To Celebrate Ian Leslie's Long Anticipated Biography Of John & Paul, Here Is A Look At A Vintage McLennon

"With Ringo's self-explanatory 2004 collection Postcards from the Boys reproducing Lennon's missives to him, moreover, the absence of any letters from Lennon to McCartney is perhaps most conspicuous in Hunter Davies' book [The John Lennon Letters]. He tells me he did approach McCartney, however: "Paul said he had two letters from John, but they were personal."

Based purely on nothing but my own head canon I've decided that Good Omens: The Movie is going to be 15 minutes of setting up and defeating the next threat to humanity while Crowley simultaneously rescues Aziraphale, then 75 minutes of Crowley and Aziraphale planning and attending their wedding in Hogback Wood, which is Adam's Garden of Eden. Adam will perform a small miracle to make his parents feel like they've known Aziraphale and Crowley for many years, otherwise they're going to wonder a bit too much how their son knows two middle-aged strangers well enough to host their wedding.

Look at my sassy angel. He wants to know what's on your mind. Then he's going to tell you whether you're right or not. But either way he loves you and forgives you. ♥️

Ian Leslie's favorite songs that remind him of John + Paul ❤️❤️❤️

He has Jealous Guy and (Just Like) Starting Over on the list! That is huge! Those songs are both very important to the McLennon story. This is amazing. According to Paul, John told him that he wrote Jealous Guy because of the way he had treated Paul. It was a song of love, asking for forgiveness. (Just Like) Starting Over is also for Paul from John. As far as I know Paul has never talked about this, but his old Wings bandmate, Denny Laine, said that after John died, Paul locked himself in his studio, bawling and playing that song over and over. It obviously means a great deal to him.

One very important song that's missing is the collaboration between Paul and Carl Perkins, My Old Friend. The lyrics came to Carl, almost out of nowhere, and they reminded Paul so much of John that he started crying and excused himself. Carl felt bad but Linda reassured him that Paul finding an outlet for his emotions was exactly what he needed.

(Hopefully I didn't get any facts wrong. I'm having trouble finding everything I'm looking for tonight, to double check.)

I didn't like the Gabriel/Beelzebub story. I know it's meant to parallel Aziraphale and Crowley but Nina/Maggie already does that much better. Besides I think it detracts from Aziracrow Endgame by having two of the most powerful supernatural beings on opposite sides fall in love first. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Just read the cutest interview with Ringo 🥦

Cat pic for the cat people out there. All five were rescues, my daughter and her friend grabbed the grey one at the top from a gas station when she was drinking out of the blue washer fluid/water near the pumps. I'm fine with pedigree cats too, though, no hate. 😊

Did this a second time and got better main results but the questions are weird as hell and for me, comedy should be much, much higher. Mystery science theater 3000 is my absolute favorite TV show and movie of all time. I like funny. The recommendations they gave were good, some of them were already on my TBW list.

Here are my initial recommendations: Buffy, Dresden Files, Merlin (3 great choices), Lowlifes (haven't heard of it but she looks like a vampire?), Synchronic (never heard of that one), Better Watch Out (maybe more vampires?), Cake Boss (hell yeah, I love cooking shows. If they had picked the great British baking show or Nailed It that would've been astonishingly accurate), We Got Time Today (never heard of this one either), The Real Side Chicks of Los Angeles (I would never believe this was a real show if I hadn't seen it in the list. Side chicks 🤣🤣)

Saw Lisa Frankenstein with my husband tonight. The leads were fun but Taffy was the absolute best 😊.

I'm on chapter 33 Oh! Darling and istg if Ian Leslie doesn't mention the Oh! Johnnys I'm going to riot. This guy LISTENS to music, he catches the theme, the meaning, the secret messages of every single note so if he somehow misses that very obvious switch from darling to Johnny and back... Seriously, the Johnnys are screamed in your face, babe.

It goes darling, darling, Johnny, Johnny, darling-- God, I love that song! Grrrr!!
