You know, I never told you this. Julie Roussel’s letters were very beautiful. Beautiful because because they were full of hope. We were trying to create something permanent. But you came instead and brought the ephemeral. Before I met you, I thought life was so simple. But now I realize it’s not. You mixed everything up. In a way, it’s too bad.

Scanned in some of my favorite Mike pics from Davy’s Photobook of the Monkees 1967 Tour. They’re kind of fuzzy from the program trying to capture pixels, but I hope they bring you joy.

PAUL MCCARTNEY THE BEATLES: GET BACK (2021) — day 14
Sharon Tate (1967)
From Sylvie’s personal collection
“He also brings in his girlfriend, rock photographer Linda Eastman. He introduces her to a camera man, then adds, “Linda’s a camera man.” Then he sits at the piano to run through some stunning new tunes: “Golden Slumbers,” “Another Day,” “The Long and Winding Road.” The songs aren’t finished, but he’s just showing off for Linda. He’s determined to dazzle this woman.
(This detail cannot be over-stressed: Paul has already decided Linda is the love of his life. He is correct. They’re inseparable for the next 38 years, until her dying day. At this point, he’s still a young rock star, not to mention the most adored bachelor on earth, but that doesn’t faze him. He has total emotional confidence in this life decision. He is 26 years old. Let’s face it: as a culture, we haven’t even begun to fathom the mysteries of Paul McCartney. The gods made only one of him.)” — ROB SHEFFIELD, Rolling Stone Get Back Review
