Early Days - Blog Posts

After being on this hellsite for many, many years, I’ve finally decided to post something 😅

So here’s a sneak peek into a Rapunzel inspired story I’ve been working on;

Enjoy!

Or not, you do you 😋

“Paul and George always ganged up on people. Like Stuart. They could get pretty bitchy.”

-John Lennon

Paul McCartney and George Harrison photographed in Germany, circa 1961, by Astrid Kircherr.

George Harrison: Living in the Material World (2011) | Nowhere Boy (2009)          George was just too young. He looked even younger than Paul, and Paul looked about ten, with his baby face. – John Lennon, The Beatles Anthology 

“When we were kids, George [George Harrison] and I used to hang out and we had, we had one little party piece which was to show that we weren't stupid, so we used to do this thing by Bach that was our own little version of it, and we got it wrong”

- Paul McCartney

"A look emphasised by the unusual clothes - leather trousers and cotton tops. No other photos show them dressed this way."

"Three months from here, John and Paul went to Paris and returned with what became known as 'The Beatle haircut'.

THE BEATLES Live at St. Paul's Church (1962)

Throwback to when the John Lennon Instagram account (probably Sean) posted this very obvious series of photos captioned by the lyrics to In My Life, making it very clear who the song is about:

“We nearly always went up to his little music room that he’d had built at the top of the house, Daddy’s room, where we would get away from it all. I like to get away from people to songwrite, I don’t like to do it in front of people. It’s like sex for me, I was never an orgy man. So John and I would sit down and by then it might be one or two o’clock, and by four or five o’clock we’d be done”. – Paul McCartney, Many Years From Now

immediately after admitting songwriting is like Sex he follows with Yeah so John and I would do it together. do you hear yourself paul.

February 2020 was weird

In my mind, visiting Oberkirch mid-February 2020 as my last outing before lockdown in Europe. Actually, that's not true - late February I went to Western France and Paris... but this was indeed my last solo excursion. I went for the carnival, which did take place, but Covid was very much on the horizon at that point. So there's something special about looking back at seeing people at the castle, enjoying the views and nature while it was still possible.
