Tbh in terms of discussion/analysis Paul's relationship with John REALLY overshadows every single other relationship in his life, it's like mclennon is the trainwreck we can't look away from even when there are at least two or more other trainwrecks just a few feet away

my apologies for the terrible editing or whatever but Taylor Swift and Paul McCartney are the same people sometimes and I'm going to make that everyone's problem.

I feel like George and Paul are the kind of vibe of two girl best friends where one gets into this intense relationship with a guy who the other girl kinda develops a crush on but is also jealous of pulling her friend's attention away

So whats like the general consensus about Stu and John? Do we think they ever messed around or not?
Ooooh, I won't burn and scar my typing fingers on anything like "general consensus," and my cop-out answer is: depends on who you ask. I mean, if you're living in a world where 'a man being with a woman' = straight, or 'a man who never came out unequivocally as queer' = straight, then John and Stu very much never messed around, and, more importantly, didn't feel the desire to.
But I think if you look at it with an open mind, without being afraid of the possibility, you'll see it's more likely they did than that they didn't.
First, you have John, with his life-long romantic idea of being in love with your creative partner (see: his comments on Yoko and Paul)—an idea that fits Stu seamlessly, and perhaps even started with him. In the Hunter Davies bio, John (in '67) calls Stu Paul's predecessor in the 'my trusted partner in art' role.
There is also this conversation with Stu's girlfriend, Astrid Kircherr, as related by Backbeat director Iain Softley:
Paying tribute to Astrid this week, film director Iain Softley revealed her moving words from his interviews with her when he made 1994 movie Backbeat about her and Stuart’s romance.
They hint at a complex relationship between her, Stuart and John. She said it was only after Stuart died that she and John “took a load of pills” and talked for 12 hours about “all the things on our minds about Stuart”. “‘He was jealous when Klaus and I fancied Stuart more, and took him home and left John out,” she told Iain.
“He told me he really loved Stuart, but was afraid of the feeling.”
Iain adds: “I think she thought he meant as a friend, I don’t think there was any suggestion they were in a relationship. But Stuart had always been John’s best friend, they shared a flat in Liverpool. John would write to Stuart as ‘Jesus Christ to John the Baptist’, in the sense Stuart was showing him the way. He looked up to him.
“There was a sense John didn’t want Stuart taken away from him, he didn’t want Stuart to stay in Hamburg.
“At the same time he was very fond of Astrid, but I think there was a conflict there.”
If John was afraid of the feeling, then I'm thinking he felt something that, at the time, and probably still today, was a scary thing to feel. I'll leave it at that.
Also, they were, what? 18, 19, 20 years old? At that age, odds are you do fool around, even if you regret it afterwards. Nothing wrong with that.
Look at this picture of Stu (r.) with Astrid and Astrid's ex, Klaus Voormann. Klaus, who later said he and Astrid didn't work as a couple because she wanted him to be exactly like her image of him, and whose marriage (to a woman) was a platonic marriage of convenience, according to himself. We have now reached the beautiful stage of come onnn! "Straight" was at the party, but so were many others. These relationships were messy! That's awesome!
And how do we feel about John feeling up Gene Vincent, while Paul and George look on knowingly, and Pete Best blanks out? We feel joyous and unsurprised.
A word about Paul vs. Stu, since we're (sort of) at it.
It's possible (what an understatement) to think of their rivalry as sexual rivalry. This is, once more, hinted at in Backbeat, where Stu is more or less giving away John to Paul.
And yet. I think it was more than that. I think everyone, back then, was fighting for more than a bed-partner. They were fighting for their future, for a life unlike their parents'. Paul was fighting for the band, Stu was fighting for John to join him on his artist's way (even giving 'rock'n'roll' a try), and John..
John was, on the one hand, the person either of the others felt he needed in order to realize his dream. But on the other hand, he was the least decided of the three. He may have perceived that, within the trio, he had the fewest fall-back options: Stu had his obvious, much-mentored artistic talent. Paul had a possible academic future bwxt to his musical talent, plus a clear determination to make it in music. John had talent in spades, but perhaps less of a clear-cut idea of where and how to apply it. So he tried keeping both of them close...?
With fun scenes like these as a result:
John sure is feeling campy/cuddly, while Paul is incandescent with rage. A hot look for both of them.
In the end, we don't know if they ever did fool around. My usual reply in those cases is: I hope they did, if they both wanted it. I hope it was good.
I need to check out this book:
John and Paul look happy.

My attempt at figuring out the lyrics, open to feedback, some parts I am not so sure about.
P: Oh now, Johnny Johnny, oh Johnny Johnny, Oh Johnny Johnny, Johnny Johnny, Johnny Johnny, oh lord, Johnny boy.
How we gonna tell ‘em? Why don’t we go and keep on home?
Well, well, John, oh my boy.
Why don’t we go and tell 'em what we’re after? Johnny, ooooh Johnny Johnny boy, tell them, the message of ours.
Oh, Johnny, well, you got me, will you be my boy? Hey, take it, John. Ha!
J: Oh little boy, packing my shoes, as if I’m not gonna lose you.
That’s right, hon. I’m gonna see my sister soon.
She don’t wanna see me, I don’t know really what I’m gonna do. I don’t know what I’m gonna do. Well!
P: Well, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny
When I call you Johnny boy
Well Johnny John, oooh Johnny, when I’m calling you
Well, I don’t know what I’m gonna tell 'em. That’s why I’m asking my best boy.
Will you tell me, will you tell me?
J: Well I’ll tell the fellas that I’d travel with you
Oh when you pull I shouldn’t be back, be back this time. I don’t know if that’s good.
P: I don’t know what I’m gonna do when I tell my father ya want me, Johnny.
J: I love you, Paul! Aaaaahh
P: You think you’d better leave, you think you follow me.
Aaah Ah, we better leave right now.
I’m gonna leave.
Take the next bus out of town, it won’t let nobody down.
Both: Well, we’re gonna leave together, get out of town, leave together.
P: Won’t let you down. Well I don’t, well I don’t. Oh, oh, oh, oh, John John John John John John John John John John John John, oh
(J: I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, know, know, know, know)
P: Well, I’ll just survive. Turn your head from, somebody else’s kiss.
J: I’m gonna leave, I’m leaving with you. Yeah, someday someday someday someday
P: Well, I’ll tell ya (J: Yeeaaaaah)
P: Well, I’ll tell ya, you’re all I want, you’re all I want, you’re all I want
Let’s go get out of town. Aaah, oooooh, oh, we gotta move far, far away from this old town.

Ok so what do we think about the fact that in John’s song "(just like) starting over" he might be referencing to Paul three times just in one verse
“it’s time to spread out WINGS and fly, don’t let ANOTHER DAY go by, MY LOVE, it will be just like starting over"
Is he hinting at something?

Chronological(ish) McLennon Playlist: Act III is a masterpiece
I mean...
The songs aren't always in chronological order, but so what? This order hits me much more emotionally than if they were in the typical one.
Pay special attention to the order of the songs from 1971.
I get the impression that McCartney was particularly attacking and very in-your-face: "I have a REAL family now, I don't need you, John," and Lennon responded more gently and remorsefully.
E.g.:
Dear Boy: You underestimated me, so fuck off.
Gimme Some Truth: Hey, look, that's the song you helped me write when we were still in love, remember?
or:
Monkberry Moon Delight: Paul screaming and being energetic
Oh My Love: John being subtle and melancholic
If we set up the dialogue this way, we get a different interpretation from the mainstream one, in which John is the aggressive one and Paul is the polite one.
Anyway, I really like this playlist idea. When we arrange John and Paul's 70s albums so that they intertwine, we see that Lennon and McCartney TALKED to each other.
ALSO:
The idea that "The Back Seat of My Car" may have a reference to John, blew my mind. Paul and Linda want to have sex, and John (portrayed here as a grumpy adult) disapproves. It makes so much sense. Because that's how it really was.
@fireintheimpala thank you!

My bathroom curtain is The Beatles themed. Yes it is the Beatles. (I can post it later if you want) and it’s so fucking funny.
My parents and I have had it for approximately 7 years? And the reactions usually go:
1-That’s nice!
2-No reaction at all.
3-why do you have that?
4-okay.
5- “Mclennon” it’s a word used to describe the friendly lovely SUPER stable friendship John Lennon had with Paul McCartney, that never, absolutely never, reached levels of homoeroticness.
