Attention!

Important! They are ALL FRIENDS!

Most of the time they’re just happy to get on with their business around humans. Sometimes they get a little too curious, usually after a minute they’ll realise you’re not food or a good place to sit, but if they bother you then it’s best to just move away.

Remember they sting to defend themselves or their nest, and from their point of view humans are gigantic, unpredictable and potentially very dangerous creatures.

It’s understandable if you’re scared of them, but please don’t say they’re evil!

December 8th, 1970: John adjudges his own accountability for the things he says or has said.

JOHN: We all say a lot of things that we don’t know what we’re talking about. I’m probably doing it now, I don’t know what I said. See, everybody takes you up on the words you said in 19— I’m just a guy who people ask what about things. I blab off, and some of it makes sense, some of it’s bullshit, some of it’s lies and some of it’s… God knows what I’m saying, you know? I felt it, you see. So when I felt it, it was like I was crucified. So I know what they’re talking about now.

“The worst pain in the world is shame. I spend a lot of time trying to not do anything bad to anyone, but you can’t live your life and not hurt people. Pretty recently, I did something that I’m really not proud of, and it shocked me. I thought, “I’m a really fucking bad person.” But I realized that something good came out of it because now I have to be a lot less judgmental of others. Everything can make you a more compassionate person if you use it that way.”

— Fiona Apple for Pitchfork, JUNE 4 2012

January, 1964: John works on the composition of ‘If I Fell’. 

JOHN: So I hope you see that I / Would love to love you / I hope that she won’t cry / When she learns we are two / We’re two / Gonna be the two two of us in love / Two two of us in love…

Proof that 1967 was their best year

in 1967 the beatles became FREE.

Free from their iconic and teen image they gave themselves for the screaming fans and magazines. They were not 4 cute lads anymore. They literally could do what they wanted with their image, body, clothes, and life. Also, they grew up, they became independent. Each one of them got a new house, an independent life. They stopped touring. They could handle their public and private life as they wanted. That’s why I love how it’s even more blatant that John and Paul spent countless time together, in London, full of fans who turned out to be their paparazzi, taking candids and following them everywhere.

First proof, look at this:

This is my favourite photo of them of all time. It was late night, they were going to abbey road recording sgt pepper, coming from Paul’s house. They look like a married couple to me. They spent more time together than with their supposed girlfriends and wives. 

v This was taken by a fan. John in front of Paul’s house v

Alwayss together. Always.

This looks like a peaceful sunday afternoon to me.

In his interview, Paul likes to tell how many times they wrote songs in the evening, and spent the night in the studio, recording.

John going to Paul’s house, writing songs with him, have dinner together, having fun with Martha. Domestic bliss.

^ ^ ^ Another favourite of mine. ^ ^ ^

This was taken by a fan who saw them getting out Paul’s house together to bring Martha at the park. They look like today rockstars in LA. Look at Paul, he looks like he was born in 1992. Sneakers, tight jeans, a shirt and a stylish jacket. And John? He’s wearing Paul’s poncho. Or John’s. I still haven’t understood, since they both shared their clothes. And in 1967 we’ve got many proofs.

1967 is also the best year for their look. 

Paul has always been beautiful, but in my opinion nothing will ever beat 1967.

And John?

Wasn’t he damn beautiful? Finally expressing his true self and look. The iconic glasses, the hair. And that smile.

Tell me there’s something better than this, I won’t believe you. It doesn’t exist.

Here you are. The greatest music partnership of all time. My secret desire is to see a David Bailey photoshoot remade in 1967. How beautiful it would be.

1967 was their first and last year of free marital bliss. Before India arrived, before Yoko arrived, before the end.

DOWNLOAD: BEATLES BOOKS AND CLIPPINGS

Making a change from the Buckingham Nicks and Fleetwood Mac stuff I usually post, lol. I thought I’d upload these for anyone interested - not many of my followers, I know, but hopefully it’ll be seen in the right tags.

Basically, these aren’t my favourite Beatles books by any means but these are the ones I have a digital copy of. I’ve also included many, many uploads of magazine scans I bought off eBay years ago, as well as some other magazine PDFs I have, and the digipaks/booklets from The Beatles remasters in 2009.
