A Day in the Life

Q: Then the tricky one that the BBC banned – ‘A Day in the Life’. It’s been said that this is a sort of requiem to Tara Brown (the heir to the Guinness Trust, killed last December in a car crash in London). A: I’ve heard that. I don’t think John had that in mind at all. The real words to that are ‘Read the news today’. There’d been a story about a man who’d made the grade, and there’d been a photograph of him sitting in his car. John said ‘I had to laugh’. He’d sort of blown his mind out in the car. Q: Literally, with a gun? A: No, he was just high on whatever he uses, say he was pissed in this big Bentley, sitting at the traffic lights. He’s driving today; the chauffeur isn’t there, and maybe he got high because of that. The lights have changed and he hasn’t noticed that there’s a crowd of housewives and they’re all looking at him saying ‘Who’s that? I’ve seen him in the papers’ and they’re not sure if he’s from the House of Lords. He looks a bit like that with his homburg and white scarf and he’s out of his screws. That’s a bit of black comedy…

(Paul McCartney, November 1967, interview with Alan Aldridge for The Observer)

The verse about the politician blowing his mind out in a car we wrote together. It has been attributed to Tara Browne, the Guinness heir, which I don't believe is the case, certainly as we were writing it, I was not attributing it to Tara in my head. In John's head it might have been. In my head I was imagining a politician bombed out on drugs who'd stopped at some traffic lights and he didn't notice that the lights had changed. The "blew his mind" was purely a drug reference, nothing to do with a car crash. In actual fact I think I spent more time with Tara than John did. I'd taken Tara up to Liverpool. I was with Tara when I had the accident when I split my lip. We were really quite good friends and I introduced him to John. Anyway, if John said he was thinking of Tara, then he was, but in my mind it wasn't to do with that.

(Paul McCartney, 1997, Many Years from Now by Barry Miles)

I did once have an accident in Liverpool where I fell off a moped and busted my lip open, and we had to get the doctor round to my cousin Betty’s house. That was around this same time, when I was twenty-something and going out on the moped from my dad’s house to Betty’s house. I was taking a friend, Tara Guinness. He died later in a car accident. He was a nice boy. I wrote about him in ‘A Day in the Life’: ‘He blew his mind out in a car / He didn’t notice that the lights had changed’. Anyway, I was with Tara and had an accident – fell off my moped, busted my lip, went to Betty’s, and she said, ‘Get a doctor, get a doctor. It needs stitches.’

I've started the Devil's Rose's Series and decided to do bingo cards. Suggestions and discussion are welcome!

“we need more complex female characters” the second women start showing a glimpse of emotion y’all call them over-sensitive or annoying. smh.

Tara Jones & Darcy Olsson in season 3 of Heartstopper (2022 —)

HEARTSTOPPER 2.08: Perfect

[noodlearg]

why is nobody talking about how amazing of a friend tara is for isaac?

it’s the little things. she asks him to dance during the sleepover. she says hello to him and asks what he’s reading during the paris trip meeting. and when the whole paris squad is exploring the hotel she explores it with him.

i’m not saying the other members of the friend group exclude him on purpose but it seems like everybody else has somebody who they’re often paired with and isaac is more of a lone wolf, what with being introverted and not having (and not wanting) a romantic partner.

but tara always makes an extra effort to include him in everything and i just think that’s really sweet.

me, watching heartstopper, knowing fully well that i didn’t get a chance to have those cringe high school experiences:

the specific lighting on each cover is something so special to me

The HEARTSTOPPER SEASON 3 First Look Photos.

[onceandfuturelesbian]

just finished heartstopper season three and OH MY GOD THAT WAS SO FUCKING GOOD I CANT DEAL OH MY GOD

it was so well done and so so fucking amazing

everytime i think heartstopper can’t get any better, a new season comes out and i DIE

season 4 announcement RIGHT THE FUCK NOW !!!!!!

couple things

- why did they get rid of tori’s coming out and michael’s queerness ???? the ferris wheel scene felt a bit lacklustre to me

- wish imogen’s storyline progressed a little further but it also left off on a good note i think

- definitely felt the lack of sarah nelson but hayley atwell as nicks aunt was an amazing choice to play as some support for nick, i hope we can see her again in the future (WITH sarah pls olivia colman)

but like overall ????? 747382837656472286364/10 oh my god

also even just the physical appearance of charlie changing as he deteriorated and started recovering ??? goddamn they thought of every detail

i fucking CALLED imogen being queer (i bet she was a lesbian and now look at her)

i love that the books becoming a show gives them a chance to dive deeper into the other characters, not just n&c

oh and darcy’s storyline w their nan and then coming out and the haircut and all of it ???? fucking AMAZING!! and i love that it wasn’t an angsty, difficult realization (like nick, isaac, imogen and tori) and they were so comfortable changing and telling tara they’re non binary !!!

just

*chefs kiss x10000*

the entire cast deserves all the awards, ESPECIALLY joe locke cause his acting this season was fucking PHENOMENAL

oh and i love hearing them swear lmao

Just popping in to note this neat wardrobe trick:

Darcy and Tara's party outfits in this scene have no reflective elements, no sequins, glitter, or jewels, regardless of the angle of the lighting.

But on the dance floor . . .

That's all! ✨

The fact it said conclude instead of continues honestly makes my heart sink I can’t believe it’s all coming to an end 😭😭
