The way bob dylan awkwardly half-waves when he comes on stage. dylarrison is literally awkwardgirl4awkwardgirl
In July [1971], the music press gave reports of the many people George was assembling for the concert. It was rumoured that his friend Dylan might even turn up, but Terry [Doran] told me George was having slight problems with Bob. Dylan had not performed for quite a while. Now George was asking him to make his 'comeback' in the hardest of all performing situations: at Madison Square Gardens with a bunch of musicians he had never played with before. One day during rehearsals, Dylan apparently got uptight and said he just couldn't do it; he was too nervous. George went wild: "You're nervous! What, are you crazy? I've never performed without the other three. At least you're used to performing on your own!" Dylan then explained that the concert was becoming a hassle. Again, George went wild. "I'm the one trying to put it together. All you have to do is sing!" Dylan walked out of the rehearsals. (He was not seen again by George, or anyone else, until the night of the concert. George didn't know if he was coming or not. So when the time allotted for Dylan came in the concert, live and on stage, George looked into the stage wings. There was Dylan, ready to come on. George still didn't know he was going to perform until Dylan started to stroll on stage. Dylan was a major hit, possibly the limelight of the show. It did Dylan good, too. He had regained his confidence and returned to the road for a tour shortly after the concert.)

hello my dear ! i hope it’s okay that i used lennison for this ! i couldn’t resist !!! <3
“George,” John whines from the couch.
George can only roll his eyes, this is the fourth time in the past five minutes that John has called out for his boyfriend.
He knows exactly what John wants.
“Geo—“ John starts but is immediately interrupted by George.
“John—Please be quiet for just one moment,” he takes a deep breath, “I’m trying to focus on something.”
“Writing songs can wait, George. I can’t believe you would let the love of your life sit over here and waste away without so much as a kiss or a hug?” John asks incredulously.
George picks his head up from his guitar, “You are far from attention deprived, John. And even if you were, I think you would survive.”
John lets out another whine, “But George,” he pauses for a moment to attract his lover’s eye contact, “I could just drop dead right now and you’d just have to live with the fact that you wouldn’t give me any affection.”
George sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose, “You are insufferable,” he states plainly as he sets his guitar down and closes his notebook.
John grins as George’s figure appears in view, “Well hello there handsome,” John purrs as George settles beside him.
George rolls his eyes once again as John climbs into his lap and places his arms around George’s neck.
“Oh don’t act so unamused,” John teases, “I know you are just as needy as I am.”
George fights the urge to roll his eyes for a third time as his hands settle at John’s waist, “Y’know, John, I love you. I really do, but sometimes I’d like to just shut that pretty little mouth of yours.”
John lets out a gasp of (fake) surprise, “You love me? I had no idea!”
This time George does roll his eyes for a third time before pulling John forward to press a kiss to his lips.
“I like you better when you shut your mouth,” George whispers as they pull away.
John’s smugness can be seen from a mile away, “I always knew you did.”
