1966 💭

The Beatles in a hotel room, c. 1963

Is this anything to anyone? Does this mean anything/resonate with anyone? It does to me, this means so much to me. I think that's what matters most.

(sorry about the quality- this was a doodle on a bigger canvas,, perhaps I'll remaster it one day)

My cheri my pau pau

Paul Mccartney with his cats Mary, Tiger, and Thisbe.

Thisbe had three kittens: Jesus, Mary, and Joseph (Jesus famously ran away).

Paul, Thisbe, Pyramus (who he gifted to John), and Martha in 1967.

That post of all those pics paul took of john makes me SICK he was SOOOO in love with john it HURTS. And like you can really tell WHY paul was in love with him like he looks so beautiful and handsome and soft and lovely like THAT is the sweet man paul talks about like THAT is how paul saw john as captured in those pictures like OF COURSE paul would love him deeply for the rest of his life...I need to be put down before I start biting people

SAME THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT MAKES ME SO CRAZY ABOUT THOSE PHOTOS. like he consistently captures that soft, vulnerable side of john that he talks about. none of the cockiness or bravado he puts on, just this boy that smiles shyly at the camera and hunches in on himself and looks up at paul like he's the world too..... I'm so sick like I'm literally so sick I can't do it. of course he'd love him forever and of course the loss of being one of the people that got to see that sweet side was so fucking painful for him. I'm ill.

It's been a while since I posted anything about the Beatles, so here we go!!

"The painting’s genesis came really when an accident happened on the canvas and, suddenly, I began to see John’s face in the work emerge, especially that familiar nose of his – it was a good chance. It was a really light moment because I was not intending to do John, but his form emerged from what I was scratching out.” (Interview for Boston Globe, 2000)

"They [John and Paul] often shared the same hotel rooms, not only in the early days when the group was too poor to afford suites, but even later on when we were touring the world and staying in five-star places. They changed around though; it wasn't always Paul sharing with John..."
