So I ended up watching a Hard Days Night, Nowhere Boy (which I've already seen) and Backbeat all in the same day since I went full Beatles binge mode yesterday and it was amazing! Needless to say, John is rotting my brain, as he should. I'll post my thoughts on a Hard Day's Night in the next post!
So, I watched The Last Waltz for the first time today and it was a total fucking experience to say the least, my mind is blown
yes he’s my comfort guy but also he’s my weird silly guy he’s my hot rockstar guy he’s my inspiration guy he’s my very special guy he’s my everything guy
This is it. This is The End. Here we go.
John Lennon at Arlanda Airport in Stockholm, Sweden | 23 October 1963
As I stood front of my favorite Beatle the only thing I could think of was that his contact lenses looked like they hurt him. He smiled and stuck out his hand and without thinking, I rested my right arm on top of his left while we shook hands! “John, ” I said, “are your contacts bothering you?” “No,” he answered. I got the distinct feeling that not too many people had asked that question. Undaunted I plunged on, “I have them too!” I confided.He leaned closer and stared searchingly into my eyes. “Are your bothering you?” he said with a straight face. “No.” I stammered and then we both laughed. “They’re good aren’t they?” John said seriously and I could only nod, not trusting my voice. “But your eyes are prettier then mine.” John said and to my dismay unwanted tears rolled down my cheeks. “Hey” John said with a slight laugh. “Don’t cry or they’ll wash away!” I smiled through my tears as I blurted, “John you’re my favorite.” He smiled warmly, gave my hand a final shake and said, “You’re my favorite”.
