I’ve recently logged back onto this account after abandoning it and found my old posts about mclennon lol. Can’t believe it’s been 4 years! I truly wonder if we’ll ever get to see if this is true because she’s still alive lol.
I remember when I first saw this there were comments, saying it’s Paul and John but now there’s no comments? Or is it just not showing up for me?
Has anyone seen/known this or know about Crazy Days & Nights?
It’ll be an interesting time if the day ever comes where she’s no longer here but Paul still is. Whether or not we see it all depends on who passes first…
I have a feeling that beneath the little halo on your noble head There lies a thought or two the devil might be interested to know You're like the finish of a novel that I'll finally have to take to bed You fascinate me so

Ian Leslie's favorite songs that remind him of John + Paul ❤️❤️❤️
He has Jealous Guy and (Just Like) Starting Over on the list! That is huge! Those songs are both very important to the McLennon story. This is amazing. According to Paul, John told him that he wrote Jealous Guy because of the way he had treated Paul. It was a song of love, asking for forgiveness. (Just Like) Starting Over is also for Paul from John. As far as I know Paul has never talked about this, but his old Wings bandmate, Denny Laine, said that after John died, Paul locked himself in his studio, bawling and playing that song over and over. It obviously means a great deal to him.
One very important song that's missing is the collaboration between Paul and Carl Perkins, My Old Friend. The lyrics came to Carl, almost out of nowhere, and they reminded Paul so much of John that he started crying and excused himself. Carl felt bad but Linda reassured him that Paul finding an outlet for his emotions was exactly what he needed.
(Hopefully I didn't get any facts wrong. I'm having trouble finding everything I'm looking for tonight, to double check.)
Genius 💯
i do hate when mclennon fics that aren't aus devalue the importance of the music and make all the tension between them romantic/sexual like are we forgetting that their biggest insecurities are directly tied to each other it's not all he loves me he loves me not it's i hate my voice bc i have to sing next to vocal virtuoso mccartney every day and im scared my art wont be taken seriously bc mr in his own write is the smart beatle and im just cute and my god ESPECIALLY the get back era where john strung out and is farting out shit like dig a pony while paul seems to have a constantly flowing creative wellspring for songs which makes john even more insecure and retreats further except the songs in question all have a thesis statement of please dont leave me please dont leave me please dont leave me
Just thinking about how Anathema never seems to connect all the crazy events--kraken, Atlantis, flying saucers, missing nuclear reactors--to everything she said to Adam and the magazines she gave him. She was so focused on finding an evil kid with a massive, terrifying beast of an animal that she overlooked other obvious signs that Adam was controlling reality.
of course crowley invited aziraphale to the baftas, we just didn't notice
“Over the years, whenever Paul has been asked to talk about John, he usually ends up saying that John was a lovely guy. Well I’ve seen John be funny, I’ve seen him be witty, I’ve seen him be sarcastic, but I’ve never really seen him be lovely.
