LINDA McCARTNEY during the ‘Give Ireland Back To The Irish’ rehearsal. 1972.
in the end, the thing about the beatles is that they were just a group of young simple english guys. when they sang about love they were talking about sex, when they sang about sex they were talking about money, and when they sang about money they were talking about their unresolved homoerotic feelings towards one of their bandmates
Remembering the lovely LINDA McCARTNEY who passed away on this date, April 17, 1998.
“ Linda means beautiful in Spanish, and my Linda was certainly that — inside and out. — Anyone who met her, however briefly, was touched by her genuine interest and gentle kindness. I never stop thinking of her as my girlfriend, even though she became my wife, my children's mother, and my Lady. — The beauty of her spirit never failed to communicate itself to those she encountered, whether they were young or old, male or female, or whatever, they were worthy of respect and so she treated them exactly the same and they invariably felt very comfortable being with her. — Our love of animals was something we discovered, we shared as time went by, and they too enjoyed the same deep respect given to them by her. Her vision of the world was, and is, a simple one. Love, kindness, respect and thoughtfulness for one another and for our fellow species and a deep distrust of people who neglect these values. I am blessed to have shared thirty loving years with this uniquely special woman, a fact which I will remain eternally grateful for. “
— Paul McCartney, Club Sandwich - 1998.
every time an article says 'Now and Then used AI' with absolutely no nuance, this is who you're hurting btw
"If no one claims me in 30 days, I'M YOURS"

Genuinely surprised if you haven't come across these quotes from the following YouTube videos yet: "The woman who saved Paul McCartney | 60 Minutes Australia" @6:25 & "Paul McCartney sets record straight on relationship with Lennon | Parkinson Interview 12 Oct 1997" @22:20. Seems to me like Paul's literally admitted he's not straight already and I'm living for it even if it flew under the radar
“Did he love you?”
“Yeah, I think he did actually. It wasn’t a spiky relationship at all, it was very warm, very close, and very loving.....homosexuality was still largely illegal sure...but then the business came and the lawyers arrived...”
honest to god I keep forgetting that John Lennon is dead I think about his annoying ass so often that it's like he's still with us
call me when the biopics drop
