“I took the last ever shot of the Beatles – and they were miserable!”
Ethan Russell
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the counter-culture
Sexual intercourse began (which was rather late for me) – Between the end of the “Chatterley” ban And the Beatles’ first LP.
Up to then there’d only been A sort of bargaining, A wrangle for the ring, A shame that started at sixteen And spread to everything.
Then all at once the quarrel sank: Everyone felt the same, And every life became A brilliant breaking of the bank, A quite unlosable game.
So life was never better than In nineteen sixty-three (Though just too late for me) – Between the end of the “Chatterley” ban And the Beatles’ first LP.
Annus Mirabilis by Philip Larkin
John Lennon meeting Miles Davis during a Garden Party on June 12, 1971 at Allen Klein’s house. I am not sure what Davis and Lennon talked about, but video footage shows that they played a little game of one-on-one basketball (neither of them were very good) with John’s psychedelic Rolls in the background. A wide variety of people were at the party, including Andy Warhol, but Miles Davis was the person that John was photographed the most with that day.
