The Beatles at Shea Stadium before concert

And another.

Why don’t musicians have personalities anymore? Well, okay, they still have personalities. But why are so many of them so awful? Look at those guys up there. I know it’s trite to gush over the Beatles, but— Actually, yeah, I’m not going to.

But still. I dig ‘em.

Breanna, one of the twelve most adorable human beings on the planet, just did a mini-spam of some fantastic, kinda-sorta rare (at least, I hadn’t seen them before) Beatles photos. So, if you’re into that sort of thing. You know. Go look.

John Lennon was an asshole and a hypocrite.

But, hey, so am I. I like the guy anyway. I think maybe that’s because he was so heavily flawed and conflicted. He was just some schmuck trying to carve out a little happiness, stability, and meaning from an unpleasant life. He just happened to have a large stage to do it from.

I’m by no means an expert on the life of John Lennon, but reading books about him is one of my vices. I’ve read my fair share of as-reliable-as-possible accounts of the man. He mistreated people, acted selfishly, was stubborn, unstable, and he seemed well aware of his faults… The fact that he made some catchy music is ultimately a bit trivial. Maybe it’s just because I’m fascinated by people’s lives in general, but, well, I find him fascinating.

Is he overrated? Absolutely. Was he the most talented Beatle? Not really.

But whatever. I dig him. (And a pony.) (Sorry.) (I’ll see myself out.)

I don’t usually “miss” celebrities. I mean, I’ll sometimes miss their contributions to the world of arts and entertainment, but it’s rare that I actually feel a sadness and actively wish they were still in the world, a while after they’ve gone. But I miss George. Musically, he was the most underrated Beatle, and he easily had the most palatable solo work of the four. And though he and I come from different religious spheres, I could always appreciate his spiritual bent.

I sometimes miss John too, but not nearly as much as George.

With regard to visual aesthetics, this is easily my favorite sequence of the whole film. Basically, I could happily watch this and the “Another Girl” sequence many, many times over.

Favorite photo of the Beatles, by the way.
