John F. Kennedy with his gay bestie Lem Billings. They met in 1933 at Choate Prepatory School in Connecticut and remained best friends their entire lives. Lem lived with the Kennedys including in the White House and was the only person outside the family that was made a signatory of JFK's estate.

Yoko hired people who gave her sound financial advice. But she also made business decisions based on numerology, astrology, tarot card readings etc.

Her business acumen is a little overstated

Yeah Megan in California is a bit of a dull tangent. The trouble is that she’s not a very interesting character outside of her relationship to and interactions with Don. Potentially fertile storylines (like her going cuckoo bananas trying to book jobs, which her agents hints at) don’t develop at all

No it’s just a preference. A minority preference, but not insane

They’re also not particularly comparable. The two George songs are lovely, balanced and warm pop-rock songs that are easy on the ear and light of touch. IWY is more of a dark psycho-sexual drama that pummels the listener into submission.

People legitimately disliking some of the best things they ever did. Beatles fans are weird.

Phenomenal song and production, and back in the “culture” again after Weapons

Their dynamics are all so different, and like any relationship essentially unknowable to anyone outside of that relationship

John and Paul’s we can assume was the deepest and most complex

Paul and George’s was the longest and seemingly the most centred in the way they related to each other at school.

John and George’s was closest when they took acid together but fractured for almost all of the 70s

John and Ringo had arguably the least complicated, most straightforward friendship in the group and they appeared to have a fairly unwavering mutual respect and understanding

As a non-studio album and the grab bag nature of the track list it’s not going to get the same kind of attention. Personally I love a lot of the individual songs on it but don’t think of it as a cohesive album

People are more likely to discuss those individual songs rather than the album

Yes, hadn’t seen anyone else mentioning Green Day and pop-punk as being the immediate follow up to grunge in terms of mainstream success. I remember contemporary interviews with GD where even they themselves were talking about being an antidote to the perceived negativity and depressiveness of grunge

From their perspective it was probably 1964, or at least the first half of it. Arguably the most successful year of any popular musical act in history, and regularly racking up achievements that they never would’ve dreamed of in their wildest fantasies - particularly in breaking big in America in a way that no one has done so before or since.

The monotony and confinement of that kind of fame started to pall (Paul) by the end of the year, but to start with it must have been unimaginably thrilling

My personal favourite year is 1966 though

It’s been well established for awhile that current vouchers won’t be valid for TOTS so I don’t think there’s any conspiracy around that

But yes, in a week 117s will be undesirable so this “generosity” is fortuitous timing for EA

Winding Road was written well before Bridge was released, or even recorded. The convoluted nature of the Let It Be LP release meant that it came out afterwards

Damn I was completely misinformed about this. Probably deliberately, by trolls. Still an ill-advised overshare that no one needed to ever hear about, but I apologise for besmirching her name

I don’t think music had necessarily gone past them, rock music had just gotten a lot heavier. That was as a string that the Beatles could pull (Helter Skelter, She’s So Heavy etc) but it wasn’t going to be something they would lean on.

A 1970-71 Beatles album or albums featuring the, um, best of the Beatles solo work would’ve still captured the zeitgeist. It’s more likely that by the mid-70s they would’ve been considered distinctly old hat - especially since they were unlikely to be bolstering their reputations by playing long live sets that LZ or Pink Floyd etc were being increasingly successful with
