He Was Trying To Get John Back With Pure Nostalgia - Blog Posts

"we'd go to these parties, at the time of people like juliette greco, the whole french bohemian thing. they'd all wear black turtleneck sweaters; i fancied juliette like mad. have you seen her? dark hair, real chanteuse, really happening."

he knows a thing of two about wearing black turtlenecks, he channeled his inner juliette while composing/recording michelle too, i wonder why he brought the look back for the get back sessions!!!! (smt like him wearing his quarrymen era shirt for the last photoshoot)

“I used to pretend I could speak French, because everyone wanted to be like Sacha Distel, or Juliette Greco was actually who you wanted to be like, even though she was a girl, because she had the feel of it all: that French existential thing, they were all in turtlenecks and black and down the bohemian clubs. It was bohemia!”

“So I used to sit around and murmur. It was my Maurice Chevalier meets Juliette Greco moment: me trying to be enigmatic to make girls think, “Who’s that very interesting French guy over in the corner?” I would literally use it as that, and John knew this was one of my ploys.”

—Paul McCartney, Many Years from Now

“I'd always had a fantasy about a woman who would be a beautiful, intelligent, dark-haired, high-cheek-boned, free-spirited artist (à la Juliette Greco).

My soul mate.”

—John Lennon, Skywriting by Word of Mouth
