On the train home from hearing Ian Leslie talk about the John & Paul book and boyyy do I have mixed feelings. (This is gonna be very quick and unedited but I have nothing better to do and also this isn't really about the content of the book because I haven't finished it yet)

There was just something quite jarring about hearing them talk about Leslie's analysis of JP's relationship as though it's all new (which I know to a lot of people it probably is a fresh take but also ugh) and it made me feel a bit sad for all the women who have written and spoken about them in exactly the same way for years, for it just to be ignored or not taken seriously outside of women dominated fandom spaces. And I kinda thought there might be some discussion around that but there wasn't (optimistic on my part perhaps lmao)

BUT there was also something quite exciting about hearing that conversation play out between two middle aged men in a room with quite a lot of older fans and people seeming quite open to it?? And to be clear, at one point he made the point that he feels like to John at least, there was some romantic/sexual tension in that relationship so he wasn't exactly being coy about it. It wasn't the whole conversation and I think he actually did a good job at explaining how complicated it was, but he didn't shy away from that aspect which I thought was interesting.

Idk man. I haven't read the book yet so I'm gonna reserve judgement until then, but my feeling right now is that I wish we lived in a world where a woman wrote it and it would get the same level of attention... but I do kinda feel like it's something...

#personal#also if it had be a man why HIM#but whatever i guess#there's always mutual's beautifully insane tumblr posts#also it was so lovely to hi to the people i met there!!!#and also just being at beatles events makes me soo happy#anyway this is making me feel kinda travel sick now so i'll stop chatting nonsense byeee#ACTUALLY ONE LAST THING#i am so tired of people labelling paul as 'oblivious' to johns feelings#finding it hard to be open and having 5 defensive layers to get through#is NOT the same thing has not understanding the emotional currents of a situation#oh and one more thing#i do actually love tom holland so much and he should have talked more and not let ian speak#idc whose book it is

Paul McCartney on the set of A Hard Day's Night | 25 March 1964
"Mop violence...Getting "away from it all," Beatle Paul McCartney gazes wistfully into space while dangling from a stage rope on the set of United Artists' A Hard Day's Night, the Beatles' first full-length movie. Meanwhile, director Richard Lester was searching everywhere on the set below for the missing Beatle, who was "hanging around" far above the commotion below. The stunt set the mood for the riotous days of shooting that followed. Some of the real-life pandemonium created by the Beatles and their fans has been kept in the film as a touch of realism.
