Happy B-Day, George!

Paul McCartney listening to his transistor radio in New York, 9th February 1964

What did Mimi think of Paul?

This is from an interview in 1970

How did you view the troubles the Beatles have been going through these last few years?

I don’t know all this business between John and Paul is about and I don’t dare ask John. I did ring Paul about it, and he told me things would straighten up. The boys have been friends so long. I remember them coming home from school together on their bikes, begging biscuits. I’m sure they’ll get back together soon. This is just a phase they’re passing through.

 What do you think changed John so much from his early days as a carefree kid?

She’s responsible for all this, Yoko. She changed him, and I’m sure she and Linda are behind the split between John and Paul.

In the book “Paul McCartney: the biography” there’s a page in which Mimi talks about the first time she saw Paul:

“John was insecure, and when he saw Paul he wanted to look cool. He was suddenly hooked. He gave up all his friends for Paul. Aunt Mimi recalled that John jumped around the kitchen when he told her about his new friend. And when Paul arrived at John’s home for the first time, Mimi sarcastically said to John that they were like ‘chalk and cheese’ meaning how different they were. And John would start hurling himself around the room shouting ‘Chalk and Cheese! Chalk and cheese’ smiling and laughing. He was fucking in love with him, he adored him. She understood he found the partner of his life.“

"McCartney realised he was sitting at his father's old piano, which he used to compose tracks for Memory Almost Full, as Sgt. Pepper took off. And his piano stool was extra special too. He says, "It's a little stool that my kids gave me, which was John's stool. They found it at an auction. I've got it sitting in front of my dad's old piano."

so nobody’s gonna talk about how when john and yoko had an explosive fight in the early 70s about if he was still allowed to act like a beatle sometimes or not (john arguing that he had to, especially if he wanted to play with the others!! and yoko arguing that it wasn’t artistic enough) and it was so emotional that he crushed his glasses and then chose to run away and where did he run to?? PARIS FRANCE!!!!! john lennon missed being a beatle and wanted to play with his beatles again, was even looking forward to playing with paul, and yoko wouldn’t let him, so he went to paris. PARIS. in this essay i will

Drew this from a scene in Writing Letters (On My Wall) by @glowing-gold if you want to know what happens next i guess you'll have to read it! (don't worry it's great)

“Alright, then. Your turn.” “Hmm?” “You owe me. Paint me a picture. Something to get me through the rest of my dreary day.” Paul felt his stomach swoop. “Well… I’m not cooking.” “I don’t want to hear about bloody food , Paul. What are you doing, right now? Where exactly are you sitting?” Paul felt his skin prickle with heat.  “Well...” Paul started, not sure how far to take this. “I’m sitting in the kitchen.”

can you draw alex and damon?

!!

Three camera angle set-up of John singing “and if somebody love me like she does” while looking at Paul because why not?

I was a George girl in the past and I really know he loved Paulie, what happened in the late 60s we will never know. I don't believe in all the propaganda and the fantasies Beatles' biographers says.

The love was there and they were not just like brothers and never enemies.

But he fades out after “one…two” because THERE’S TWO OF THEM LEFT
