So I made a post about this a few days ago but I didn't include the clip:
For context, right before this Paul is talking about his interest in Magritte and the inspiration behind the Apple logo and the Robert he refers to is Robert Fraser. Right after he says "i'm quite secure about my sexuality" he mumbles "yeah, don't know about that" as the audience laughs. And yes, like, to be charitable he could just be referencing the fact his friends still found it "weird" to go on a trip to Paris with a gay man but it's the first time I've heard Paul making reference to his sexuality that's not just him claiming he's straight, 'ungay', what have you (he also immediately brings up the s&m joke he had made earlier to brush past what he said). And I think it would be fair to say one interpretation is paul acknowledging that he wasn't exactly as "secure" about his sexuality as either he thought at the time or is now
Beatles in ColourĀ ā George Harrison in ORANGE & YELLOW For @radgeorgie
George Harrison and Bob Dylan, Concert for Bangladesh, 1 August 1971; photo by Bill Ray (?).
Q: āOne of the coups of [the Concert for] Bangladesh was Dylanās appearance, because he had done so little since his motorcycle accident in 1966. Was he initially reluctant to do Bangladesh?ā
George Harrison: āHe was. He never committed himself, right up until the moment he came onstage. On the night before Bangladesh, we sat in Madison Square Garden as the people were setting up the bandstand. He looked around the place and said to me, āHey, man, you know, this isnāt my scene.ā Iād had so many months⦠it seemed like a long time of trying to get it all together, and my head was reeling with all the problems and never. Iād gotten so fed up with him not being committed, I said, āLook, itās not my scene, either. At least youāve played on your own in front of a crowd before. Iāve never done that.ā So he turned up the next morning, which looked positive. I had a list, a sort of running order, that I had glued on my guitar. When I got to the point where Bob was going to come on, I had Bob with a question mark. I looked over my shoulder to see if he was around, because if he wasnāt, I would have to go on to do the next bit. And I looked around, and he was so nervous ā he had his guitar and his shades ā he was sort of coming on, coming [pumps his arms and shoulders]. So I just said, āMy old friend, Bob Dylan!ā It was only at that moment that I knew for sure he was going to do it. After the second show, he picked me up and hugged me and said, āGod! If only weād done three shows.āā - Rolling Stone, 5 November 1987 (x)

Oh my god it's John
Iāve only listened one time to Paulās new single, āGet Enough,ā which he released on midnight of New Yearās 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 heāll need that person forever, being young together, full of hope, dreaming of the future. Remembering that personās face. Heāll never get enough of that person. Does the other person remember, as Paul does? Itās about their āearly daysā (as Paul calls it in another truly great song for John) in Liverpool, and their rise to the toppermost of the poppermost.Ā Itās full of longing and love. Even though the refrain goes āI canāt get enough, girl,ā I know that Paul and John both used āgirlā and āwomanā and āsheā and āherā when they wrote and sang songs to and for each other, often.Ā I know that on the other side, John is listening to it and loves it.
harry dubois would end death note in one episode. he'd be unkillable bc he has no fucking idea what his name is and then he'd go drink driving and accidentally run light over and the killings would mysteriously stop
I've been feeling bad since my friend pushed me into this fandom. I hope they're happy in another universe
Robert Fraserās interview with Peter Brown and Steven Gaines, All You Need is Love
Some highlights:
Robert Fraser: Peter Asher was Janeās brother. I think he brought Paul over to my place. He made me sorry because he saw a sculpture in my apartment and said, āI want that.ā It was quite a lot of money for those days, it was like 2,500 quid. Paul never asked the price until he decided to buy something. If he liked it, he wanted it.
Steven Gaines: I guess they didnāt have to think about the price
Robert Fraser: No, but most people, even if they donāt have to think about it, they want to know the price. Paul was very, very open-minded, but he was also moreā¦Well, John was too, but I mean John was sort of very difficult toā¦He was more difficult toā¦He was very shy in a way, and it comes out in an aggressive way.
Steven Gaines: Itās an odd decision Paul made to live at his girlfriendās home with her parents.
Robert Fraser: Paul was a very domestic sort of personality. He liked the idea.
Peter Brown: I didnāt think twice about it, but looking back on it now, it was pretty ahead of its time to move in with your girlfriendās family.
Robert Fraser: Even now, heās done exactly what he wants. Heās not really likeā¦He never really lived a rock starās life.
