Get Back Part I / Part III

John told me that he and [Pete] Shotton had lost their virginity around the same time, a fact that John had felt compelled to share with Julian. “It’s good for Julian to know I was a virgin once, too!” said John earnestly. “I don’t want him to think of me as just some weird, mythical dad.” John said he was curious if Julian was still a virgin, but that he could not bring himself to ask his son such an intimate question. “Maybe he’s still trying to figure out his sexual identity and he’ll be offended if he turns out to be gay and thinks I disapprove,” he said. I assured John that based on the time I had spent with Julian in Palm Beach the previous year, I could attest to the fact that his son had a healthy interest in the opposite sex. John remained unconvinced. “Time will tell,” he said.

nothing worse than a picture of a band member taken by another band member

you can tell paul had it from the very beginning. he was on the ed sullivan show about to perform in front of millions of americans for the first time. the others still seemed reserved but paul mccartney came out fucking bouncing bobbing his jelly round head long anime girl legs giving disney knees before either of those concepts were a thing singing oh yeah i'll tell you something. and he did. without care. through grainy static filled screens he captured the souls of thousands of women so fast that 60 years later i am typing this on tumblr. just raw star power.

btw julian lennon is also a lesbian, there is no way that this beautiful woman is a guy

Lesbians in Beatles songs

1. The girl from Girl

This song is about Paul who is a lesbian.

2. Eleanor Rigby

Died alone? No husband? Hmmmm. 🤔

3. Rita from Lovely Rita

Bless his heart Paul’s so besotted with her, but I don’t think that was a date. First of all, she paid (ok, brokey); second of all, “sitting on the sofa with a sister or two” - those are her lesbian roommates. They told you that cause they were making fun of you.

4. The girl from Norwegian Wood

A lesbian playing mind games - John’s favourite.

5. She from She’s Leaving Home

I know what you’re thinking: Mo, the song clearly references a man from the motor trade. Ok, and what about he/him butches?? Who’s more likely to work with cars, a man or a lesbian? Did you ever think of that?

6. The singer from I Want to Hold Your Hand

Across the Universe (2007) dir. Julie Taymor

7. Loretta Martin from Get Back

Something very LGBT going on with Loretta, that’s all I’ll say.

8. Jude from Hey Jude

Jude is a gender neutral name and Miss Jude needs to go out and get her.

9. The girl from Ticket to Ride

“She would never be free when I was around,” ok so lesbian who has finally defeated comp het and left her boyfriend or something, idk, I needed a 9 for my punchline.

10. The singer from Here, There and Everywhere

This song is sung by Paul who is a lesbian.

"[Me and Stu] ended up good friends, but we'd had a few ding-dongs, partly out of jealousy for John's friendship. We all rather competed for John's friendship, and Stuart, being his mate from art school, had a lot of his time and we were jealous of that."

At one point during the party John sidled up to me and said, “Love your eye makeup, honey!” [Seaman was wearing eyeliner and mascara] Meanwhile, Peter Boyle, who was taking photos, told Marnie Hair he would pay her ten dollars if she would kiss John. “Here’s a picture that’s worth a lot more,” John said. He then kissed me on the mouth.
