i kind of want to go to the beatles story in liverpool this year so if you’ve been let me know if it’s good. I was dragged around it on a school trip 5 years ago but I can’t remember a thing from it.

#my birthday is coming up #I might also go to the British music museum as well #the Beatles #the Beatles story #I had the headphones on and everything I listened to alll of the podcasts they give u while ur walking around but I don’t remember ANYTHING #the only other thing I remember from Liverpool was it has a primark #thanks my poor memory #teenager me had priorities aka crying over bts concert clips

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 beatles #john lennon #paul mccartney #mclennon #idk if im explaining this well but it always gives me whiplash to read how 'beatles historians' elsewhere view them #bc it seems like for all that theyre able to make the simple connection between johns past and trauma to his behavior #as a protective mechanism to shield him from vulnerability #far fewer people make the equally reasonable connection between pauls past #with parents that never said i love you to each other or told their children about a serious illness #and an adult paul who doesnt examine his own feelings much less speak candidly about them #or stories like mike mccartney talking about being beaten by jim while paul yelled at him to just say that he 'didnt do it' so it would sto #and an adult paul who has clearly internalized the basic cause and effect of the things you say and the consequences that come from them #and how the truth is less relevant in those situations than the obvious path of least resistance that will spare you needless pain #idk i have a lot of thoughts and feelings on how people see paul mccartney #i want to shake some of these biographers and be like this mid-20s kid experiencing a level of scrutiny and pressure #the world had never seen before #was not puppeteering everything to meet his vision #he was trying to protect himself and his friends from the very real danger of public perception!!

#I swore I wouldn't do another one of these but here we are #a story of obsession and wanting #his brain is dissipated #and now we know why #‘fuck I’m twenty something’ still makes me giggle #john lennon #paul mccartney #john and paul #mclennon #beatles fanvids #the beatles #javelin’s edit

Here is a quote I think of every time I see these pictures. "The rumor since has been that I edged [Stuart Sutcliffe] out of the band, because we certainly did have our difficulties. For me, it was mainly because I didn't think he was a very good musician, which he wasn't, and he admitted it. So, for me, that caused problems, because being a—I mean, you could say being a perfectionist, but actually asking the bass player to play in the same key as us isn't really looking for perfection. It's quite a mild request." — Sir Paul McCartney, The Lyrics podcast, "Michelle," April 10, 2024.

#remember how we cheered when Paul publicly owned the possibility that John wrote Now & Then to him?#I had similar feelings when I heard him refute the 'perfectionist' trope when talking about Stu #it wasn't that #it's not unreasonable to expect your band mates to have an interest in music #also “a pretty mild request” out of Paul's mouth...#is giving me thoughts and feelings #what I want to do is write a story about old man Paul in some state of cathartic rage #both letting go and reclaiming his memories #I guess I'm getting in the mood #paul mccartney #the beatles #stuart sutcliffe #a mild request

when i look at all the posts about the Beatles, but i was in the fandom 7 years ago and even after all these years i still think that John and George have the most interesting and sensual relationship of the entire group

#the beatles #john lennon #george harrison #like that story when george was madly angry at him and told john to show him his eyes and john was sitting in sunglasses #but he immediately took them off as soon as george asked and put on his usual glasses #but george still didn’t like it so he tore them off himself #and it sounds even crazier from the words of the narrator
