It's kind of depressing this has 20 favorites, whether you're trying to "keep it light" or not. Criticizing her music or performance is one thing, but the cheap and easy body snark? It's not funny.

Why is he wearing a giant, hideous tunic?!

Thanks for the tip—I've never been, so I'll be sure to hit it up! :)

I have no horse in this race, and from another comment below I was mistaken about Ringo. I thought there was someone other than Mills that had mentioned it, or that McCartney himself had mentioned it (angry man-handling more than outright beating, maybe), but I could be misremembering.

No! Obviously I need to check it out. :)

There are accusations of a pre-Linda girlfriend but also Linda herself. You don't need to take it personally.

You're fucking nuts. Please stop following me, and leave your inane ramblings to some other unfortunate.

My bad—I totally parsed your comment incorrectly.

Is such "jealousy" (wrong term, IMO) really that unusual from the forgotten son of a father's first family? The abandonment of the first failed domestic endeavor is really heavy shit, so having complex feelings towards the privileged progeny is really not that unusual or damning.

I am there. Obviously marrying Harrison and having boring, sensitively regrettable sex with McCartney.

Not all of them are always so bad! Still, sage advice.

See also: the song "Jealous Guy" for a well-written (but still cheap) recounting of his wrongs. Love the song, but unlike others I don't think it absolves him from his many acknowledged sins.

AFAIK McCartney beat his first wife, too. The only Beatle I've never heard domestic violence claims against was Ringo.

True. But IMO he was a more versatile songwriter.

*SWOON*

This is itself an anti-intellectual supposition.

It's...not okay? And no one here is saying it is?

It was a joke, silly! You know it was, you even said so!

As a lover of cream cheese who would nonetheless take the side of butter in any extended dairy war, I think you are perfectly within reason.
