John And Paul ❤️

She’s a big tease.

Oh Paul, too busy to button your jeans?

Make it stop.

“John never looked at anyone the way he looked at Paul.” -an actual quote said by Cynthia Powell.

A new one to me. What a day!

This hits ALL the spots.

Harmony songs are THE Beatles songs for me.

I never say no to a bit of rip-roar McCartney either.

I didn’t expect impending tyranny to generate so much creativity and wit so quickly. I knew about it from history. Artists and musicians and writers are the first to be persecuted because they are the truth-tellers. Still, it’s been so fast and it buoys my spirit. It’s inspiring and I think people are creating magic. We all have such instant access and ability to disseminate information everywhere. We are crowdsourcing a revolution. People will be studying these slogans one day. The enormity of it. Massive it is. Cheers to the OG hammer legends. They are one of the still points in my turning world.

So, recommendation info…

Check out Elis James and John Robins. Right now they are on the BBC in a totally not confusing great reset podcast only format that is recorded once a week, podcasted twice a week and the highlights broadcast as a pre-recorded show on Friday afternoons on BBC5.

But go back to the earliest radio x/xfm unproducable days. Be a retro oner pcd.

See we did understand the great reset. We also now understand why ticket pricing, dynamic or static, is a dance. Nesta James is the best of eggs and is responsible for everyone in South Wales having a career. Toasties should never cost more than 4 euros. Sat Navs are a minefield Lynn. RIP Sat Nav Dad, seemed like another good egg. Stat Man Ross deserves only good things. Vin. Also, thanks Vin for introducing me to Vulfpeck. In the paddock.

So, listen to them. It’s a journey. It’s a good one. 🛎️

“Not telling the truth.” Was that a message, was he telling John he wasn’t telling the truth in India, and neither were you.

this part of let it be makes me want to sell my soul to the devil to have been with them in India. What the fuck sort of meta conversation is going on between J&P

P: “It’s incredible yknow just to sort of see us. What we’re doing, it’s incredible…”

?: “What were you doing?”

J: “yes, what were we doing?”

P (stuttering, pulling his hair): “well, y— err, I don’t really know, you know, but it’s like, we totally sort of put our own personalities on there […]”

Ringo laughing, cut to John grinning
