Sir Paul Was Asked If Lennon Were Alive, Which McCartney Song He Would Like Him To Play. He Said: ''Maybe

Can we also talk about this really quick???

“Two Of Us is about Linda” my ASS

Martha spent a lot of her time snuffling after Thisbe the cat. In Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, a group of Athenian workmen - the 'mechanicals' - led by Bottom the weaver, attempt to stage a play called Pyramus and Thisbe. The Beatles performed a short extract from this play within a play for the Jack Good TV show Around the Beatles in May 1964. John played Thisbe, Paul played Pyramus, George was Moonshine and Ringo appeared as Lion. Thisbe was to feature in a number of Paul's home movies, peering round doors and jumping down steps; she was soon joined by three more of her kind.

PAUL: I had a litter of cats called Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Jesus ran off, Joseph stuck around for a long time, and Mary had kittens. We put the kittens in this little box and I remember me and Brian Jones stayed up all night, looking at the kittens. I got the word 'God' from three symbols on the side of the box: one of them was a moon, the G; О was the sun, and the star was like the D. And somehow it read, 'God'. I had this live-in couple called the Kellys who would wake you up early in the morning like everything was just going normally and we had just stayed up all night and it was like, 'Go away please!' It was just amazing because we were actually watching what went on. Instead of saying, 'Oh yes, we've got kittens, ain't they marvellous? There they are, cuddly cuddly, now I'm going to go and do something important,' we took five hours with these kittens. Now they call it 'Stop and smell the flowers'. They say you should do more things like that in a stressful life.

(in the Little Girl Tape starting from around 7:40 you can hear Paul talking about the kittens - who were born in May '67 - and their mom Thisbe)

Paul’s message to his most loyal Spotify listeners, 2023

“I luv ya. And…you love me! So, thanks a lot”

“The Beatles is over but John, Paul, George and Ringo, God knows what relationship they’ll have in the future, I don’t know. You know, but they still, I still love those guys. Because they’ll always be those people that were that part of my life.”

JOHN PULLED THE “no actually we’re just good friends” 😭😭😭😭😭 madness.

Did you know?

John Lennon marked almost every page of a biographical pamphlet about The Beatles, called The Beatles From Apple, with corrections and comments in 1971. 

In an entry noting Paul and Linda’s wedding, John crossed out the word “wedding” and written “funeral” in it’s place. Normal stuff. 

Who never called their best friend’s wedding a funeral when they were mad at each other, right? Awww…
