Another classic dad joke from John…

Q: We'd like to hear what you thought about Mr Clay? John: Very tall, very tall Ringo: Oh, he's a big lad Paul: He's a great laugh, you know, more than anything Ringo: He's got a big mouth George: He's going to get Sonny Liston in three, that's what he said Paul: That's what he said Ringo: That's what he said Paul: I don't think he will though Q: I hear you were creeping up to Harry Carpenter in the training camp, Paul, and whispering things to him Paul: Yeah, well, you see, the other thing was, he asked me who was going to win, and you know, I would have told him out that I thought Liston was going to win John: But you're a coward! Paul: I'm a coward! And it was in Clay's camp, you see and there's all these big fellas sitting around, so I said 'Liston'... I had to whisper, you know John: Liston, do you want to know a secret? Paul & George: ... want to know a secret? [laughter] Ringo: We're plugging, you know, we're still trying to sell!

“… and then when i’m while away, i’ll write home everyday, and i’ll send all my loving to you.. i’ll pretend that i’m kissing, the cheeks that i’m missing, and hope that my dreams will come true..”

guys beatles lore just breached containment over on twitter. good morning to the wider human population who just learned about the circlejerk and john/paul stuff via john lennon's son being an idiot and everyone genuinely believing paul mccartney fucked his dad. what a world we live in.

i actually genuinely think about Paul and Linda so much

(I know i’m a Mclennon blog but P&L and literally endgame. i’m so obsessed with them they have my whole <3).

and more specifically i think about them having Mary. something about Linda who was already a mother and knew what to expect, what to do, what it was like to have a baby of your own—but she had to show Paul the ropes.

I just have this image of Paul being so in love with Mary the way new parents always are with their first babies: “Is she okay?”, “Can I hold her like this?”, “She’s so tiny”, “Is it okay that she’s crying?”. And Linda just lovingly helping him and probably equally falling in love with just seeing Paul interact with a baby that was his. Watching him step into fatherhood in a new way. Obviously he stepped up for Heather but a 6 year old who is already becoming a person of their own is totally different from a baby, and baby that is specifically yours.

Or better yet: Linda telling Paul she was pregnant at the height of the tension of The Beatles in what I can imagine was one of the most turbulent times in Paul’s life. Paul says so himself that Mary came when he need her most. But I can just imagine the light in his eyes when she tells him, I’m sure it was a breath of fresh air for both of them.

Linda getting a chance to heal her own relationship with parenthood, and Paul getting to be a dad when he needed it most.

I’m so obsessed with them.

My dad tried to convince me that the Beatles were an emo band because “emo is short for emotional, and happiness is an emotion”.

I went to the Eyes of storm exhibit in New York :p

My favorite picture of George was in a slide show so I could take a picture of it but there was a shit ton of other George photos anyways. I think it’s cute that he marked his favorite photos with Xs/checks. Also idk why I didn’t realize that Cynthia came with them on the first America trip

Also I love how obsessed they are with that one photo of George in Miami. They put it on a shirt and I think that really funny
