The absolute iron grip that the Beatles have on me right now is insaine. Like, literally nothing else exists in the world right now to me except for Macca, Johnny, Georgie and Ringo
Happy Birthday, John
You really changed my life with your beautiful soul and music. You bring me so much joy and happiness listening to your voice. You were taken from the world too soon in a way that no one should have to leave it. Rest in peace, dear John, and Happy Birthday, wherever you are. . .β€οΈ
The things I would do to go to a Bob Dylan concert are unspeakable
Unfortunately, my grandma is the only person irl who shares my love of the Beatles, so we had a movie night and watched a Hard Day's Night and it was a blast! Here are some of my thoughts and comments on the film and some of my favorite parts/quotes (sorry if it's out of order):
β’ the opening is obviously iconic, I love how George and Ringo fall and almost get fucking trampled and we aren't even a minute in yet
β’ also the way John just laughs at them took me tf out, I love it
β’ "he's very c l e a n"
β’ Paul's grandfather was fucking helarious
β’ my grandma was singing all of the songs so loudly that I couldn't hear any of them π
β’ "Tell me, how did you find America?" "Turn left to Greenland"
β’ "What do you call that hairstyle you are wearing?" "Arthur"
β’ the entire part where George is mistaken for a teen model had me cackling
β’ "do not breathe on me, Adrian"
β’ "grotty" should be used more
β’ I love how the manager was basically just like a babysitter trying to take care of four out of control children
β’ I did not appreciate the Ringo's nose slander, his nose is beautiful
β’ Ringo's wack ass dancing was so amusing to me
β’ "Do I snore, John?" "Yeah, you're a window-rattler, son."
β’ John randomly oinking like a pig caught me off guard tbh
β’ Ringo being protective of his drums is literally me with my guitar
β’ "Put yer tongue away, it looks disgustin hangin out, all pink and naked."
β’ all of the songs were bangers, ofc
β’ all of the John in the bath scenes give me pure serotonin, I love his goofy ass
β’ me and my grandma sang a duet of And I Love Her when it came on and it was so fun and sweet
β’ I'm so sad that they didn't add "You Can't Do That" into the film since it's my favorite song on the album
β’ since I watched Nowhere Boy directly before this and almost cried, this line tore out my heart
β’ the scenes of Ringo with the kid were so random but also so wholesome
β’ the whole mistaken identity scene with John and the lady had me laughing and blushing, oh my God
β’ since my grandma is a George girl, she was simping hardcore during his song, it was so cute
β’ she literally yelled "I've got dibs on George!"
β’ my grandma also doesn't laugh when she thinks stuff is funny for some reason, so it was basically just me cackling in the otherwise silent living room the whole time
β’ she kept looking over to me throughout the film and finally said, "man, you're all over John the whole movie, huh?" π
β’ please, she can't talk, this women literally ran up to the TV and touched George's face π€£
β’ okay, I know I'm going to sound delusional as fuck but just hear me out-
During this exact particular scene:
I swear to God, for a second I thought I could smell John through the screen. So, the whole room just smelled like nothing basically, but when the camera was on John straight ahead in this scene after he's talking to the lady in the hall, my senses just exploded basically. I suddenly smelled strong tobacco and cigarette smoke, along with a clean sweet smell and citrus. It's like when someone walks by you with a lot of cologne or something and you are hit by it? It was like that with the sudden angle change when it went to this shot of John. It was the weirdest shit. I know it sounds dramatic and like I'm making it up, but weirdly enough it's happened to both me and another family member a few times with other movies, but idk why lol. Then when John went up the stairs it faded away and didn't come back. No one smokes in their house either and there was no smell like any of that in the room before, so it was really weird but also oddly comforting. Anyways, I'm probably just going insaine.
Oh God, it's finally happening, get ready for him to lose his voice forever
i hope he gets stuck talking like bob dylan forever and ever amen.
The kids on TikTok think that just because he was a classic country singer, Johnny Cash was conservative??? My babies he covered a Nine Inch Nails song in his seventies.
Classic country singers (the majority of which came from poor roots) were always talking about how much The Man sucked because they were taking money from poor rural folk. Youβre gonna tell me thatβs conservative?? Get outta here.
