was like he tried very hard to choose his words and actions because of that. They were so tender with each other. But there was an issue that he couldn’t ignore and it was money matters. He knew that because of that, this relationship wasn’t going to last. So he actually thought that was doing the right thing when he tried to persuade Paul to get out of there. He really thought it was for the best. I think it was very hard for him when Paul actually chose to do other things, when he purposely chose to be around John, it was like he felt he was a failure as a parent. It was like he couldn’t stand knowing that Paul was doing all those kind of things (rocking, partying, drinking, etc), how he was obtaining money. What was Paul actually doing? I think he could see how strong the partnership was, but was kind of resentful. Everything that he worked for turned into THAT.

I asked if he suspected that something more happened and I think he did. What the cards are showing me is disappointment. It is the feeling of “what did I do wrong for this to happen?”. Very interesting energy.

Paul Mccartney in an interview with Charlie Rose talking about meeting John Lennon for the first time, October, 1991

PAUL: Who is this person? But then I met him a little later that day and uh, I was surprised at how drunk and horrible he was. Cause I was younger then, he was just sixteen-

CHARLIE: He was a bad influence on you, was he?

PAUL: -Well he was getting a six pack down him y’know, he was sat there and he was getting going. I was later to learn those tricks but I was a little bit innocent at the time. Yeah, I remember this guy sort of smelly breath over my shoulder, sort of thinking, “Oh dear me, hoodlum, y’know hello.”

There’s soooo many things I love about this particular telling of the story of John and Paul first meeting:

- His description seeming like such a caricature of a Liverpudlian teenage boy but knowing John was JUST LIKE THAT

- ‘I was a little bit innocent at the time.’ as if John corrupted him with his ‘hoodlum’ shenanigans

- It’s so clear that John was this image of older boy coolness to Paul when they were younger; the way he talks about his initial aversion to John’s antics while smiling, knowing that John’s influence would shape the rest of his life.

The comparison of younger Paul to a teenage girl with a crush on an older boy is so true- I mean, just look at him giggling about drunk John peering over his shoulder, defiling his ‘innocence’

is this anything beatle people?

[cheesenchalk]

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

The Psychology of Paul McCartney in Quotes

I think I'll go ahead and post these as they are and invite people to please send in quotes that you think might add something to these because I know they're definitely not complete! Or if you have other Paul Issues TM that you think I should do a compilation on let me know!

As it stands, the docs have the quotes organized chronologically so they tell a story. Some quotes made it into more than one doc because there is a lot of overlap, but I tried to keep it as organized as possible. I think it's pretty head-spinning reading some of these things in the order that they are. It makes him make more sense to me.

i feel conflicted abt the “paul wanted to be a father to john” and vise versa. i don’t think either one of them expected the other to be paternal. rather, what they provided to each other is what they lacked in their lives, which is the emotional needs that a lost/estranged/distant family member never provided. this doesn’t mean they wanted to be parent, instead john needed someone who could be his friend (similar to how julia was) but also love and cherish him and stay present throughout it all. on the other hand i think paul needed somebody to be attentive, intuitive, protective, and validating. both of them have deep rooted emotional trauma and i think they equally fostered each other’s good qualities while simultaneously redirecting the not-so-good ones. it was a symmetrical and beautiful balance and each time i come on this app i get sad thinking about how it all ends…
