John Lennon and Paul McCartney outside BBC Paris Studios, Lower Regent Street, London. 4th April 1963 - part two (part one, part three)
one of my favorite johnpaul moments that i think about very often is that time when paul mccartney like idiot doofus the third told tv reporters that he's taken LSD and obviously got backlash and was explaining himself to a journalist and john jumped in like Yeah well the Tv Reporters shouldn't have fucking Reported on it it's not Paul's fault He got asked a Question what do you want him to do Lie? You want us to fucking Lie? This is all the fault of Big Media. Fuck you. and paul is sitting beside him like Yeah... :)
ON THIS DAY, May 15th 1967, LINDA EASTMAN & PAUL McCARTNEY met for the first time at the Bag O’ Nails club.
“ Across a crowded room, as they say, our eyes met and the violins started playing ... There was an immediate attraction between us. As she was leaving -- she was with the group the Animals, whom she’d been photographing –- I saw an obvious opportunity. I said: “My name’s Paul. What’s yours?” I think she probably recognised me. It was so corny, but I told the kids later that, had it not been for that moment, none of them would be here. Later that night, we went on together to another club, the Speakeasy. It was our first date and I remember I heard Procol Harum’s A Whiter Shade of Pale for the first time. It became our song. “
— Paul McCartney.

Paul by Linda, 1968
What I liked about Paul when I lived there in London [September and October 1968] was the books that were around and painting. Paul would say, ‘Let’s paint,’ and he and Ivan Vaughan would get paints and go down in the basement and the three of us would paint on the canvas. It was fun. Paul is so much more cerebral than people think, because he was quote ‘the cute Beatle’. I hate this ‘Was it John or was it Paul?’ thing because they were both talented. They were both artists. They are equal for number one.

“George told me once that I smelt like home. I got all paranoid, you know, thinking I smelt of fish and chip shops or dirty bars or something. But he said no, I just always smelt of home.” — Paul McCartney
“It used to be PaulnGeorge… as one word. They were the kids from the grammar school. That’s how we referred to them. For ages we didn’t even know George really, he was just ‘Paul’s mate’.” — Len Garry
“The papers try and stir things and act like there’s some kind of problem, but at the end of the day, I love him, he’s my mate and that’s all there is to it.” — George Harrison
“Paul and George always ganged up on people. Like Stuart. They could get pretty bitchy.” — John Lennon
“They used to spend all of their spare time together. Even the school holidays.” — Hunter Davis
“George didn’t mind slagging Paul off. But he HATED other people doing it.” — Tom Petty
