He literally said I’m trade
I have still never recovered from how efficiently aidan quinn suspends your disbelief in the opening scene two of us. at first you’re like idk he doesn’t really look or sound at all like paul but then he pulls out the little facial mannerisms and suddenly you’d recognize that man anywhere
Welcome to the McLennon Multiverse
I am NOT okay :))))
Happy two of us Tuesday to the sweaty drunk sex these two had 60 years ago today..
Everyone make sure to read oh, what a night! in their honour :)
don’t blame me, blame my environment
sorry but i’m just too shy to draw dicks..so here they are in the underwear. Paul is “the man” this time.

such a small syntax thing but paul writing ‘john and i and yoko’ in this bit of the lyrics is soooo telling and crazy. even though grammatically it should be ‘john and yoko and i’ he still can’t bear to separate himself and john/give yoko credit before himself/see john and yoko as an entity. he’s literally putting himself in between the two of them, whether consciously or not.
Ughhhh this has so many flaws but here you go! This song ruined my life 😀
And here are the still versions :(((
I love how the director of let it be watched John and Paul interact and was like "I NEED to make a film with you two making out in an elevator."
And he did
tumblr is great because no matter how many followers i get it doesn't stop me from being really fucking annoying. other places i will perhaps think before i post. Not here. not here
i dont think ill ever experience anything as profoundly humiliating as finding john lennon attractive. i can never mention it to anyone irl because they would rip me to shreds for it. and they would be right in doing so.
so have we all listened to this yet 🫠

John: Uh, this is John Lennon talking to you from the heart of the West Side of New York in an interview exclusive — full interview — with brand new New Yorker Sean Ono Lennon, spelled S-E-A-N. Okay? Now tell me Sean, what’s your first impression of New York? Sean: [Baby noises] John: I see.
An interview John did with his son, Sean, circa 1976. The Lennon family had just gained permanent residency in New York. Sean had been born October of the year prior. I apologize for the background music - I didn’t add that. My favorite quotes/partial transcript:
John: I was wondering if the fiscal crisis of New York had any —
Sean: [Baby noises]
John: Uh-huh, that’s the one I was talking about, yes.
Sean: [Baby noises]
John: Exactly!
[…]
John: I see you know which subjects to avoid and which not to. Very sensible. Must be running for office, is that what it is?
Sean: [Baby noises]
John: It is exciting, isn’t it? And such a strain on the - on the old ticker. [Laughs]
[…]
John: Oh, he’s smiling, folks.
John: [Very softly] Perhaps you’d like to tell me your favorite color?
Sean: [Baby noises]
John: That’s not good enough, I’m afraid.
Sean: [Baby noises]
John: [Normal voice] No interesting color.
[…]
John: Will you be doing any concerts while you’re staying - while you’re here?
Sean: [Baby noises]
John: Yes, I thought so. You haven’t got the group together. I understand completely.
Sean: [Baby noises]
John: Uh, I heard you were backstage at the [Bob] Dylan concert, or was that just a rumor?
Sean: [Baby noises]
John: An outright lie? My goodness.
[…]
John: I was wondering what it’s like being the son of such astoundingly famous, beautiful, and talented parents as John and Yoko? I wonder what it’s like…
Sean: [Baby noises]
John: Oh, I see. I mean, could you - could you give me —
Sean: [Slight cry]
John: Ah, mhmm, yes - more full… background into that?
Sean: [Baby noises]
John: I see you’re very fascinated by this - this black box that I’m interviewing you with - this tape recorder. In fact, it seems to inhibit you a little bit. I mean, are you conscious - or self-conscious about the tape recorder?
Sean: [Baby noises]
John: Well, he’s turned his head away because he got very paranoid [laugh]. It’s alright, you know. Just think of it as a very dark relative.
[…]
John: Elton! What about Elton [John]? He’s your godfather!
Sean: [Fussy baby noises]
John: Do you want to tell me how it is to have such a famous godfather?
Sean: [Begins to cry]
John: Well, I know you haven’t been able to see him yet. That’s because he can’t come into the country until January!
Sean: [Continues to cry]
John: Well, let’s just get him on the phone. Get his ass over here.
Sean: [Fussy baby noises]
John: Well, I think at that point we’ve left the interviewee because he obviously was getting violent at the thought of not seeing Dean Martin and all those people in their prime, as it were.

“Someone’s knocking at the door…”
“We decided to find a permanent home in New York in May 1974. My cramped studio on East 89th was fine for a pit stop, but it wasn’t going to work for the long term. While John was working on Pussy Cats, Eddie Germane, general manager of Record Plant Studios, told us there was an apartment available in his building.
The address was 434 East 52nd Street. The apartment we looked at was called the Penthouse Tower B. When we opened the front door, we were greeted by a steep staircase that led up to a rooftop apartment.
[…]
We brought in a platform king-size bed and the largest-screen TV available in those days: a twenty-seven-inch Sony Trinitron. Our bed became “Lennon Central”- with the cable box, telephone, and sound system all within reach. John dreamed his hit song “#9 Dream” in this bed.”
