ive also come to the conclusion that "laziness" is probably the stupidest, most hurtful, least useful, deliberately cruel concept in the world
It is crazy that sm of post 1966 Beatles is Paul being like guys, let’s get so weird with it. How about a movie where there is no plot. It’ll just be weird as fuck. And really gay. There are wizards and animals. Or hmm what about an album with um like a theme. Maybe we won’t even be us anymore? Or we do one like an opera. (Can rock albums have reprises?) I’m writing a song about a serial killer. It will take days to perfect and you’re all invited. by force
George is meanwhile like idk I wrote some stuff about my life and experiences… is that crazy or can it also exist beside the ragtime and Western gunslinger ballads and free-verse beat triptychs
Ringo is like fuck it I quit the band all this artsy gay shit is sickening……nah I’m just kiddin, hehe. I’m into it :) but I will be drinking
And John is like you guys I have written several songs about hating myself and my life. No I will not challenge Paul on the weird shit because 1) well just look at him and 2) I have actually always wanted to be really weird in front of people. In fact I’m having a listening party for some porn I recorded and you are all invited. by force
I love when my mutuals are reading a monkees biography and they post the most evil unhinged quotes. You’ll be scrolling and randomly see shit like “Mike saw Peter crying and decided the torture was still not complete…. He then told his bandmate that no one would ever love him and began firing blanks at his feet…..” or “Davy Jones and Peter got into a knife fight after Davy discovered that Peter was cheating on him with his longtime secret lover, Stephen Stills of The Buffalo Springfield” or “The producers locked the band in a meat locker with a bag of cocaine, four naked women, some black light posters, and instructed them not to leave for the next seventy two hours.”
Bc once your age hits a 'serious' number, you start to think - "damn, I should probably stop geeking and get more serious." But then you scroll and see a 34y/o woman writing fics after driving her kids to school, a 40y/o dude making fanart of his fav super heroes and you realize - "nah, I'm actually good"
i seem to find pisces aquarius capricorn & jones in the wild a lot and every time i do i have to stop myself from obtaining another copy like i have THREE please don’t look at the adorable picture of micky on the back or you will feel bad and want to take another copy home… dont. turn. it. over.
I don't feel like adding this onto someone else's post, but:
Sometimes I think about how Freddie actually did use the band for Mr. Bad Guy, but just hired other musicians to sound like them for the final cut of those songs, and this upset Brian for decades, if a post on his old Soapbox blog is anything to go by
the funniest part of the monkees has got to be davy's completely inaccurate tambourine playing. that thing is just going absolutely WHEREVER it wants
When I say “I love this artist” I either know 5 of their songs that I play on repeat or I know their entire discography and you just have to guess which one it is
[AFTER REVEALING VERY TELLING PERSONAL INFO] But don’t read into that. let’s move along
