Crying At This

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.

At one point during the party John sidled up to me and said, “Love your eye makeup, honey!” [Seaman was wearing eyeliner and mascara] Meanwhile, Peter Boyle, who was taking photos, told Marnie Hair he would pay her ten dollars if she would kiss John. “Here’s a picture that’s worth a lot more,” John said. He then kissed me on the mouth.

LENNON: But the so-called thing of the Beatles was the fact that we were pretty well educated and not truckers. Paul could have gone to university. He was always a good boy.
