“We Walked Toward The Sun And Slipped Through A Copse Of Weeping Willow. There In The Middle Of A Field

“We walked toward the sun and slipped through a copse of weeping willow. There in the middle of a field of wildflowers were two huge boulders weighing several tons and standing one atop the other like a pair of giant granite acrobats. “Are those the work of a sculptor?” I asked. “No,” [George] said, “they came from opposite ends of the property, but we moved them here and stacked them in this field. Everyone wants to know about them. In fact, when Ringo came round for a visit last summer, he asked about them, as well. I told him that Paul’s record company had sent them as a promo for his new album, Standing Stone. Ringo was really miffed that he hadn’t gotten his standing stones, but I said they’d probably only posted them to A-list people.” Liverpool accents always sound to me like a joke is coming, but Harrison’s wit was deadpan and dead-on.”

— Paul Simon, c/o Rolling Stone: Harrison: By the Editors of Rolling Stone. (2002)

Int: It’s Possible - You Know This As Well As Anybody Does. It’s Possible That All Of You Will Be

Int: It’s possible - you know this as well as anybody does. It’s possible that all of you will be best known not for your individual work but because you were Beatles. Does that trouble you at all?

George: No, not at all because who are we anyway, you know? I mean, even if they knew me as me - George Harrison - they don’t really know me. It doesn’t matter what they remember you for. It’s really what you attain for your own personal self that counts. 

“Y’know, it’s something that other people see us as The Beatles, and I try to see us as The Beatles, but I can’t.” - Scene and Heard (1967)  

“To be able to deal with these people thinking you were some wonderful thing - it was difficult to come to terms with. I was feeling, you know, like nothing. Even now I look back and see, relative to a lot of other groups, The Beatles did have something. But it’s a bit too much to accept that we’re supposedly the designers of this incredible change. In many ways we were just swept along with everybody else.” -  Rolling Stone (1987)

“I don’t mean to sound mysterious or try to baffle anyone, but when people come up to me expecting me to be just like what they thought a Beatle would be, they’re disappointed. I never was a Beatle, except musically. I don’t think any of us was. What is a Beatle anyway? I’m not a Beatle or an ex-Beatle or even the George Harrison. I’m just a man. Very ordinary.” - Men Only (1978)

“Like Chance, the main character in Being There (one of George’s favorite books), he wanted to just ‘be there’ in his garden, in his solitude, with his hands in the dirt. He didn’t want to ‘be’ anything but a man who loved music, the earth, women, and God.” - Chris O’Dell

John Lennon In Stuart Sutcliffe’s Studio, 45a Eimsbütteler Strasse, Altona, Hamburg, photographed

John Lennon in Stuart Sutcliffe’s studio, 45a Eimsbütteler Strasse, Altona, Hamburg, photographed by Astrid Kirchherr. (May, 1962)

-

Why can’t we go for other people to heaven? John asks me that—he said he would go for Stuart to heaven because Stuart was such a marvelous boy and he is nothing.

— Astrid Kirchherr, letter to Millie Sutcliffe. (May 30th, 1962)

You're Telling Me Being In Close Proximity To This In His Teens And Twenties Meant Nothing To John Lennon,
You're Telling Me Being In Close Proximity To This In His Teens And Twenties Meant Nothing To John Lennon,
You're Telling Me Being In Close Proximity To This In His Teens And Twenties Meant Nothing To John Lennon,

You're telling me being in close proximity to this in his teens and twenties meant nothing to John Lennon, a man fighting bisexuality? Sure. Sure. Let's just go out and tell lies.

I’ve only listened one time to Paul’s new single, “Get Enough,” which he released on midnight of New Year’s 2019, and I already know for sure that it is a song for John. Paul sings about walking on the docks with his love, knowing that he’ll need that person forever, being young together, full of hope, dreaming of the future. Remembering that person’s face. He’ll never get enough of that person. Does the other person remember, as Paul does? It’s about their “early days” (as Paul calls it in another truly great song for John) in Liverpool, and their rise to the toppermost of the poppermost.  It’s full of longing and love. Even though the refrain goes “I can’t get enough, girl,” I know that Paul and John both used “girl” and “woman” and “she” and “her” when they wrote and sang songs to and for each other, often.  I know that on the other side, John is listening to it and loves it.

You know what pretty privilege actually looks like? That story where 66 Paul parks his car in the middle of the road with the doors open and the radio on and the cop parks it for him and hands him the keys like he's his fucking chauffeur. VS that story where 66 John ends up in a high-speed chase because he doesn't want to sign autographs and the cop pulls him over and makes him sign until his pursuers are satisfied.
