What Opportunities Did We Allow To Flow By, Feeling Like The Timing Wasn't Quite Right?

Cavendish, 20 June 1967.

Drop everything, new John & Paul photo from 1974 just dropped!

John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Linda McCartney, May Pang and Harry Nilsson in LA, 29th March 1974. Photo taken by Mal Evans.

For Mal, the sunny afternoon of March 29 would bring pure magic in contrast with the previous evening’s lackluster proceedings. The McCartney clan showed up [at the Santa Monica beach house] out of the blue, this time with daughters Heather, Mary, and Stella in tow, and Mal was thrilled at the prospect of seeing John and Paul together again—twice in the span of two days, no less. And he was by no means disappointed, observing the two old friends reclining on the patio together and, later, walking along the beach, with May, Linda, and the McCartney brood trailing along behind them. “Nice to see him and John together,” Mal scribbled in his diary later that month.

At one point that afternoon, Evans reached for his camera and snapped a photo of the two old friends lounging at the beach house — flanked by their partners, Linda and May Pang, and Harry Nilsson. May would also take some Polaroids of the meeting at some point this day, but there's a very real possibility that Evans' picture is the last photo ever taken of the 20th Century's greatest songwriting duo. (It will be included in the upcoming collection of Evans' diaries and archives, slated for publication in 2024.)

Sorry John, but George's looks and smiles are for his favorite Paulie.

Hey! I was wondering if there is actually any evidence for Paul Mc. actually really liking Two of Us -- everything I found was an Aidan Quinn interview in which he mentioned he met Paul and asked him if he liked it and he said yes. It's just that the way everyone says it, it makes it seem like he loved it, when in reality maybe he was just being nice? Is it a meme I am not aware of? Help.

Hi! :) The answer is yes, Paul does genuinely like Two of Us (2000)! I think he's been asked about it in a few interviews but the one I specifically remember was on the Adam Buxton podcast in 2020 (it's episode 144 around the 50 minute mark if you want to listen to it yourself). Here's what Paul said:

I did see [Two of Us] actually, yeah. And what was OK about that was that at the beginning of the film it said, you know, 'John and Paul met on such and such a date in New York and this is us imagining what might have happened.' It's pure fiction. They did it like a disclaimer at the front. So I thought, well, that's OK. 'Cause I can get into this. And I mean, I must say, I enjoyed it. I thought, 'I wish that had happened.' [Laughs] It didn't happen quite like that.

So yeah, basically Paul is an RPF understander and enjoyer. An open-minded king!
