Glasses, John!

crying at this

john lennon yelling "i need him" is sooo 😵‍💫😵‍💫 idk maybe my ears are broken bc i've never seen anyone talk about this. do people just not hear it or are we ignoring it because he had done much gayer stuff?

nothing worse than a picture of a band member taken by another band member

you can tell paul had it from the very beginning. he was on the ed sullivan show about to perform in front of millions of americans for the first time. the others still seemed reserved but paul mccartney came out fucking bouncing bobbing his jelly round head long anime girl legs giving disney knees before either of those concepts were a thing singing oh yeah i'll tell you something. and he did. without care. through grainy static filled screens he captured the souls of thousands of women so fast that 60 years later i am typing this on tumblr. just raw star power.

John told me that he and [Pete] Shotton had lost their virginity around the same time, a fact that John had felt compelled to share with Julian. “It’s good for Julian to know I was a virgin once, too!” said John earnestly. “I don’t want him to think of me as just some weird, mythical dad.” John said he was curious if Julian was still a virgin, but that he could not bring himself to ask his son such an intimate question. “Maybe he’s still trying to figure out his sexual identity and he’ll be offended if he turns out to be gay and thinks I disapprove,” he said. I assured John that based on the time I had spent with Julian in Palm Beach the previous year, I could attest to the fact that his son had a healthy interest in the opposite sex. John remained unconvinced. “Time will tell,” he said.
