JOHN PULLED THE “no actually we’re just good friends” 😭😭😭😭😭 madness.
there's no escape ☆
Honestly, forget about India. I need to know in detail what occurred on that New York trip if we’re getting headlines from 1968 magazines like this:
Stevie Nicks during the Mirage Tour, 1982.
(about the song 'yesterday')
Q: "Apart from being the runner-up in the 'most performed' section, I think that must have been the most recorded number last year... must've been about 400 versions of it. You must have heard some of them. Is there any one that you think is a standout performance?"
JOHN: "Uhh, one by a young fellow called Paul McCartney had a sort of plaintive approach."
PAUL: (laughs)
Q: "A naive charm."

Waiting for John to get back so they can carry on recording Think For Yourself. Begins with George Martin explaining a ‘booboo’ he made on the tapes.
George Martin: *explains* George Harrison: Ah, naughty. John? Paul: John love? George Martin: Jonathan, what are you doing? Someone: He’s just - where - is he messing behind the - I’ll get him.
Paul considers "I saw her standing there" one of the best song he has ever written in his book "the lyrics" from 2021.
I think John thought the same? Because he sung this with Elton in 1974 telling the world it is a song from "his enstranged fiance Paul". John thought it would be funny to sing it and wondered how Paul would react about it in 1974.
Maybe the song has significance to the both of them? It's the first song on their first official album "Please, Please, Please" from 1963.
The first draft from Paul was genderneutral? IT COULD BE ABOUT JOHN. "You're just seventeen." Which is when Paul met him in 1957.
"You are beyond compare", remember Paul saying everyone else just faded into background at the Fete when The Quarrymen was performing? You act like a queen would fit John too.
Update: Added Toot and Snore Session from March 1974 his only known jamming session with Paul post The Beatles break up where John said "When I saw me standing there, and I said gee is that me?"
