have watched all the Star Wars crap on Disney, and don’t care about Marvel at all, so preparing to yeet that channel. watching the last things on our list…

just started watching the Get Back documentary in hour long installments, and it’s more fascinating than i’d anticipated.

Beatles were the first band i ever loved when I was 8 yrs old. i absolutely get why younger people disdain the group, I think that’s healthy, you’ll never see me trying to convince someone how culturally ‘important’ they were or how eternally relevant they are or anything like that. i won’t try to hawk that boomer shit.
their music was a big deal for me, though.

there's a part where George quits the band

the sessions have not been at-each-others-throats tense, but Paul is obviously a thinskinned, narcissist who seems to barely see other people as people, he directs the band in a sort of bullying manner, and is particularly tough on George.

Paul is a fucking asshole.

John is emotionally distant and uninvolved, won't step into any of this at all, also a dick move, frankly.

there's a lot of talk on the remarkable scene where Paul is jamming in a kind of freeform way, adjusting until suddenly the song "Get Back" comes into focus. it's a great scene.

the other side of Paul's creativity is where he basically invents the whole "Yoko broke up the Beatles" myth & jams that with a little audience who are a little too into slagging off someone who's been politely minding her business the whole time & isn't there to defend herself.

he whole thing sure seems like "well it can't be Paul's fault, must be this Yoko woman" - some implicit racism surely happening there, and fairly typical narcissistic behavior.

Linda was involved in the Yoko slander too, very two-faced of her, since apparently Yoko had been confiding in Linda.

Paul: how are we gonna come up with 15 songs?

George: I have loads of songs, would you like to hear them?

Paul: John isn't writing any, so it's all up to me!

George: I, um, have some songs if you...

Paul: oh, I know, I feel bad for me too having the stress of doing all the work, I'm sure John will come around

George: fuck this i'm out

Paul: goddamned Yoko.
