"John was a big softy, but his shield was hard. So that was very good for the two of us. Opposites attract. I could calm him down, and he could fire me up. We could see things in each other that the other needed to be complete."
—Paul (The Lyrics, 2021)

‘John fascinated me the most because he exuded rocker,’ says Jürgen [Vollmer]. ‘I was a little disappointed when later I got to know him because he was a softie, but he carried off the rocker image perfectly. At the time, though, I never felt comfortable in his presence.’

Love that he was uncomfortable, until he was disappointed.
!["I Had [John] Down As A Coffee-boy Layabout, As I Used To Call Him, And Thought He Was Rather Arrogant.](https://64.media.tumblr.com/abc37c3d782887feb97e9872f9d2e447/32e16de28536f837-70/s400x600/e10a6bbc4e073fc0e1406fa31cc3f3856d5a6e77.jpg)
"I had [John] down as a coffee-boy layabout, as I used to call him, and thought he was rather arrogant. But when I got to know him – it's quite tragic really. I had an unhappy childhood, too, so there was a bit of an understanding there, although we never talked about it. I remember Stuart Sutcliffe saying that he once saw John at the top of the stairs at art school, crying on his own. That, to me, was the real John, but on stage, of course, he was arrogant."

That picture is so adorable tho😓
From Dezo Hoffman’s book of photos entitled “John Lennon,” this is the photo that caused John to become angry at Dezo, and the disagreement got to the point where he refused to allow himself to be photographed by him again for several years. Hoffman’s story is put behind a cut because of length.

John with bows !! :3
