Can We Make The Connection Between

Ok, we’re used to the eye f*cking on stage, but this is on a whole new level.

Wish they had kept this in the video.

““I know for a fact Paul returned to Liverpool a few nights after this a few nights before the vigils for John in New York & Liverpool & was driven around by Taxi at around 2 in the morning to all the landmarks the city that were special to him & John. I know this to be true because my granddad was the driver. Paul told him he didnt want anyone from the tabloids following him so he took the taxi. He went to a place particularly special to him & John & buried something before returning to the taxi & breaking down. He actually told my granddad how bad he felt about the “it’s a drag” comment but he had flash bulbs, autograph hunters etc in his face & he was too Ill to be interviewed & my granddad reassured him that the people of Liverpool were pissed off at the media for cornering him & not for the “it’s a drag comment” adding that John would have understood. He also told my granddad that his hair had turned gray over the course of a few hours after being told & he was expecting to be ridiculed in the papers for it. My granddad dropped him off at a location, he went inside & got a huge hamper & gave it to my granddad & gave him £200 & wished him a merry Christmas. We still have the box & the envelope.””

— A comment under a Youtube video about The Beatles Reaction to John Lennon’s Death. I know that comments like these are usually not to be trusted and sort of impossible to verify, but for some reason this particular one sounds  believable to me. Details sound true. What do you think?

Happy birthday Brackets boy!!!

JOHN LENNON + PAUL MCCARTNEY 1964, Australia

Drop everything, new John & Paul photo from 1974 just dropped!

John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Linda McCartney, May Pang and Harry Nilsson in LA, 29th March 1974. Photo taken by Mal Evans.

For Mal, the sunny afternoon of March 29 would bring pure magic in contrast with the previous evening’s lackluster proceedings. The McCartney clan showed up [at the Santa Monica beach house] out of the blue, this time with daughters Heather, Mary, and Stella in tow, and Mal was thrilled at the prospect of seeing John and Paul together again—twice in the span of two days, no less. And he was by no means disappointed, observing the two old friends reclining on the patio together and, later, walking along the beach, with May, Linda, and the McCartney brood trailing along behind them. “Nice to see him and John together,” Mal scribbled in his diary later that month.

At one point that afternoon, Evans reached for his camera and snapped a photo of the two old friends lounging at the beach house — flanked by their partners, Linda and May Pang, and Harry Nilsson. May would also take some Polaroids of the meeting at some point this day, but there's a very real possibility that Evans' picture is the last photo ever taken of the 20th Century's greatest songwriting duo. (It will be included in the upcoming collection of Evans' diaries and archives, slated for publication in 2024.)
