“The last time John Lennon set foot on a concert stage, it was Thanksgiving 1974, making a surprise appearance with his friend Elton John at a sold-out Madison Square Garden. When he and Elton cut “Whenever Gets You Thru” together, proposed a bet— if it hit Number One, John would sing it with him live. John agreed, never thinking he’d get called on it. But he was. The performance sounds shaky— John’s all nerves after a few years of hiding from live shows— but he steps up there to mach schau with Elton, doing the hit as well as Elton’s remake of “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds.” John announces, “We thought we’d do one last number so I can get out of here and be sick. This is a number of an old estranged fiancé of mine called Paul.” They do “I Saw Her Standing There,” their big finale. Even in the raw recording Elton released as a B-side, you can hear John get caught up in the crowd’s excitement. It’s his night to shine onstage in New York, for the first time in years and the last time ever. Why is he doing a Paul song? Why is he making this moment about him and Paul, when all anybody wants is to cheer and shower John with love? But in the middle of the crowd, he calls Paul’s name”
Last year, Rob Sheffield put out a book called Dreaming The Beatles. One of the chapters, chapter 4 is called “I Call Your Name”. The chapter is not that long, actually, but is dedicated, pretty much exclusively to John and Paul and their relationship. The book is a nice read, and it’s easy to digest, because Rob pulls quotes by both John and Paul, and other biographers, and his style reads more like a friend telling you all about the four boys from Liverpool that he adores..
it will end in tears
Paul pulls John closer to him
here's a hastily thrown together edit draft i made back when the season 5 finale came out. i just tucked it away and forgot about it instead of posting it, i guess lol.
i still think the song kinda fits?? idk??
i don't usually post edits on here, but if you guys wouldn't be mad about it lmk, and i might start posting some every now and then!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GEORGE HARRISON! 1943 — ∞
Everyone feel welcome to the official profile of the #McLennonPride 2020!
Are you guys excited? Cause I sure am! So, without further ado, here it is everything that awaits us!
Alright, let’s start with the most important thing: when will the #McLennonPride be?
The #McLennonPride will happen in the Mclennon day, 6th of july 2020, starting at midnight and ending 11:59 pm from the other day.
But what is #McLennonPride? The tag was created last year (2019) with the main objective being showing our love for Mclennon to Paul. And that’s our motto!
The main idea of the tag isn’t staying only in the shipp, actually that’s the less important part, the main objective is showing that we love Paul’s and John’s friendship to Paul!
In a lot of interviews Paul gets uncomfortable when John’s name is brought up, and we understand that, but he said that sometimes he doubts if they were really friends. And we here to show him that, not only were they friends, but they were soulmates!
We want him to feel comfortable to talk about John and that, no matter what, we’ll always be here to give love and support, because this is our job as a fandom.
Of course is inevitable for us to end up talking about the shipp, but we want you to just show your love for McLennon, no matter if you see them as just friends or as a couple. Just show your love”
So now, we can talk about the new things for the #McLennonPride 2020, right?
As you can see, we have this page to give updates and control the tag properly, but we also created an YouTube channel to gather the edits that will be posted on the day, and also a Twitter!
That’s all news that we have about the tag, so we can go back to the old news, right?
WHAT YOU CAN DO IN THE DAY OF THE #McLennonPride
1 - You can help the tag anyway you want. Fanarts, tweets, posts, fanfictions, threads, colorization, edits, profile photos, headers, anything! You’ll be really welcome to help how you think it’s better.
2 - You don’t need to use both of the plataforms, you can use just the Twitter or just the Tumblr, but of course, if you want, would be great to use both of them, connecting the two sides of the fandom.
3 - Show your love and have fun! We want this to be a great day and that’s why we did all this organization, we need more love and support on the world and we here for it!
See y'all soon, in the next #McLennonPride inform, stay in peace!
