“But what had really got Paul upset that day was an interview with Yoko in which Yoko was quoted as saying that Paul had hurt John more than any other person. Paul thought they were amongst the cruelest words he had ever read. ‘No one ever goes on about the times John hurt me,’ said Paul. 'When he called my music Muzak. People keep on saying I hurt him, but where’s the examples, when did I do it? No one ever says. It’s just always the same, blaming me. Could I have hurt John more than anyone in the world? More than the person who ran down Julia in his car? 'We were always in competition. I wrote “Penny Lane,” so he wrote “Strawberry Fields.” That was how it was. But that was in composition. I can’t understand why Yoko is saying this. The last time I spoke to her she was great. She told me she and John had just been playing one of my albums and had cried.’”

— Paul McCartney; from the Postscript chapter of The Beatles by Hunter Davies

when it's the 60s and u can't get married to your best friend bc you're both men so you just tangle up your names and assets and business and money and songs into one gigantic legal monster because SURELY you're lasting together forever and then you have to go through the world's first gay divorce in the 70s and it's 10x more complicated than an actual divorce bc it wasn't actually a marriage. and also there's 2 other guys there you fucked over in the process. well this did happen to my good friends sir paul mccartney and john lennon

Beatles lore has the best side characters. There's the snobby 28-year-old film director (illegitimate son of Orson Welles no less) who's WAY too interested in mclennon and desperately wants to put all the Beatles in a desert. There's the aspiring author who hated Paul sooooooo bad but still dated him so she could write a book where he cries a bunch and she calls him a pussy. There's an evil LSD dentist. There's Magic Alex. I could go on.

see i think paul's vibe radar was mid but his bad friends were at their worst professional acquaintances who screwed him over and at their least worst posh people who probably made fun of him behind his back. like it was an even mix that leaned towards alright vibes overall.

george's vibe radar was also mid but unlike paul he was swinging for the fences in both directions. best of the best and worst of the worst. eric clapton was his best friend.

idk who ringo was hanging out with outside of the group besides harry nilsson and peter sellers so really his worst vibe check afaik was the other three.

john was a textbook cult target and the only reason he didn't fall into one is pure happenstance.
