"Whoever slept with George woke up with him wrapped around them"

We were good chums despite his tender years as it seemed to me then.Ā We were always together.Ā He lived near me in Upton Green and I lived in Ardwick Road, half a mile away, so we took the same bus to the same school, and then we got guitars at the same time. We went through the Bert Weedon books and learned D and A together and we were quite big buddies then. That was something Iād missed for all those years"
-Paul McCartney
"Thing is, thereās a lot about me and George that the public donāt know about, and I like it better that way. That night was very personal, and very special to me. Itās one of my favourite memories."

George: I don't want to to go on the f*cking roof
also George: *refuses to disconnect his amp when the police arrives and asks the band to stop the concert*
The Beatles and their fans: Some interesting facts that Lizzie Bravo, a brazilian fan who lived the beatlemania in 1967/1968, said. I translated from the interview that Lizzie gave to "Pitadas Do Sal" in 2021. May Lizzie rest in peace. ā”
Paul McCartney lived near Abbey Road so he walked around and sometimes barefoot.
The Beatles called their fans "luv" and always said hello/goodbye even if they were in the car.
When Lizzie was invited to record Across The Universe with the band, Paul McCartney asked her to sing something "in brazilian" but she was so nervous that she couldn't.
It was hard to distract John Lennon and Paul McCartney when they were together. They talked a lot in private, laughed a lot, and even finished each other's sentences. "They lived in their own bubble" Lizzie about Lennon-McCartney.
When Lizzie met John Lennon for the first time (her favorite beatle), she started crying and Mal Evans hugged her and gave her a chocolate.
George Harrison wrote Apple Scruffs for specific fans, not for all the fans who stayed in the studios.
George Harrison also wrote letters to these 3 fans in particular, thanking them for their support especially when he was starting his solo career.
Once, John Lennon was leaving Paul McCartney's house and when he said goodbye to Lizzie, who was waiting for him outside, she said "I love you" spontaneously. John smiled and waved.
Lizzie said they never seemed as mad as people sounded.
The fans did a marathon every day: They ran to Abbey Road, saw The Beatles and in the end of the afternoon they ran to Paul McCartney's house to see John Lennon go there - something he did a lot.
Sometimes they arrived together in the studio in the same car.
There were 20 or 30 fans waiting to see them everyday! It depended on which beatle would arrive before or after.
Lizzie said that The Beatles were very humble, kind and didn't even seem like the renowned band they were (and are!).
I was a George girl in the past and I really know he loved Paulie, what happened in the late 60s we will never know. I don't believe in all the propaganda and the fantasies Beatles' biographers says.
The love was there and they were not just like brothers and never enemies.

āāI 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 āitās a dragā 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 āitās a drag commentā 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 Ā£200 & wished him a merry Christmas. We still have the box & the envelope.āā
ā A comment under aĀ Youtube videoĀ about The Beatles Reaction to John Lennonās 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 soundsĀ believable to me. Details sound true. What do you think?
Paul: I'll be overpowering this time
John (joking but serious): oh good. I like it when you're brutal
