Hi, I am Chinese mclennon fan, and I'm new to the couple.So could you introduce me some biography about John and Paul?Thank you very much! I love you ❤️😘💕

You are welcome!

I think it’s important you first read a couple of biographies separately first.

When choosing a book about John and Paul, I think it’s very important to decide first what you want to know about them.

If you want the typical journalist/critic biography, an objective point of view of the facts, I suggest you ‘Many years from now’ for Paul, it’s seen as the almost official biography about Paul (even if last year Philip Norman has published a book about him too, more than 1,000 pages about Paul’s life. I haven’t read it yet but you can give it a look?)

If you want the perspective of someone close to them, which in my opinion is always the best choice, cause these are the people who really know what happened, I suggest you Mike McCartney’s book about his brother ‘The Macs, Mike McCartney’s family album’, he really does a good job showing his family roots, telling so many untold stories about Paul with never-seen-before pictures of the family. He tells the story from the beginning to now.

For John, the two suggestions are:

If you want the journalist/objective point of view, pick Philip Norman ‘John Lennon: The life’, he really was one of the first writers that tried to show a different image of the man everyone know, sometimes going into deep waters, showing his dark side. Philip Norman got critics from the papers and Yoko and Paul cause in the book he writes about John’s sexuality, his ‘love’ for Paul and his bisexuality, he really was one of the first journalist to try investigate about it and I think he did a really good job.

If you want a closer look, someone who’s been with him from childhood, pick Pete Shotton ‘John Lennon: In My life’, or Cynthia’s book ‘John’, or Julia Baird ‘Imagine this’. From all the 3 I rec you the first one, cause it’s the look of a friend, who doesn’t have resentments against someone so it’s a kinda objective point of view.

For a Mclennon book I rec you these, you can read here my reviews

- If you want to know more about the songs they wrote for each other, read ‘Lennon vs McCartney’ by Adam Thomas

- Powers of Two by Joshua Wolf Shank, for a psychoanalitic analysis of their creativity partnership

-Pick one from ‘Lennon-McCartney, the story of music’s greatest songwriting duo’ by Charles River or ‘John Lennon and Paul McCartney, their magic and their music’ by Bruce Glassman.

-‘The day John met Paul’ by Jim O’ Donnell is all about July 6 1957, the day they met. It‘s really nice.

Have fun! :)

No Words by Paul McCartney. “It’s only me. I love you”

This song was released in 1973, it’s on the brilliant Band on The Run album. What i love about this song is that it doesn’t make us think maybe it’s for John Lennon, it IS for John Lennon, no doubt. Keep in mind two main points that are obvious:

-  All You Need Is Love, lyrics by John;

- This quote:  “One of my great memories of John was when we were having some argument. I was disagreeing and we were calling each other names. We let it settle for a second, and he lowered his glasses and he said, ‘It’s only me’ and then he put his glasses back on again.  To me, that was John. Those were the moments when I actually saw him without the façade, the armour, which I loved as well, like anyone else. But it was wonderful when he let the visor down and you’d just see the John Lennon that he was frightened to reveal to the world.“  (Paul McCartney,  Come Together: Lennon & McCartney in the Seventies by Richard White, 2016). Song “No Words” Lyrics: You want to give your love away And end up giving nothing I’m not surprised, that your black eyes are gazing You say that love is everything And what we need the most of I wish you knew, that’s just how true my love was No words for my love You’re burning love, sweet burning love It’s deep inside, You mustn’t hide, your burning love Sweet burning love, your burning love You want to turn your head away And someone’s thinking of you I wish you’d see, it’s only me, I love you No words for my love By Paul Mccartney

There's a reason why Armand became my favorite character in QotD during the Devil's Minion chapter. Because for once, we were seeing Armand for who he is and not as the villain in someone else's story. For once, we truly see him through Daniel's eyes. Because Daniel knows Armand's faults. He knows his good qualities, too. He has reasons to both love him and despise him. He adores him, yet he is beyond frustrated with him for not giving him what he wants and making him a vampire because he wants to be with him forever. Daniel's perspective on Armand is probably one of the least biased in the series despite the fact that this is a series full of unreliable narrators. No one portrays Armand as more of himself than Daniel. Not Lestat, Louis, Marius, or even Armand himself. Daniel sees Armand in all his facets. The gentle and thoughtful young man. The ghastly and loathsome creature that has devoured a million lives. The absolute weirdo who becomes obsessed with blenders and other human technology and watches Bladerunner over and over again. The immortal idiot who breaks into his room in the middle of the night demanding he call Paris. The guy who takes care of him and drags him to art shows and hunts pirates and kills drug smugglers to buy the two of them a literal island. Armand's no longer the charming and manipulative vampire who Louis blames for Claudia's death. He's no longer the deranged yet beautiful cultist Lestat met. He's no longer Marius's tragic, Botticelli angel. He's just Armand. Just a weird little guy with a fascination with blenders who wants to be loved but is not well versed in the language of romance and who loves Daniel and would rather die than see him dead but would also rather die than make him a vampire because he doesn't want to damn him. Just Armand.

“Even when they weren’t in the same room, they were writing Lennon-McCartney songs. Even after they broke up, they kept bouncing songwriting ideas off each other, aiming answer records at each other. They gave each other no peace. That friendship followed them around their whole lives. I love the story John’s limo driver tells — it’s 1980, John is in the back of the car, listening to the radio, really enjoying this new hit song called “Coming Up,” wondering who the singer is. Then suddenly he says, “Fuck a pig, it’s Paul.” They couldn’t get away from each other.”

— Dreaming the Beatles: An Interview with Rob Sheffield

I WANNA DIE

wait can you please post the pete shotten quote? im interested in it but dont gave access to the book

since other people asked me to publish it I’ll do it:

“I decided to wait another two days before calling John again; when I finally did so, it was Yoko who answered their private line. Several more minutes passed before John came to the phone, and it quickly became apparent that he wasn’t really taking in whatever it was I was telling him. I could also hear the muffled noise of Yoko talking in the background, causing John eventually to place his hand over the receiver and engage her in heated conversation. “Look, Yoko,” I heard John say, “he’s fucking come over, and that’s that!” 

“Not again…” I groaned to myself. “After all these years….” I even toyed with the idea of canceling, but in the end decided that if John and I both wished to see one another, then that should be our preprogative - and Yoko be damned. 

Unaware that I’d overheard any of their exchange, John suggested i give them a buzz when I arrived at the Dakota; we’d then proceed directly to his favorite Japanese restaurant. 

When John and Yoko emerged into the Dakota’s foyer, both of them seemed unusually uptight - at least with one another. John, moreover, looked far more drawn and pale than he had two nights earlier; and throughout much of the evening, his features were to remain locked in an expression of grave intensity. 

His dinner conversation, however, flowed as volubly as it had on the previous occasion - only this time he spoke almost exclusively about mysticism and the occult, while Yoko remained totally mute. He told me about his having sighted a flying saucer over the East River from his apartment window, and described in glowing terms the book of Carlos Castaneda. He also said he believed the theory that we all have two distinct selves - a “little I” and a “big I”.

“Still on the old fucking search, then, John?” I laughed.

“Yeah, Pete” he nodded. “It doesn’t ever seem to end, does it?”

John brightened up somewhat by the time we got back to Dakota, where we chatted in his white living room for another couple of hours. But he was plainly very tired, and since he had another Japanese lesson the following morning, I decided to push off at around two o’clock.

After I put on my shoes, John and Yoko walked me out to the lift. Before shaking hands with John, I gave Yoko a little goodbye kiss: a deliberately cheeky gesture that was nonetheless my way of saying, “Come on, Yoko, let bygones be bygones - there’s really no need for any of this shit.”

“Cheerio, then, Pete! See you again soon, I hope!” John called after me, as the doors of the lift slid back into place.

“Give my love to England!”.

- From Pete Shotton “John Lennon, In my life”

Do think the funniest possible reaction from Louis upon finding out Daniel and Armand are a thing is schadenfreude. I mean canonically he’s not above delighting a little in Daniel’s suffering. He’s like well well how the turn tables… had to put up with all that shit from Daniel during the interview about how his boyfriend sucked and was a liar and a control freak and Louis was a fool for staying with him, etc etc but ohhhhh look who’s the fool now. Isn’t that funny, Daniel? Isn’t it funny how things work out sometimes? Right, Daniel? And meanwhile Daniel has never regretted the whole “he and Louis can now read each other’s minds” thing more

MCLENNON QUOTES AND PHOTOS

Well I’ve separated some quotes and related photos about mclennon for you guys to read how real this ship was. Enjoy.

QUOTES

Here are some quotes from books, people, or from John and Paul:

“John had a very close relationship to Paul on a different level than Stuart. His relationship to Paul was music. He admired and loved Paul.” - Astrid Kirchherr

“We wrote our first songs together, we grew up together, we lived our lives together.” - Paul McCartney

“John and Paul are essentially a legendary world-changing love affair that ends in heartbreak — like Burton and Taylor, but with no touching. They are the thing the other was looking for. A major part of their lives was settled the day they met at Woolton fair — they were completed, reborn and undone with each other.” - Caitlin Moran 

“Cynthia Lennon is a goddess, you know. Paul is a god. Aren’t I lucky to have such a religion?” - John Lennon

“Paul and I know each other on a lot of different levels that very few people know about.” - John Lennon

“There was a deeper love there that neither of us could admit to.” - Paul McCartney

“In continuing rebellion against their new bespoke image, John habitually left his top button undone and his tie crooked; often before they went onstage, in an almost wifely — or motherly —  gesture, Paul would stand him still and do up the button for him.” - Philip Norman: 

“John never looked at anyone the way he looked at Paul.“ - Cynthia Powell

“I was just the same as everyone else Harry, I fell for Paul’s looks.“ - John  Lennon to Harry Nilsson

“They’re like a old married couple with their kids.” - Ringo Starr

“They needed each other like mad.” - George Martin

“I always find myself wanting to excuse John’s behaviour, just because I loved him. It’s like a child, sure he’s a naughty child, but don’t you call my child naughty. Even if it’s me he’s shitting on, don’t you call him naughty.” - Paul McCartney

“The thing you must remember is that I’m the Number One John Lennon fan. I love him to this day and I always did love him” - Paul McCartney

“I’m the only person who is allowed to say nasty things about Paul. I don’t like it when other people do so.” - John Lennon

“John had beautiful hands.” - Paul McCartney

“I copped money for Family Way, the film music that Paul wrote while I was out of the country making How I Won the War,” said Lennon, laughing. “I said to Paul, ‘You’d better keep that’, and he said, ‘Don’t be soft.’ It’s the concept. We inspired each other so much in the early days. We write how we write now because of each other. Paul was there for five or ten years, and I wouldn’t write like I write now if it weren’t for Paul, and he wouldn’t write like he does if it weren’t for me.” - John Lennon

“It was like a tug of war. Imagine two people pulling on a rope, smiling at each other and pulling all the time with all their might. The tension between the two of them made for the bond.” - George Martin

After a late lunch, Linda launched into a long paean to the joys of living in England. When she was finished, she turned to John and said “Don’t you miss England?”, “Frankly”, John replied, “I miss Paris.” - May Pang, Loving John

“John is a central figure in my life. I will always be grateful for having so much intimate time with him. The more distant his stuff becomes, the greater he seems. I used to do caricatures of John. He was the only person I knew with an aquiline nose. When I painted him recently, I found myself saying: ‘How did his lips go? I can’t remember.’ Then I would think: ‘Of course you know, you wrote all those songs facing each other.’ ” - Paul McCartney

“I thought John was cheating on me with Paul” - Yoko Ono

“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.” - Paul McCartney

“I just saw a girl who said she saw John Lennon walking down the street in New York wearing a button that said, “I love Paul.” She asked him: “Why are you wearing an ‘I love Paul’ button?”, and he said: “Because I love Paul.” - Harry Nilsson

PHOTOS

Well, here are some photos. Remember Cynthia’s quote?
