It's so sweet the way the look each other and the animation is so fluid

I want a beatles mini series redrawed

Those boys who are wearing their hair long are saying no to the masculine mystique. They are saying no to that brutal, sadistic, tight-lipped, crew-cut, you know, Prussian… big-muscle, you know, Ernest Hemingway… kill bears when there are no bears to kill and napalm all the children in Vietnam and Cambodia to prove that I’m a man, you know and be dominant and superior to everyone concerned and never show any softness. Well, these boys that are wearing their hair long are saying, ‘No… I don’t have to be all that crew-cut and tight-lipped, I don’t have to be dominant and superior to anyone, I don’t have to have big muscles because there aren’t any bears to kill. I don’t have to, you know, kill anybody to prove anything. I can be tender, and I can be sensitive, and I can be compassionate… and I can admit sometimes that I’m afraid, and I can even cry, and I am a man… and I am my own man’. And that man, who is strong enough to be gentle… that is a new man.

Never Forget

Fun Movie Facts: In this scene, George winks at a woman who Ringo had been interested in, subtly foreshadowing the fact that he is going to sleep with Ringo's wife.

“I dream about him.”

Made my favourite scene from Help! (1965) into a print. The original pencil drawing was done during lockdown and I must have been thinking that particular luxury midcentury surrealistic loft would not be too bad to be stuck in.

Get a copy!

Can we talk about Your School?

Recorded in 1984, never released (except a clip on Oobu Joobu)

We're gonna talk it out someday All that is nearest and dearest I want it, you want it, they want it too And me? I want to love you Come on baby ... what have you've got Tell me that I learned a lot in your school, your school... I never thought [it meant/I'd learn] so much I'm just a poor fool in love, your school... I never felt the gentle touch until ..... I met you Oohhh you better tell me all you know Concerning this situation oohhoohooh I'd like, you'd like it, they always do... Me? I still wanna love you

I can't help but interpret this as Paul desperately wishing for a really deep and public reconciliation with John.

Two lyrics it puts me in mind of:

I never give you my number I only give you my situation And in the middle of investigation I break down

You Never Give Me Your Money

and

You must have learned something in all those years

How Do You Sleep
