Ok, here it is. We've had the 'insane things Paul has said about John' list, now here's 'insane things John has said about Paul'*
*Note: Some of these are āJohn said to meā quotes rather than words from John himself, so take these ones with a grain of salt.
And because so much of Johnās Paul-induced insanity reflected in his actions, some (dis)honourable mentionsā¦
Cutting up a girl's clothes and calling her a whore for sleeping with Paul (from the Beatles Anthology book)
Being mean to Jane when Paul first meets her
Defending Paul after the LSD controversy time and time again
Writing 'I'm always perfect' on a photo of Paul and 'funeral' on a photo of Paul & Linda's wedding
Getting upset about Too Many People and writing How Do You Sleep in response
Mocking the Ram photo with a pig
Using the 'Let Me Roll It' riff in Beef Jerky
Having a fight with Yoko and immediately running off to Paris
Other icebergsā¦

"One girl very shyly gave George a button badge which said āGeorge for PM.ā āWhy would Paul McCartney want you?ā said John to George.ā - Hunter Daviesā The Beatles: The Authorised Biography (1968) (submitted by @didwemeetsomewherebefore)
John: "I was trying to put it 'round that I was gay, you know-- I thought that would throw them off⦠dancing at all the gay clubs in Los Angeles, flirting with the boys⦠but it never got off the ground." Q: "I think I've only heard that lately about Paul." John: "Oh, I've had him, he's no good." - 1975 interview (submitted by @johns-prince)
And I had a little upstairs, an unusable upstairs, and I kept a radio up there. Very faint. All of a sudden John said, "Is that Paul?" I thought it was somebody he knew named Paul. I didn't see anybody walk by. I said, "No." On the radio, Paul McCartney. We never mentioned anything about The Beatles. This little, low sound you could barely hear, he picked it right up. So, it just made me aware of how much attuned he was with The Beatles after they broke up.. - Gary Tracy, John's optometrist
John: "I've always thought there was this underlying thing in Paul's 'Get Back.' When we were in the studio recording it, every time he sang the line 'Get back to where you once belonged,' he'd look at Yoko." - 1980 interview (submitted by @johns-prince)
But in mid-January 1973 Lennon and Ono quarrelled publicly at another party. āI wish I was back with Paul,ā Lennon reportedly said. - Peter Doggett, You Never Give Me Your Money: The Battle for the Soul of The Beatles. (2009) (submitted by @notgrungybitchin)
'From time to time John would say to me ''I wonder what Paul is thinking about, right now.'' I said John, I've only met him a couple of times in my life you know ⦠I have no idea. And John would ask ''Do you think he thinks about me at all?''' - Elliot Mintz (submitted by @thewalrusespublicist )
āHe was always saying, āI wonder what Paul is doing.ā When John and I were together, and this is about a week or two before our relationship ended, I remember him saying, āDo you think I should write with Paul again?ā I said, āAbsolutely. You should because you want to. The two of you as solo performers are good, but together you canāt be beaten.ā - May Pang
āYeah, I miss Paul a lot. Itās been a year since Iāve seen him. He came over with Linda to me place in New York. Course Iād love to see him again. Heās an old friend, isnāt he?ā - 1974 interview
"I never thought weād come to that, because I didnāt think we were that stupid. But we were naĆÆve enough to let people come between us." - 1971 interview
āPaul? My dear oneā - 1980 interview (submitted by @didwemeetsomewherebefore)

Manolo Cardona, as Santiago, in Contracorriente (Undertow, 2009).
CONTRACORRIENTE (2009) dir. Javier Fuentes-León Miguel is a young fisherman of Cabo Blanco, a small village in northern Peru with specific traditions regarding death. He is married to Mariela, who is pregnant with their first son, but he also has a secret affair with a male painter called Santiago who he meets for trysts at a deserted cave on the coast. Santiago accidentally drowns at sea, and his ghost returns to ask Miguel to find his body, in order to bury it with their villageās rituals. (link in title)
The whole idea of calling it āLennon-McCartneyā instead of Paul Lennon and John McCartney⦠other way roundā¦
Paul McCartney interviewed by Joe Smith, 22 October 1987
hiii @justquicksshot its your secret valentine <333
My vague backstory is that it's 1947 and they go to a club on valentines to check out an act 'for research' and end up on the dancefloor as a joke and then of course theyāre playing some enchanted evening from south pacific so they aren't joking. Well it never was a joke in the first place was it. and you can tell its 1947 by jerry's hair and that banner and that's it. hope u enjoyed <33
Do you think George ever knew about John's erotic dreams?
I'm not sure if George ever knew. Two of the books that mention the dreams came out in 2000 so George was still alive but he could be too busy (or traumatized) to pay attention to biographers by then.
Saying that, I think Paul was aware of the books.
The book Nowhere Man was published on July 2000. Here is the mention of the dream about George.
3 months later, Paul talked about how people could have gay dreams and still be heterosexual and how you cannot have control over those dreams.
Literally, I'm a copy of himš
