Rip 1971 John Lennon, You Would Have Loved You Oughta Know By Alanis Morrisette

well i'll be damned here comes your ghost again but that's not unusual it's just that the moon is full and you happened to call...

you know that random book where john crossed out 'wedding' and wrote 'funeral' under a picture of paul and linda? but he also wrote "the minutes are crumbling away" under a pic of him and paul during an apple press conference in ny? that picture was taken literally minutes before linda gave him her number backstage and we all know how thata ended (linda went with them to the airport; john and yoko made their relationship official two days after they landed) lol

you can see the picture here: https://www.tumblr.com/ljblueteak/189314046655/associated-press-lennons-resentment-of-mccartney?source=share

aaaaand a video of the conference (plus linda's comments): https://www.the-paulmccartney-project.com/interview/nyc-press-conference-announcing-apple/

Quote compilations

Because I cope with my Beatles feelings by collecting and organizing quotes in a big ass spreadsheet and I may as well post them here divided up by topic:

The breakup

Quotes from each member divided by year, showing it was never so cut and dry that Paul always wanted to stay in the Beatles and John/George always wanted out

John Lennon’s sexuality

Internalized homophobia, intentionally spreading rumours about being gay + people thinking he was joking (John Lennon invented queerbaiting in 1963 did you know?), revealing comments from John and others about his sexuality, replacing Paul with Yoko, jealousy over Paul, flirting with Paul

Quotes about the Lennon-Mccartney rivalry & John's insecurity

The ramifications of Yesterday, a fear of abandonment, ego death, and having a relentlessly productive, competitive soulmate

John not meaning what he says

"Yeah, I was lying" [laughs]

Paul hurting John

The extent to and ways in which John claimed Paul hurt him and Paul's struggle to understand wtf happened

Paul wrangling John

Paul understands the importance of public relations and affectionately straightening ties

Beatles defending each other

Only Beatles can talk shit about Beatles

Paul trying and sometimes failing to be chill about Yoko

WHO KNOWS, YOKO?

Just insane mclennon things

Shit where you're like "I can't believe that actually happened??" Often not in a good way

shoutout to that time paul simon and john lennon hosted the grammys
