Tbh I Am Feeling Myself So Let’s Go Things I Love About Being Aroace

Mid-June?, 1972: John talks to Sandra Shevey about having a partner who fulfills both creative and romantic aspirations, and the disorienting experience of working with Yoko for the first time as competitive equals in the recording studio on Some Time In New York City. (Note: @sweating-cobwebs, consider this is my gift to you.)

JOHN: It’s a plus, it’s not a minus. The plus is that your best friend, also, can hold you without… I mean, I’m not a homosexual, or we could have had a homosexual relationship and maybe that would have satisfied it, with working with other male artists. [faltering] An artist – it’s more – it’s much better to be working with another artist of the same energy, and that’s why there’s always been Beatles or Marx Brothers or men, together. Because it’s alright for them to work together or whatever it is. It’s the same except that we sleep together, you know? I mean, not counting love and all the things on the side, just as a working relationship with her, it has all the benefits of working with another male artist and all the joint inspiration, and then we can hold hands too, right?

SHEVEY: But Yoko is a very independent person. Isn’t it— [inaudible]

JOHN: Sure, and so were the men I worked with. The only difference is she’s female.

SHEVEY: But you didn’t find it difficult to make that transition?

JOHN: Oh yeah. I mean, it took me four years. I’m still not – I’m still only coming through it, you know.

Your first and second most recent emojis predict how December will treat you

“The worst pain in the world is shame. I spend a lot of time trying to not do anything bad to anyone, but you can’t live your life and not hurt people. Pretty recently, I did something that I’m really not proud of, and it shocked me. I thought, “I’m a really fucking bad person.” But I realized that something good came out of it because now I have to be a lot less judgmental of others. Everything can make you a more compassionate person if you use it that way.”

I've always wondered about the Key West incident. "We ended up crying – about, you know, how wonderful we were, and how much we loved each other, even though we’d never said anything". Does that we only refer to John and Paul or to the four Beatles ?

Actually, he has changed version quite a few times. But the official one is that it was just him and John, because this story comes from the song “Here Today” (song he wrote for John) and the line “What about the night we cried”:

“WE WERE IN KEY WEST IN 1964. WE WERE DUE TO FLY INTO JACKSONVILLE, IN FLORIDA, AND DO A CONCERT THERE, BUT WE’D BEEN DIVERTED BECAUSE OF A HURRICANE. WE STAYED THERE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO EXCEPT, LIKE, DRINK. I REMEMBER DRINKING WAY TOO MUCH, AND HAVING ONE OF THOSE TALKING-TO-THE-TOILET BOWL EVENINGS. IT WAS DURING THAT NIGHT, WHEN WE’D ALL STAYED UP WAY TOO LATE, AND WE GOT SO PISSED THAT WE ENDED UP CRYING - ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HOW WONDERFUL WE WERE, AND HOW MUCH WE LOVED EACH OTHER, EVEN THOUGH WE’D NEVER SAID ANYTHING. IT WAS A GOOD ONE: YOU NEVER SAY ANYTHING LIKE THAT. ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE A NORTHERN MAN.“

— Paul explaining the line “What about the night we cried?” from Here Today (Source: Guardian Unlimited, 2004)

This is from an interview on Daily Mail:

“THAT WAS IN KEY WEST, WHEN A CONCERT HAD BEEN POSTPONED, BECAUSE OF A HURRICANE IN FLORIDA. AND SO WE HAD TO HIDE OUT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, AND ENDED UP IN THIS LITTLE HOTEL SUITE TOGETHER.‘ONE NIGHT, WE GOT PRETTY DRUNK AND ARGUED AND LAUGHED, AND IT ENDED UP US BOTH CRYING, BECAUSE IT WAS, YOU KNOW AT THE HEIGHT OF YOUR DRUNKENNESS, WHEN YOU’RE ALL, “HEY MAN, I LOVE YOU, MAN. NO, I LOVE YOU, MAN.”’‘THAT WAS PROBABLY THE ONLY TIME WE JUST GOT THAT KIND OF INTIMATE WITH EACH OTHER"

This is from an interview in 2011 with Terry Gross:

MR. MCCARTNEY: I seem to remember we had some time off in Key West, Florida, and it was because there was a hurricane, and we’d been diverted, I think, from Jacksonville.So we had to spend a night or two in Key West, is where we ended up, anyway. And at that age, with that much time on our hands, we really didn’t know what to do with it except get drunk.And so that was what we did. And we stayed up all night talking, talking, talking like it was going out of style. And at some point early in the morning, I think we must have touched on some points that were really emotional, and we ended up crying, which was very unusual for us, because we - members of a band and young guys, we didn’t do that kind of thing. So I always remembered it as a sort of important emotional landmark.GROSS: Do you remember what you were talking about that led to that?MR. MCCARTNEY: Probably our mothers dying, because John and I shared that experience. My mother died when I was about 14, and his died shortly after - about a year or so after, I think. So this was a great bond John and I always had.We both knew the pain of it, and we both knew that we had to put on a brave face because we were sort of teenage guys, and you didn’t talk about that kind of thing where we came from.

Once or maybe twice I’ve heard this story by Paul in which he has randomly added George or Ringo too. But I’m 100% sure it was just him and John. Don’t ask me why he does that, it’s the same “We loved john” story (when Paul has to say he loves John he never says “I” he always adds random people like George Harrison and says “We all loved John”)

He probably doesn’t want the scene to be too intimate, dear god he has a serious problem with showing affection toward John in public.

1966 Press Conference

Q: Why did you subject yourself to a public apology in front of television cameras?

JOHN: If I were at the stage I was five years, I would have shouted we’d never tour again, pack myself off, and that would be the end of it. Lord knows, I don’t need the money. But the record burning, that was a real shock, the physical burning. I couldn’t go away knowing that I’d created another little pocked of hate in the world. Especially with something as uncomplicated as people listening to records, dancing, and enjoying what the Beatles are. Not when I could do something about it. If I said tomorrow I’m not going to play again, I still couldn’t live with somebody hating for something so irrational.

Q: Why don’t you tell your fans all this?

JOHN: But that’s the trouble with being truthful. You try to apply truth talk, although you have to be false sometimes because this whole thing is false in a way, like a game. But you hope that if you’re truthful with somebody, they’ll stop all the plastic reaction and be truthful back and it’ll be worth it. But everybody is playing the game and sometimes I’m left naked and truthful with everybody biting me. It’s disappointing. I can’t express myself very well, that’s my whole trouble. I was just commenting, in my illiterate way of speaking.

infuriating how white women approach feminism when it comes to woc..the way they act like all women are a homogenous group and they will all be liberated in the exact same way…like im begging to understand that so much of white feminism is influenced by a white worldview
