  apparently this is making the rounds on beatles twitter so let me issue a series of corrections:<br>1. this is just a silly little video i wanted to make about something i found really interesting. it is in no way a historical record it&apos;s just a funny little video. i am mearly a jester. also i have dysnomia so some of the dates are fudged but the heart of the video still stands so please leave your straw man arguments at the door! i did a six part podcast series on the beatles and have nothing but love for them and mclennon stans so no need to feel defensive yall i support you in your endeavours <br>2. the beatles went to hamburg, not berlin - it says hamburg in my notes but again my brain has a hard time retrieving the correct words to speak out loud because im a member of &nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/dysnomianation">#dysnomianation</a><br>3. similarly, it was DENNIS WILSON of the Beach Boys who introduced everyone to Charles Manson, not George Harrison. George was friends with Eric Clapton tho who is a shitbag so <br>4. pete bests mom said the beatles fired him for being too handsome, the beatles said it was because he was bad at drums! i was just joking about the first rumour because the idea that pete best being fired for being too handsome is fucking hilarious to me! like, what would that conversation even be like? this is not a history channel it&apos;s all purely entertainment<br>5. white artists stole rock and pop from black artists and popularized it. im not <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/cancelling">#cancelling</a> the beatles but this is a truth!<br>6. the cynthia lennon quote “John never looked at anyone the way he looked at Paul” is FAKE it’s from deviantart lol thanks to the person who alerted me to this<br>7. this is just the tip of the mclennon iceberg so if you wanna know more do your own research

  &apos;I&apos;m sure that if Paul had been a woman or something, he would have been a great threat – because there’s something definitely very strong between John and Paul&quot;.- Yoko Ono

  Ugh Paul McCartney what he went through is horrible and make me feel for him. Imagine your mother up and dies with little to no explanation and then a few decades later your estranged best friend who helped you channel that grief into making the greatest pop rock band in history died being shot.

  &quot;Paul McCartney&apos;s not scrolling on tiktok&quot; oh no my queen doesn&apos;t know the lore that Paul has DEFINITELY seen the McLennon compilations on youtube (before they were mostly taken down) because Ron Howard referenced Paul sending them to him &apos;to show what good friends he and john were&apos; in the making of Eight Days a Week documentary. “The only request that came to me was from Paul McCartney. In a phone call he said “you know, if we’re looking at the touring years, I would just like you to view the relationship that John and I had through that lens. I’ve only begun to do this in the last few years, I’ve seen a couple of YouTube videos that fans made that just reminded me of how good friends we were.&quot; my man HAS seen McLennon vids on youtube.
