John Paul - Blog Posts

Well guys… after 6 years of being on TV, Craig of the Creek has ended. I’m actually glad I jumped on board in 2020, it definitely one of the underrated shows out there. I wish it would’ve been longer if it weren’t for Zaslav ruining everything but I guess beggars can’t be choosers I guess. I’ll see you tomorrow at the Creek.

“It was widely believed that Lennon’s relationship with McCartney was at its lowest point at this time, but Van Scyoc {Gary Van Scyoc, bassist on Some time in NYC, 1972} saw ample evidence that this simply wasn’t the case. “You would read in the New York Post that they were at each other’s throats. I had a copy of the paper in my kit bag, and as I walk into the session, John is on the phone with Paul in Scotland for an hour-and-a-half and they’re yakking it up. That doesn’t really sound like two people who are at each others throats, does it?”

One reason I'm convinced that Paul absolutely knows that Now and Then was written for him is that if it had been another "ohhhh Yoko" then he wouldn't have clutched it to his heart every night for the past 30 years as he fell asleep until Peter Jackson swooped in like an angel to bring it to life for him. 

Are they kidding? It'll be way more than two dozen.

I live in hope, too, Anonymous 247. 

"My friend met him [Paul] at a party in LA, they chatted, then she hugged him. He whispered in her ear: "no one's hugged me like that since John Lennon". She nearly threw up from laughter."

“Over the years, whenever Paul has been asked to talk about John, he usually ends up saying that John was a lovely guy.  Well I’ve seen John be funny, I’ve seen him be witty, I’ve seen him be sarcastic, but I’ve never really seen him be lovely.

But the lovely John that Paul has been talking about for years was actually captured on film.”

-Peter Jackson, on John Lennon in Get Back 

“I become whoever I’m with. And so, if I’m with a mad man, I become mad.

And if I’m with somebody I love, I become lovely.”

- John Lennon, 1975

"...of yoooooooou"

They don't even try to hide the McLennon anymore 😂. It's so damned obvious you can see it from space, just because Paul has never looked directly into a camera and confirmed it doesn't mean their love was any less real. 

Now and Then is the last love song we'll ever get from John to Paul.

I believe in

For Paul

Paul wasn’t planning to write about Liverpool – until he heard “Strawberry Fields” and it lit up his competitive edge. These memories were something he and his dearest friend still shared – Paul remembered Strawberry Field, and he knew John well enough to know what it meant to him. But he also knew what Penny Lane meant to John – that was the street where he lived with his mother, Julia, before she left him. Strawberry Field was down the road from his Auntie’s house; the place he’d go to contemplate his exile from the home he’d known on Penny Lane. These twin songs went together as a concept single. “Strawberry Fields” and “Penny Lane” are their most famous combo, linked together forever though it’s been decades since they’ve existed in that form. They play off each other as a John/Paul dialogue. While Paul does his people-watching on Penny Lane, John is a mile away, hiding in the tall grass of Strawberry Field. – Rob Sheffield, Dreaming the Beatles
