just gonna leave this here…
edit: it’s so funny to me that Paul doesn’t allude to anything queer in his account of Parisian Beatlemania (he even uses these stereotypical old man voices to impersonate the fans) (bc he’s just *that* deep in the closet) yet George will immediately be like “yeah there were a bunch of gay boys clamoring at our door”

"I had [John] down as a coffee-boy layabout, as I used to call him, and thought he was rather arrogant. But when I got to know him – it's quite tragic really. I had an unhappy childhood, too, so there was a bit of an understanding there, although we never talked about it. I remember Stuart Sutcliffe saying that he once saw John at the top of the stairs at art school, crying on his own. That, to me, was the real John, but on stage, of course, he was arrogant."
Allan Williams, (link to article)

Audio
This is an enhanced version of the song that John and Paul recorded around 1960. As many know, the song features lyrics about John and Paul wanting to run away together and finally being with each other. The audio is still pretty low quality, but you can still hear such important phrases as ‘’What are we going to keep on holding?’’ and the famous ‘’I love you’’ lines.

John and Paul during the recording of I’ll Follow The Sun in 1964.
J: I’m playing, baby! Don’t stop me now.
P: Oh, no…
J: I’m not looking at you, am I?
P: You WERE! I know!
J: Well… I can laugh.
P: I know I can’t stop laughing when you’ve got tears(?) in your eyes.
J: Well, I’m laughing over here.
P: I know, but I can see __(?) and everything.

Your top 5 favorite Mclennon quotes?
Hi Anon, thank you for asking!
The following aren't quotes I'd construct into any kind of 'proof' (whether I'm into this or not is another set of footnotes, which I'll spare you), but quotes that illustrate that John and Paul's relationship was fascinating and intense, and puzzling to themselves and others (incl. yours truly).
1.) “Meeting Paul was just like two people meeting. Not falling in love or anything. Just us. It went on. It worked.” — John Lennon - The Beatles by Hunter Davies
2.) “Lennon had attitude, and, taking his lead from Lennon, McCartney could be similar. At times, they reminded me of those well-to-do Chicago lads Leopold and Loeb, who killed someone because they felt superior to him. Lennon and McCartney were ‘superior human beings’.” — Bob Wooler in Mark Lewisohn’s Tune In
3.) “John and Paul paired off - only to find themselves stuck together for life. For John, Paul was the boy who came to stay; for Paul, John was the song he couldn’t make better” — Rob Sheffield, Dreaming The Beatles
4.) TELL ME WHO HE IS. Early song by Paul McCartney, included in The Lyrics (2021). Written in the late 50’s/early 60’s, according to the caption. (photo of journal page)
Tell me who he is
Tell me that you’re mine not his
He says he loves you more than I do
Tell me who he is
Tell him where to go
Tell him that I love you so
He couldn’t love you more than I do
Tell me who he is
5.) John Lennon's word association list from 1976
New York: great
Elvis: fat
Ringo: friend
Yoko: love
Howard Cosell: hum
George: lost
Bootlegs: good
Elton: nice
Paul: extraordinary
Bowie: thin
MBE: shit
John: great
BONUS TRACK:
“I had signs that the group was gonna break up, because… I mean, I think really what it was, really all that happened was that John fell in love. With Yoko. And so, with such a powerful alliance like that, it was difficult for him to still be seeing me. It was as if I was another girlfriend, almost. Our relationship was a strong relationship. And if he was to start a new relationship, he had to put this other one away."— Paul McCartney (1985), link to interview here
PLAY IT BACKWARDS:
"LONDON (AP) — John Lennon wrote vitriolic comments about fellow-Beatle Paul McCartney in a picture biography of the famed pop group, providing new evidence of the tensions between them, the Observer newspaper said Sunday. [...]
"Lennon marked almost every one of the 76 pages with corrections and comments, including one that the Observer took as an indication the group already was experimenting with drugs in the 1960s. [...]
"In an entry noting McCartney’s marriage to Linda Eastman, Lennon crossed out “wedding” and wrote “funeral”, the Observer said. [...]
"But in a final tender moment, the Observer said, Lennon wrote under a photo of himself with McCartney: “The minutes are crumbling away.” (full article.)

"I understood what happened when he met Yoko. He had to clear the decks of his old emotions. He went through all his old affairs, confessed them all. Me and Linda did that when we first met. You prove how much you love someone by confessing all that old stuff. John's method was to slag me off."
