It just struck me how incredibly hard it must've been for Paul, George, and Ringo in the studio when they heard John's voice coming out of that tape deck singing "I know it's true"--
--I mean, it's hard enough on me and I'm just a second generation-era Beatles fan.
My new favorite music video of all time. Glad I'm not the crying type 'cause I'd be bawling.
Ugh my heart right now: ššš
Mike: I saw the āLennonā play before I came over here and Our Kid comes out of it a wet and rather weedy character, which is absolute bullshit, you know.
Int: Not long after John died, I heard that at a showing of āLet It Beā, the audience booed Paulā¦
Mike: Tragic. That really is tragic because youāll never know how what sort of love they had for each other. You didn'tneed to put it into words. So itās sad. And I found the āLennonā thing, the āLennonā play in Liverpool, itās equally sad in the fact that it wasnāt like that for one. They had a healthy regard for each other. John, in his own inimitable style, was like a brother in many respectsā¦trying to tell Our Kid things and communicate with all his things, but you know, Johnny chose, ācause thatās the way he was, to put it in public. He chose to wash his dirty linen in public. But youāll notice Our Kid never answered back, never replied because just as John has his right to do it his way, Our Kid also has his right to do it his way. But it doesnāt mean just 'cause you donāt get in a ring that youāre notāit doesnāt mean that youāre a coward.

Oh my god, John. The flipper of a seal? Seriously John? Omigod. š
He does know that Mycroft will find out about that someday. He literally just said that he hears of Sherlock everywhere since John became his chronicler.

To celebrate Ian Leslie's long anticipated biography of John & Paul, here is a look at a vintage McLennon article written by Michael Gerber all the way back in 2015. Don't skip the comments. Gerber responds to them and they bring out even more insight.
From the article: "A love affair between John and Paul, ended abruptly in March 1968 and followed by Paulās departure from Rishikesh, explains a lot that the conventional narrative doesnāt."
From the comments: "But this is an obsession for a significant subgroup of Beatle fandom, and a significantly thoughtful, well-read and (strange as it may seem given the conjectural nature of the topic) evidence-based subgroup at that. And Iām as interested in that subgroup as I am in the unanswerable question itself."
