I did a little concert for somebody in Hollywood. Paul McCartney was there. I've never met him before, but I'm a fucking fan of The Beatles. I'm in the back smoking, and they're like, "Sir Paul would like to meet you." I'm like, "For real? Hold on," and I put that blunt out. Cuh walk in the room like, "Don't put that down."

THIS IS ADORABLEšš
hahahah I love this!!
Paul has already lost it, and George is trying not to laugh, but the poor thing gave in!
I LOVE THEM
okay i'm high as fuck right now and have been rewinding Paul saying "What's the matter John, love, Blue Meanies?" at the end of Yellow Submarine over and over. also right after the way they make direct eye contact and paul instantly breaks after seeing johns face...
John lives AU
In his seventies, Paul finds RPF about them. Despite being horrified at first, he gradually starts reading more and more, and learns to understand himself and his relationship with John.
He explains to John and they have sweet old-man sex about it.

As the meeting was drawing to a weary close, John, not this day with Yoko, who hadnāt seemed particularly connected with what was going on, said he wanted to play us a tape he and Yoko had made. He got up and put the cassette into the tape machine and stood beside it as we listened. The soft murmuring voices did not at first signal their purpose. It was a man and a woman but hard to hear, the microphone having been at a distance. I wondered if the lack of clarity was the point. Were we even meant to understand what was going on, was it a kind of artwork where we would not be able to put the voices into a context, and was context important? I felt perhaps this was something John and Yoko were examining. But then, after a few minutes, it became clear. John and Yoko were making love, with endearments, giggles, heavy breathing, both real and satirical, and the occasional more direct sounds of pleasure reaching for climax, all recorded by the faraway microphone. But there was something innocent about it too, as though they were engaged in a sweet serious game. John clicked the off button and turned again to look toward the table, his eyebrows quizzical above his round glasses, seemingly genuinely curious about what reaction his little tape would elicit. However often theyād shared small rooms in Hamburg, whatever they knew of each otherās love and sex lives, this tape seemed to have stopped the other three cold. Perhaps it touched a reserve of residual Northern reticence. After a palpable silence, Paul said, āWell, thatās an interesting one.ā The others muttered something and the meeting was over. It occured to me as I was walking down the stairs that what weād heard could have been an expression of 1960s freedom and openness but was it more likely that it was as if a gauntlet had been thrown down? āYou need to understand that this is where she and I are now. I donāt want to hold your hand anymore.ā
At the end of the day a farmer delivered a huge hog to the mansion [Tittenhurst Park]. It was Johnās notion to parody the album jacket photograph of Paul McCartneyās Ram, which showed Paul wrestling with a ram; John would wrestle with a pig. We all went outside and stared at the large surly animal. It was much bigger than any of us had expected. John circled the animal warily. He liked the idea, but he didnāt like the hog. Dan stood poised to snap the picture. āClimb on its back, John, and grab its ears,ā he said. John looked doubtful. He stepped closer to the animal. It let out a shrill, strange, sound. John stepped back, but we all urged him on. āYou can do it, John,ā I said. John approached the animal once again. āI canāt hold the frigginā pig for too long. You get one shot and one shot alone,ā he told Dan.
Loving John: The Untold Story, May Pang
āOn March 12, Paul married Linda Eastman at Marylebone Register Office in London, amid scenes of hysterical grief from his female fans. None of the other Beatles was present. The news reached John as he and Yoko were driving down to visit Aunt Mimi in Poole. Yokoās divorce decree had become final a few weeks earlier, and, in a resurgence of Beatle copycat, John told her they, too, must get married as soon as possibleā
Philip Norman, John Lennon: The life
We chose Gibraltar because it is quiet, British and friendly. We tried everywhere else first. I set out to get married on the car ferry and we would have arrived in France married, but they wouldnāt do it. We were no more successful with cruise ships. We tried embassies, but three weeksā residence in Germany or two weeksā in France were required.
John Lennon
SALEWICZ: Well, I always found it interesting the fact that he got ā I mean, it seemed too much like coincidence to me, the fact that he got married a week or month after you. You know what I mean? PAUL: Yeah. I think we spurred each other into marriage. I mean, you know. They were very strong together, which left me out of the picture. So I got together with Linda and then we got strong with our own kind of thing. And I used to listen to a lot of what they said. I remember him saying to me, āYouāve got to work at marriage,ā which is something I still remember as a bit of advice. I still remember that. Um⦠And then yeah, I think they were a little bit peeved that we got married first. Probably. In a little way, you know, just minor jealousies. And so they got married. I donāt know if thatās ā I mean, who knows⦠[inaudible] making it up, anyway.

Itās like, with our ā heightened awareness, the answer is not to say anything, you know.

You just ā we all just have to do it, and all that, instead of like talking about it. But ā but if one of us is talking about it, itās a drag if the other three arenāt. Because then it sort of throws you off. [inaudible; voice marking tape slate] I mean, weāve just been talking about it now for a few years, you know. Like thisā¦

HINDLE: What do you think about language? JOHN: I think itās a bit crummy, you know? It is a drag form of communication, really. Weāll get ā weāll get telepathy. I believe that.

And my language is thatā HINDLE: Unless you fall in love itās impossible to communicate like that. JOHN: I mean, I wasnāt in love last year, but I was communicating quite well with people. Not as well, or maybe not as powerfully. āCause now thereās two of us, doing that, brrmmm, whatever it is. Sending out a vibration or whatever. But before it was me and⦠or me and George, alright, or whatever it was; we werenāt in love, but. You know. Thereās enough in you to shove it out. It is just that bit.

John Lennon, interviewed by Maurice Hindle (December 1968).
PAUL: I remember when John and I were first hanging out together, I had a dream about digging in the garden with my hands. Iād dreamt that before but Iād never found anything other than an old tin can. But in this dream I found a gold coin. I kept digging and I found another. And another. The next day I told John about this amazing dream Iād had and he said, āThatās funny, I had the same dreamā. So both of us had this dream of finding this treasure. And I suppose you could say it came true. I remember years later talking about it ā āRemember that dream we had?ā; āYeah, that was far outā. So the message of that dream was: keep digging lads.

I mean, if John wasāthe trouble is, see, is heās not here to fend for himself, and we canāt ask him, āāScuse me, John, are youāhave you ever been gay?ā I mean, heās the kindā I remember people used to ask that. There were lots of people asking cheeky questions, and they were always saying, āWell, whyāhave you ever tried homosexuality, John?ā You know, they always used to ask all that kind of stuff. I remember John saying to them, āNo, Iāve never met a fella I fancy enough.ā And that was his kind of opinion. You know, āI may goāI may be gay one day, if some fella really turns me on.ā He wasāhe was that open about it. But as far as I was concerned, I slept in a million hotel roomsāas we all didāslept in a million places with John, and there was never any hint of it.

āAnd I say, if heās homosexual, I thought heād have made a pass at me in 20 years, darling.ā
Paul McCartney talking about John Lennon.
āBrian Epstein, the Beatlesā manager, was a known homosexual. Epstein was always polite and charming. It has been insinuated that John was drawn to Epstein. I believe there was no such relationship between them. John was macho. But if John was a homosexual, it would have made no difference to me. Iāve asked Paul McCartney, who laughed and said: āWhy not me? Iām handsome.ā Then he said: āI was holed up with John in hotel rooms everywhere. There was never a suggestion of anything like that.ā I believe him.ā
Julia Baird, in Boston Globe: Lennonās half-sister remembers⦠(2 October 1988).
āAll I can ever say about it is that I slept with John a lot because you had to, you didnāt have more than one bed - and to my knowledge John was never gay.ā

And maybe he's right to be offended?
Did Lennon have sex with other men? āI think he had a desire to, but I think he was too inhibited,ā says Ono. āNo, not inhibited. He said, āI donāt mind if thereās an incredibly attractive guy.ā Itās very difficult: They would have to be not just physically attractive, but mentally very advanced too. And you canāt find people like that.ā So did Lennon ever have sex with men? āNo, I donāt think so,ā says Ono. āThe beginning of the year he was killed, he said to me, āI could have done it, but I canāt because I just never found somebody that was that attractive.ā Both John and I were into attractivenessāyou knowābeauty.ā

There was even some discussion, albeit not very serious, of whether he should stick to his own gender. āJohn said āIt would hurt you like crazy if I made it with a girl. With a guy, maybe you wouldnāt be hurt, because thatās not competition. But I canāt make it with a guy because I love women too much, and Iād have to fall in love with the guy and I donāt think I can.āā

Paul McCartney answers questions for Q magazine, 1998
John and I used to hitch-hike places together, it was something that we did together quite a lot; cementing our friendship, getting to know our feelings, our dreams, our ambitions together. It was a very wonderful period. I look back on it with great fondness. I particularly remember John and I would be squeezed in our little single bed, and Mike Robbins, who was a real nice guy, would come in late at night to say good night to us, switching off the lights as we were all going to bed.
Many Years From Now
John and I always liked wordplay. So, the phrase āSheās got a ticket to rideā of course referred to riding on a bus or train, but ā if you really want to know ā it also referred to Ryde on the Isle of Wight, where my cousin Betty and her husband Mike were running a pub. Thatās what they did; they ran pubs. He ended up as an entertainment manager at a Butlinās holiday resort. Betty and Mike were very showbiz. It was great fun to visit them, so John and I hitchhiked down to Ryde, and when we wrote the song we were referring to the memory of this trip. Itās very cute now to think of me and John in a little single bed, top and tail, and Betty and Mike coming to tuck us in.
Paul McCartney, onĀ āTicket To Rideā. InĀ The LyricsĀ (2021).
āJohn and I grew up like twins although he was a year and a half older than me. We grew up literally in the same bed because when we were on holiday, hitchhiking or whatever, we would share a bed. Or when we were writing songs as kids heād be in my bedroom or Iād be in his. Or heād be in my front parlour or Iād be in his, although his Aunt Mimi sometimes kicked us out into the vestibule!ā

Paul McCartney
ā. . . I mean, I think really what it was, really all that happened was that John fell in love. With Yoko. And so, with such a powerful alliance like that, it was difficult for him to still be seeing me. It was as if I was another girlfriend, almost. Our relationship was a strong relationship. And if he was to start a new relationship, he had to put this other one away. And I understood that. I mean, I couldnāt stand in the way of someone whoād fallen in love. You canāt say, āWhoās this?ā You canāt really do that. If I was a girl, maybe I could go out and⦠But you know I mean in this case I just sort of said, right ā I mean, I didnāt say anything, but I could see that was the way it was going to go, and that Yoko would be very sort of powerful for him. So um, we all had to get out the way.ā
Paul McCartney, interview with German tv program Exclusiv, April 1985.
JOHN: Itās a plus, itās not a minus. The plus is that your best friend, also, can hold you without⦠I mean, Iām not a homosexual, or we could have had a homosexual relationship and maybe that would have satisfied it, with working with other male artists. [faltering] An artist ā itās more ā itās much better to be working with another artist of the same energy, and thatās why thereās always been Beatles or Marx Brothers or men, together. Because itās alright for them to work together or whatever it is. Itās the same except that we sleep together, you know? I mean, not counting love and all the things on the side, just as a working relationship with her, it has all the benefits of working with another male artist and all the joint inspiration, and then we can hold hands too, right?
John Lennon, interview w/ Sandra Shevey. (Mid-June?, 1972)
Y: After the initial embarrassment, that how Paul is being very nice to me, heās nice and a very, str- on the level, straight, sense, like wherever thereās something like happening at the Apple, he explains to me, as if I should know. And also whenever thereās something like they need a light man, or something like that he asks me if I know of anybody, things like that. And like I can see that heās just now suddenly changing his attitude, like his being, heās treating me with respect, not because itās me, but because I belong to John. I hope thatās what it is because that would be nice. And I feel like heās my younger brother or something like that. Iām sure that if he had been a woman or something, he would have been a great threat, because thereās something definitely very strong with me, John, and Paul.
Yoko Ono, Revolution Tape, June 4th 1968
As a second choice from the Lennon- McCartney songbook, Elton suggested 'I Saw Her Standing There'. This appealed to John for its antiquity, and because its lead vocal always was sung by Paul. (...) There was a whisper of Royal Variety Show mischief when he announced "a number by an old estranged fiancƩ of mine called Paul" - no one yet knowing the estranged fiancƩs were long reconciled.
John Lennon: The Life, Philip Norman
You know, John loved Paul. No doubt about it. I remember once he said to me, āIām the only person whoās allowed to say things like that about Paul. I donāt like it when other people do.ā He didnāt like if other people said nasty things about Paul. And he always referred to Paul as his estranged fiancĆ© and things like that, like he did on that [live] record āI Saw Her Standing Thereā with Elton in Madison Square Garden.

You were right about New York! I do love it; it's the ONLY PLACE TO BE. (Apart from anything else, they leave you alone too!) I see you prefer Scotland! (MM) -- I'll bet you your piece of Apple you'll be living in New York by 1974 (two years is the usual time it takes you right?)
John's letter to Paul in Melody Maker, 1971 Finally, about not telling anyone that I left the BeatlesāPAUL and Klein both spent the day persuading me it was better not to say anythingāasking me not to say anything because it would 'hurt the Beatles'āand 'let's just let it petre out'āremember? So get that into your petty little perversion of a mind, Mrs. McCartneyāthe cunts asked me to keep quiet about it. Of course, the money angle is importantāto all of usāespecially after all the petty shit that came from your insane family/in lawsāand GOD HELP YOU OUT, PAULāsee you in two yearsāI reckon you'll be out thenāinspite of it all, love to you both, from us two.
John's personal letter to Linda & Paul, 1971
JOHN: Oh, [Klein]ād love it if Paul would come back. I think he was hoping he would for years and years. He thought that if he did something, to show Paul that he could do it, Paul would come around. But no chance. I mean, I want him to come out of it, too, you know. He will one day. I give him five years, Iāve said that. In five years heāll wake up. YOKO: And people donāt understand, you know. Thereās so many groups that constantly announce theyāre going to split, theyāre going to split, and they can announce it every year, and it doesnāt mean theyāre going to split. But people donāt understand what an extraordinary position the Beatles are in, you know. In every way. Theyāre in such an extraordinary position that theyāre more insecure than other people. And so Klein thinks heāll give Paul two years Linda-wise, you know. And John said, āNo, Paul treasures things like children, things like that. It will be longer.ā And of course, John was right.
