This Is So Future Nostalgia Coded. He DECIDED To Do This. He Made A Conscious Choice. What Must It Be

Paul McCartney’s band giving him a present for 20 years together, backstage at the O2, 19th December 2024

It’s too much to bear.

🙌

now they're frightened of leaving it

everyone's weaving it

I don't know why nobody told you

How to unfold your love.

Stand by your man

This is the kind of thinking that only tumblr delivers.

The transition in Paul's attitude from 66' to 67' freaks me out a little and I think should be talked about more. In 66' he's full on ready for independence and spouting off in magazines like ''I'm my own person, I want to grow up, do my own thing, maybe only work with the Beatles when we feel the need to'' etc. Contrast that to 67' and he's full-blown May Queen from Midsommar "Leaving? Why would you say that?? I'm staying forever and ever and ever with the Beatles, financially handcuffing ourselves to each other just feels good y'know, so what if I'm psychically fused with John whats the big deal?" enmeshed. Sure he's got Jane but even she leaves partially because Paul's first and foremost part of the four-headed monster.

Like Paul, what happened??? Did they lock you in a room clockwork orange style with a shit ton of LSD and the Beatles cartoon? Did John sneak into your room at night and start playing a menacing arrangement of the Beach Boys at a subliminal frequency? Did you get spooked by independence and taxes and run back to the loving embrace of the emotional polycule? It frankly makes the LSD peer pressure thing come across as vaguely sinister/j.

The Beatles don't get enough credit for being the weird microcosm of in-group/out-group pack mentality behaviour that those little freaks were. Seriously, it should be studied.

Can we talk about this documentary from 2021? Please. It can’t have been made in 2021. Mainly want to compare thoughts on Paul’s telling of July 6th meeting and his impression of John (~15:24). What the fuck was going on with him at this time? Other examples of some kind of reshaping of the narrative here. It needed reshaping, still does - but this seems super heavy handed and not like Paul at all. He looks so uncomfortable at times. I hate some of this.

In another world

In another world

We could Stand on top of the mountain

With our flag unfurled

In a time to come

In a time to come

We will be dancing to the beat played

On a different drum

“When we sang together,” Lennon told Mintz in one of their conversations, “Paul and I would share the same microphone. I’d be close enough to kiss him. Back then, I didn’t wear me specs onstage – Brian Epstein said they made me look old. So we’d be playing these concerts, in front of thousands of people, but the only thing I could see was Paul’s face. He was always there next to me – I could always feel his presence. It’s what I remember most about those concerts.”
