“I Used To Pretend I Could Speak French, Because Everyone Wanted To Be Like Sacha Distel, Or Juliette

“I used to pretend I could speak French, because everyone wanted to be like Sacha Distel, or Juliette Greco was actually who you wanted to be like, even though she was a girl, because she had the feel of it all: that French existential thing, they were all in turtlenecks and black and down the bohemian clubs. It was bohemia!”

“I Used To Pretend I Could Speak French, Because Everyone Wanted To Be Like Sacha Distel, Or Juliette

“So I used to sit around and murmur. It was my Maurice Chevalier meets Juliette Greco moment: me trying to be enigmatic to make girls think, “Who’s that very interesting French guy over in the corner?” I would literally use it as that, and John knew this was one of my ploys.”

—Paul McCartney, Many Years from Now

“I Used To Pretend I Could Speak French, Because Everyone Wanted To Be Like Sacha Distel, Or Juliette

“I'd always had a fantasy about a woman who would be a beautiful, intelligent, dark-haired, high-cheek-boned, free-spirited artist (à la Juliette Greco).

My soul mate.”

—John Lennon, Skywriting by Word of Mouth

“I Used To Pretend I Could Speak French, Because Everyone Wanted To Be Like Sacha Distel, Or Juliette

remember that sexuality is a spectrum that flows and is changeable, they both experienced a lot during their lives, so... the discussion is not about their sexuality but... were they in love in any sense? answer: yes. End of discussion.

early beatles writing sessions

paul: okay, we have to come up with some ideas for the next album. so i was thinking—

john: i have an idea for a song about how im a piece of shit fat ugly bitch with no friends and is hated by everyone and should die. i’m going to call it Dumbfuck Asshole About To Kill Himself.

paul: ……right! cool! i was thinking more along the lines of “i love you girl and want to dance with you” but that’s really good too!

my favorite lesbian is John Lennon

Only John can sympathize with the feminine hysteria of a lesbian teen girl going to art school. If I told him anything I've ever done he would jump in with his own story. I may have 1000 Paul pictures and a body pillow of Paul but that's only because my psyche is in line with lesbian John lennon

what is beyond what we cannot see but can feel? life is more than just plans, love is more than just an emotion, death is more than just the end, what I believe in is more than just an illusion.
