cool britannia and it’s liam gallagher with the covers pulled up to his armpits like the wife in a pg-13 movie

Mid-June?, 1972: John talks to Sandra Shevey about having a partner who fulfills both creative and romantic aspirations, and the disorienting experience of working with Yoko for the first time as competitive equals in the recording studio on Some Time In New York City. (Note: @sweating-cobwebs, consider this is my gift to you.)

JOHN: It’s a plus, it’s not a minus. The plus is that your best friend, also, can hold you without… I mean, I’m not a homosexual, or we could have had a homosexual relationship and maybe that would have satisfied it, with working with other male artists. [faltering] An artist – it’s more – it’s much better to be working with another artist of the same energy, and that’s why there’s always been Beatles or Marx Brothers or men, together. Because it’s alright for them to work together or whatever it is. It’s the same except that we sleep together, you know? I mean, not counting love and all the things on the side, just as a working relationship with her, it has all the benefits of working with another male artist and all the joint inspiration, and then we can hold hands too, right?

SHEVEY: But Yoko is a very independent person. Isn’t it— [inaudible]

JOHN: Sure, and so were the men I worked with. The only difference is she’s female.

SHEVEY: But you didn’t find it difficult to make that transition?

JOHN: Oh yeah. I mean, it took me four years. I’m still not – I’m still only coming through it, you know.

Paul McCartney is asked about his favourite Lennon composition (18 November 2020).

BUXTON: Speaking of John, I have a question from Louis Theroux.

PAUL: Alright!

BUXTON: And he wants to know what your favourite Lennon song was, from the Beatles era.

PAUL: From the Beatles era, there’s a few. You know, they always ask you, “What’s your favourite song?” But there’s a few. “Strawberry Fields Forever” I loved. “Across The Universe” I loved. “Julia”, which is about the mum he couldn’t live with. So I loved the poignancy of that. ‘Cus I’d been with him, ‘round to Julia’s house to visit her. And I could— I knew how deeply he loved her. So, “Julia” I’d go with. And then later, from his post-Beatles work, “Beautiful Boy”, about Sean, was I think a really great song.

BUXTON: Yes, with the “Life is what happens to you / While you’re busy making other plans” line.

PAUL: You know, the boy’s no slouch! I mean, now I can look back on it and think, “God, what a lovely guy! How privileged was I to run into him, in Liverpool?” And I think we both felt the same about each other. Just a really quite chance meeting. It was through a mate of mine that I met John, but it was by chance, there was no set up. We didn’t go to the same school, but I went to the same school as the guy who introduced us. So, you know, thinking back on it, I do think, “Oh god, we were very lucky.” I was thinking the other day, actually— I thought, “I wish I just sat and hugged him, all the time we were together.” But as you know, Adam, that would probably be slightly out of line. But it’s the kind of thing you think, you know, “What about that?” But guys didn’t do that kind of thing where I’m from.

BUXTON: Yeah, maybe that’s what alcohol’s for, though.

PAUL: [Laughs] What, hugging a lot?

BUXTON: Yeah, enabling you to hug and be hugged.

PAUL: Yeah, well, I know what you mean…

BUXTON: It shouldn’t just be alcohol.

PAUL: I know what you mean. You know, what happens in later years, now looking back on it all, you just think of little things. You think, “Oh, that’s why that happened!” Or whatever. Or you may just think, “Oh, just sit around and hug him forever.” ‘Cus that’s the depth of my feeling, for him. 

after several discussions that left me baffled, let me throw this out to the masses: do you look at ao3's icons when you're looking for a fic to read?

the funny thing about imagine (the album) is that jealous guy comes before how do you sleep

making posts about how beer tastes bad is a lot like that painting of a jester harassing a bunch of dogs while leaning over a wall, except the jester is below the dogs and trying so hard to reach them, and all the dogs are extremely beautiful and strong, and have a wonderful community built on love, and they never want for anything. they never want for anything.

Imagine if your outie ate an edible in the parking lot before work and you just slowly got higher and higher while sorting numbers by emotion and never having heard of the concept of recreational drugs.

nothing more sobering than realizing you'd been assuming a cover of a song was the original...like oh phew if the wrong person found out about that i couldve been killed
