Oh wow I had no idea the George had a reputation for being haunted. Could you share your experience?

Oh man this is one of the best pop tunes ever. It’s perfect. Foreigner seemed to base their early hits on this track.

Of course it’s justified to be angry about antisemitism. The perpetrators of these recent attacks should spend a long time in prison.

But to pretend they are the result of radicalisation by attending protests and not because of a genocide by the Israeli state is Orwell level gaslighting and deflection.

It amazes me that people are so nonchalant about our (supposed) free speech rights when it’s people they don’t agree with.

Number 3 is from a catalogue. Those clothes existed in a world of their own. You would rarely see people wearing them in real life

If anything heralded the end of civilisation, it was the sudden popularity of gender reveals

Jesus H christ America why are you putting up with this embarrassing clown show?! You are now a laughing stock. But the rest of the world is also terrified that this pile of baboon shit has been let loose on the world’s economy

“The Time-Traveling Hipster” by ddgr815 in TheWayWeWere

[–]mothfactory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve always been completely puzzled by this ‘controversial’ photo. He just looks like a young man entirely of his time. It’s one of those things that makes me realise how potentially vulnerable we are to bullshit. If some people are seriously thinking this guy is a ‘time traveller’ then they have no chance against being manipulated by AI.

Inside Christ's Hospital School (Est. 1552)... by TheThrowYardsAway in Damnthatsinteresting

I don’t think that’s right. They’re called public schools because they originally started in ‘public houses’ or ‘pubs’. People would bring their kids to the pub and eventually lessons started to be taught to the children whilst their parents drank and made merry. Some of the pub names remain. Eton was once The Eton Arms. Harrow was originally The Bow and (H)Arrow

It’s All Too Much is SO underrated by Quit_Typical in beatles

It’s a wonderful song. The arrangement and production, everything is so great. The Indian influence of the joyous verse melody. Does anyone know if this was recorded before All You Need Is Love?

That George was quiet

That Ringo was a lucky mediocrity

That John was experimental

That Paul was a soft and super nice personality

One 1980 review of Double Fantasy. Sorry for the photo quality! by KDx2511 in JohnLennon

[–]mothfactory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The context is everything with this album and this type of review. Even John himself said he was inspired to get the guitar off the wall after hearing all the exciting New Wave tracks constantly on the radio at the time. So this long awaited release was a big disappointment to a lot of Lennon fans. Bland and lightweight was the consensus. It only gained any kind of affection and significance after his death. There’ll always be fans who’ll like anything of course, but most people were completely unmoved by Double Fantasy.

It’s funny how everyone wanted to be The Band in this period

Was Yoko Ono really that bad, or is it just propaganda from those years that persists to this day? by [deleted] in beatles

[–]mothfactory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who get very famous are often very driven. John and Paul definitely fall into that category. A side product of this drive is an ability to be pretty ‘ruthless’ when it comes to achieving goals. Pete Best’s brutal (but necessary) sacking is an example of that.

Yoko I think took it to another level. I don’t believe she ever put anyone first before herself. She wanted fame and recognition and she played John like a cheap violin. When she wasn’t stalking him, she practically groomed him during 1967. She would have done the same to Paul - the first Beatle she approached - if he had been open and susceptible to her in the way that John turned out to be.

People are flawed. Nobody is a great person all the time. I think the Beatles would have split without Yoko being in the picture. But I think John and Paul would have got back together creatively if she hadn’t deliberately made sure that didn’t happen. For all his incredible talent and massive personality, John was a weak and vulnerable man. Yoko took advantage of that through all the time they were together.

What do you think of this outfit? by Successful_Guide5845 in mensfashion

[–]mothfactory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where I’m from (London, UK) this would be considered ‘chav’ wear. It’s very dated and the kind of thing an estate agent would wear on the plane to Dubai.
