~Happy heavenly 82nd birthday, Linda McCartney~

“If you see something that moves you, and then snap it, you keep a moment.” -Linda McCartney

“If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian. We feel better about ourselves and better about the animals, knowing we're not contributing to their pain.” -Linda McCartney

A beautiful and gentle soul and a woman who inspires me everyday. Thank you for everything that you did to try and make the world a little better- I miss you a lot, Linda. Rest peacefully 🙏🕊️☀️

Happy 54th birthday Mary McCartney! ❤️

“One of my earliest memories was my mum taking me to her little dark room in Soho. The sight of an image developing on paper in front of my eyes was magical. I really started to focus on photography when I left home and was living on my own in London. It was then that I really turned my main focus on the world around me. It suddenly clicked. I started looking for moments. That was the beginning of me taking it seriously.” -Mary McCartney

“I kinda like things which allow you to come up with your own memories as well. That’s the kind of pictures I find inspiring.” -Mary McCartney

My mother shaped my view of the world and inspired me to embrace spontaneity and capture the unforced. To show with her is such an honor for me and validates my journey as a photographer.

—Mary McCartney

“My mum and dad were both interested in photography, so I grew up subconsciously seeing a lot of photography in books and exhibitions and having it in my day-to-day life. In a way, I thought that was normal. It wasn’t until later that I realized that not everybody takes pictures all the time”. -Mary McCartney

‘Trust is a big thing in my photography. With all the people that I’ve picked for this exhibition, I would create a narrative in my own head. I can create a whole world around them. So, in this show, I’ve picked the images from my collection which I think will then evoke that feeling in the viewer.’ - Mary McCartney

“The thing that always keeps me interested and excited is finding those unknown moments. That is the exciting challenge.” - Mary McCartney

~I wanted to thank you, Mary, for your beautiful photography, delicious vegetarian recipes 🌱 and your love animals and family that inspires me and many other fans. Peace and love 😎✌️☮️❤️✨🌈☀️🌻

Happy 45th belated birthday Dhani Harrison! ☀️

“ It’s funny, because music is one of those things it is natural to go into. You hear it so much growing up, it kind of permeates you and eventually you spew out some music of your own.” ~Dhani Harrison

“I guess I got lucky, because I got George Harrison! You know, it's good music, and I'm honored to be a part of his legacy. And also, we made so much music together, and spent so much time in the studio at my house in Friar Park, in Henley where I grew up. The studio was directly below my bedroom, so my floor has rattled my whole life. I would always go downstairs and just see what was going on. I remember the Traveling Wilburys there. So, I was very comfortable in the studio, and I kind of grew up learning how to produce and play. For me, it was facilitated very much by my dad, and we were best friends, so spending a lot of time in the studio with him was natural.” -NPR music interview, February 28, 2016

“My son looks more like George Harrison then I do.” -George Harrison

“Shortly after Dhani was born Ravi and Alla Rakha took the train over to visit us [George, Olivia and Dhani], and I picked them up at Reading. They came over to see the baby, and Ravi wrote a tune called ‘Dhani.’ The name 'Dhani’ actually came from my study of Indian music: from the scale of Sa-Ri-Ga-Ma-Pa-DHA-NI-Sa. So he wrote this song, and Alla Rahka played on one half of the tabla, the bayan.” - George Harrison, Raga Mala (1997) -source from Harrison Archive ***

I apologize for forgetting your birthday Dhani, please forgive me. I had no time to make you this but I decided to give you a late birthday message, have a amazing belated birthday and thank you for everything that you do. By the way, you still look exactly like your father, George Harrison ☀️🕊️🎸🙏 and that’s awesome!

Peace and love Dhani😎✌️☮️❤️✨🌈🌻⭐️

Paul is so f***king funny! This man can never stop putting a smile on my face 🤣🥹❤️

Hope you can do more posts like this. Also i badly want to make gifs now because of this! Do you know where I can make them?

“No laughing, please. This is a serious cooking program.” - Paul McCartney

I know some people might have seen this before but I got to say, this is one of the funniest and most random things I’ve ever seen on YouTube. Like literally I can’t believe this exists! Well after watching this, now I really want to have mashed potatoes… 🤭🫤

Also, this is actually pretty emotional because it was the first time he went in public after Linda died 💔 but at the same time, he was so brave to do this to honor his wife. Thank you for doing this Paul 🙏

Anyway, hope you all have a nice day and peace and love 😎☮️✌️❤️🍏🌈☀️✨

Peace and love!!! ✌️😎☮️❤️🍏🎶⭐️

Happy Birthday Sir Richard Starkey || July 7, 1940

Peace and Love 😎✌️🌟💕🎶🍒🐘🕺🏼☯️☮️

Does anyone here think Ringo deserves more RESPECT? Cause in most of the Beatles music videos, he literally does shit. John, George and Paul get to use their instruments, why can’t Ringo? I mean come on! He is forced to hold an umbrella and sit behind George with nothing to play with in “Help”. Also in Paperback Writer, he sits there still doing nothing and not getting to play his drums or even hold his drumsticks! Just in the background leaning towards a statue or sitting on ground.🥁

Please hashtag me #ringoneedsalittlemorerespect or if you like ;) leave a comment about your thoughts on one of the coolest drummers in the history of rock and roll.

~*+❦Happy Birthday Paul McCartney❦~*+

↳ June 18th, 1942 Liverpool ♊︎

❝ One of the things I always thought was the secret of The Beatles was that our music was self-taught. We were never consciously thinking of what we were doing. Anything we did came naturally. A breathtaking chord change wouldn't happen because we knew how that chord related to another chord. We weren't able to read music or write it down, so we just made it up. My dad was exactly the same. And there's a certain joy that comes into your stuff if you didn't mean it, if you didn't try to make it happen and it happens of its own accord. There's a certain magic about that. So much of what we did came from a deep sense of wonder rather than study. We didn't really study music at all. ❞ -Paul McCartney

<The man who rocked the world by storm as a member of the Beatles and Solo artist. His songs have changed millions of fans who adore him. Thank you for inspiring me, Paul.>

Happy pride month y’all!!!! And I am fainting over these gorgeous people. So let me rest and I’m very excited for pride month 🫶❤️🥰🥹🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

God maybe I should make Beatles pride month fan art? 🤭🥺🤔

Have a wonderful day everyone, peace and love homies 😎✌️☮️🕊️❤️✨

Paul McCartney and John Lennon, (1965) Photos taken by David Bailey.

“One of us might think of a song completely, and the other might just add a bit. Or we might write alternate lines. We never argue. If one of us says he doesn't like a bit, the other agrees. It just doesn't matter that much. I care about being a song writer, but I don't care passionately about each song.”

—Paul McCartney, 1966

“The way that Lennon and McCartney worked together wasn't the Rodgers-and-Hart kind of collaboration. It was more a question of one of them trying to write a song, getting stuck, and asking the other: 'I need a middle eight. What have you got?' They were both tunesmiths in their own right, and would help each other out as the need arose. ... But as they developed their art, each moved on to writing songs entirely on his own. Collaboration became rare, apart from the odd word or line; it was either a John Lennon song or a Paul McCartney song.”

—George Martin, All You Need Is Ears, 1979

“Paul and I made a deal when we were 15. There was never a legal deal between us, just a deal we made when we decided to write together that we put both our names on it, no matter what.”

-John Lennon

“We knew we were good. People used to say to us, 'Do you think John and you are good songwriters?' and I'd say— "Yeah it may sound conceited but it would be stupid of me to say 'No, I don't,' or 'Well, we're not bad' because we are good." Let's face it. If you were in my position, which was working with John Lennon, who was a great, great man — It's like that film 'Little Big Man.' He says, 'We wasn't just playing Indians, we was LIVIN' Indians.' And that's what it was. I wasn't just talking about it, I was living it. I was actually working with the great John Lennon, and he with me. It was very exciting.”

—Paul McCartney, 1988

Happy Mother’s Day to all moms! These are photos of the most kind, loving, caring, and most beautiful inside and out in the world. God, it’s so great to be able to look up to them as moms and wives. (Also I added Iman, “David Bowie’s wife”) because who doesn’t love Iman!❤️ 💐🌼 and I added Paul McCartney’s mum, Mary ( Paul’s eldest daughter named in her memory) too, she was such a lovely person…

Anyways, peace and love and hope everyone has a wonderful day 🤗✨✨✨
