“Then also we were like married, so you got the bitterness. It’s not a woman scorned this time, it’s two men scorned — probably even worse. And I had to make way for Yoko. My relationship with John could not have remained as it was and Yoko feel secure.”

— Paul McCartney, Interview by Duncan Fallowell in the Chicago Tribune, October 14th, 1984

I listened to maxwells silver hammer in full for the first time in a long time and im sorry paul but this is…it is SO SLOW. It moseys along like it has all day and its actually insufferable to me

This is the THIRD track on ABBEY ROAD that follows SOMETHING. can you believe that. If I was Paul I’d be embarrassed that I could never retcon it it’s actually embarrassing. Ik octopuses garden is right there but at least it’s cheery and somewhat endearing

Remembering Tom Smothers 1937-2023

Comedian / actor / musician Tom Smothers of the Smothers Brothers comedy duo has died at 86. Tom and Dick Smothers' musical comedy stylings were perfect for the late 60s. They appeared on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, their own show The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour (CBS 1967-1969), and countless appearances.

George Harrison was one of many musicians who appeared on their show in the late 60s. Their show also showed numerous promotional video clips (later known as music videos) including The Beatles' "Hey Jude". In 1969, Tom joined the Plastic Ono Band to play acoustic guitar and backing vocals on "Give Peace a Chance".

Tom himself appeared in several other films and TV shows including a supporting role in Steven Soderbergh's The Informant!.

how much of paul and george’s relationship being so complex has to do with john? do you think it got harder for them to be friends after john died? i love mcharrison and your thoughts on their dynamic

It's not a secret that Paul pushed George aside to focus on John or that George liked John more than Paul. Still, I think that John was only a factor in their falling out and not the cause. Both of them made decisions that alienated each other from time to time.

The thing is, you would think a traumatic event like John's death would fix them but it didn't. First of all, they tried, we cannot deny that they tried and there is an interview with Paul saying how they promised to be nice with each other after that but it didn't stick.

The most obvious thing was the business side, I think that Paul used to deal mostly with John but once he was gone, he had to deal directly with George in all the matters about the Beatles legacy and you can tell he wasn't used to that. John was unpredictable, but he could be persuaded with the right motivations while George was stubborn and rarely changed of opinion.

Then of course it was a matter of the Beatles reunion. Even without John, people wanted a reunion and expectations switched to George to make it happen and he definitely didn't like that pressure. While Paul was encouraging about a potential reunion and Ringo was a given, George had to dismiss most of Paul's public statements. I think that put another strain on their relationship.

I think Paul and George were also at odds about John's memory. Paul in particular had a lot of mixed feelings about John and took a lot of it on George. He wanted to protect his own legacy while also promoting the Lennon-McCartney brand and that sometimes ended up with unfortunate interviews about how at least he and John were speaking while George and John were fighting. George didn't make a lot of public statements but he put his foot down in business decisions like how to present John's demos which made Paul paranoid. etc.

I had a dream where there was a conspiracy that Ringo killed John in 1980 because he wanted to steal #9 Dream from him

Was anyone going to me that all the Aaron Taylor Johnson clips in marauders edits come from a John Lennon biopic, or was I just supposed to find that out on my own and be shocked by it after two years of saving James potter edits
