why is every beatles movie just a journey where ringo is being pursued by a strange man who seems untrustworthy (pauls grandfather, the cult leader, the scientists, old fred, jeremy, michael lindsay hogg)

all the other beatles: ugh we are so lost without a manager :((

paul mcfreakney: yes. we need a BIG DADDY to hold us in his LARGE ARMS

Get Back Rewatch 55 Years On: Day 17

George is so sweet to put so much effort into helping Ringo write his song and to not ask for any kind of writing credit. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, right? But also, I’d do that for Ringo too if I were him. Ringo deserves it for everything he’s given to that band and the little credit he’s received. 

“What am I playing, Richie?” “You’ll be on drooms.” If the Beatles know how to do one thing, it’s be cute. 

John, stop talking about Paul’s strong arms, you're embarrassing yourself. 

I do have to just include this here. From my Get Back book. I never heard, “was it sexually oriented?” on the nagra reels, but apparently that’s what Peter Jackson’s cleaned-up version gave him, and again, he was like, “hmm. Too gay.” 

He’s known Heather for how long? Less than a year, right? But if somebody had showed me just this footage and told me he’d raised her from a newborn, I would not blink an eye. That kind of tired but fond interaction is exactly how a dad plays with his kid. And she’s climbing all over him and bossing him around like he’s never not been in her life. It’s beautiful. 

And John, with his “are you going to eat them?” is the perfect sort of bad-example favorite uncle. The kind that would check her out of school when she’s older and go get her ears pierced when her dad had said she was too young. 

Sorry, I promise I’m not just going to be thirsting over dad Paul this whole time. I have to just make one thing clear, and this is the only thing I’ll say on the subject and then I’m done. If a man is a 3 and a good dad, he’s a 10. Paul was already an 11, so I’m literally just done-for. Okay, I’ll shut up. 

John and Paul doing their usual thing, only paying attention to each other. Talking about an Elvis gospel ending for Let it Be. George, smirking, stands up: and we’ll all kneel as you do it. If John had said it, Paul would be in stitches. But George said it, and he might as well have never opened his mouth for all the notice he gets. And it’s honestly heartbreaking, if you can take your eyes off of the insanity of John and Paul’s weird eye-contact, to watch George’s face go from excited at his own wit and hopeful for a laugh to just completely downcast. Twelve years of that. Twelve years. 

Ringo, you’re an absolute saint. He’s being so sweet to Heather, even letting her mess with his symbols, and then Paul has the audacity to tell him to “keep it lighter.” Like. Paul. Do you think that maybe the fact that he’s got a five-year-old over there “helping” him might have anything to do with how the drums are coming out? Just a thought. Anyone else would at least have something to say about it. Ringo just sort of nods along but he looks SO tired.

TFW you’re inspiring the next generation of women to be loud and free and take up space.

“Dig it” is actually insane to me. I know I’m crazy, but remember those twin dreams they had about buried treasure when they first met? “If you want it, you can dig it up.” ???

When George and Paul just jump into harmonizing together when they’re talking about The Long and Winding Road arrangement? Their voices are like magic together. I wish they would’ve had George sing that part in the final thing, actually.  

1969 puts me in shambles because they all look so done and overly sad, everyone knew this was the end

I didn’t expect impending tyranny to generate so much creativity and wit so quickly. I knew about it from history. Artists and musicians and writers are the first to be persecuted because they are the truth-tellers. Still, it’s been so fast and it buoys my spirit. It’s inspiring and I think people are creating magic. We all have such instant access and ability to disseminate information everywhere. We are crowdsourcing a revolution. People will be studying these slogans one day. The enormity of it. Massive it is. Cheers to the OG hammer legends. They are one of the still points in my turning world.

So, recommendation info…

Check out Elis James and John Robins. Right now they are on the BBC in a totally not confusing great reset podcast only format that is recorded once a week, podcasted twice a week and the highlights broadcast as a pre-recorded show on Friday afternoons on BBC5.

But go back to the earliest radio x/xfm unproducable days. Be a retro oner pcd.

See we did understand the great reset. We also now understand why ticket pricing, dynamic or static, is a dance. Nesta James is the best of eggs and is responsible for everyone in South Wales having a career. Toasties should never cost more than 4 euros. Sat Navs are a minefield Lynn. RIP Sat Nav Dad, seemed like another good egg. Stat Man Ross deserves only good things. Vin. Also, thanks Vin for introducing me to Vulfpeck. In the paddock.

So, listen to them. It’s a journey. It’s a good one. 🛎️

THEY WERE MEAN TO HIM

If the Nostromo crew started a band...

As a huge Alien AND Beatles fan, this is too good
