I know I'm dipping my toe into dangerous waters, but the biggest takeaway from Get Back and Paul/Peter's narrativization of the Beatles was really just how much pain and resentment Paul is still holding 60 years later. Which isn't something I can personally judge, given that I haven't been alive for 60 years, much less had an event from 60 years ago heavily influence my ensuing life path, but it does feel like a reflection of his intense antipathy to any kind of self reflection or processing and how this precludes any real possibility that his personal interpretation of his life story will ever change. He's the same guy 60 years later and he sees things the same way, and that's both comforting and a little sad.

okay but can we PLEASE talk about the absolute LIES some of you spread about john lennon’s looks?? “ugly”?? “not handsome”?? are we LOOKING at the same man??

because let’s dissect this crime against humanity:

- that face is LITERALLY a medieval portrait come to life—aristocratic oval, sharp yet delicate, like someone carved him out of history itself

- the EYES. THE EYES. hypnotic almond shape, long straight lashes, the kind of gaze that could either seduce you or dissect your soul

- THE NOSE!!! (we don’t even need to elaborate. it’s a sculpture.)

- and his aura?? PURE SUNLIT CHAOS. a smiley, wild-haired ginger cat with the energy of a flaming comet. fire incarnate.

He had this magnetic pull that attracted everyone

this man was art in human form. if you disagree, i respect your right to be objectively wrong (and also fear for your vision).

...and yes, you could just fall asleep in those straight, bushy eyebrows of his...

What’s the use of worrying
