Holy shit, the amount of people in this comment section finding a way to connect Ono to the Beatles breaking up no matter how petty, is insane.

Yoko had also miscarried around a month earlier (at around the six month mark), so John was also distracted by the grief from that.

Episode 2 Paul confides that he really has no problem with Yoko, and no one suggests at any point that her presence is unwelcome. If we believe the editing at least.

Yeah, Paul literally jokes in the film about how “in 50 years people will be blaming Yoko for breaking us up because she sat on an amp”

The other members of the band don’t even seem to notice her; of all the random annoyances they deal with she seems like the very least of their concerns. Personally I’m already sick of hearing it from the guy who wants them to play the concert in Libya and it doesn’t even affect me, he’s gotta be way higher up the…

I love that documentary and it gave me a greater appreciation for Paul’s post-Beatles work. I think I always gave his producers credit for the hugeness of some of his Beatles songs, but I didn’t realize he came up with a lot of that grandiose instrumentation on the post-Beatles stuff on his own accord. He really…

It’s also a little weird that people are all like “god, how annoying that she was sitting there while they were trying to work,” and meanwhile there are constantly people everywhere, and the band spends a lot of time dicking around and having afternoon drinks. But yes, things obviously would have done much better if…

Oh, would also add a 21 (or maybe replace your 20):

I think it was less that Yoko was a clinger and more that John wanted her there right next to him every second. She could have been sitting next to the Hare Krishna in the corner if John didn’t make a place for her right next to him.

Oh my God, I just realized how shallow I am, but the older, leaner Rogan is miles more appealing than tubby, sloppy, young Rogan. Now I’m embarrassed. 

In the very first sentence the article establishes that Marilyn Manson is in fact Brian Warner. Marilyn Manson is a fictional persona. Brian Warner allegedly committed these crimes. Therefore it is important to strip away the celebrity façade and reinforce the fact that it wasn’t an act.  It wasn’t part of a show. …

Susie sewing the Magen David on the Klan robe provided me with unutterable joy.

Charming, wholesome men are sexy. John Legend, Paul Rudd, Russell Wilson types who project security, safety. Ever wake up to a man smiling at you with kind eyes? Instant horniness. That shit is sexy.

I think it has more to do with the many many stories that recently came out about him being an insufferable, narcissistic, rude asshole?

And speaking of Jerry Lewis, I read an old interview with Don Rickles recently, in which he said the nicest, kindest, and most supportive person in show business he ever met was Jack Benny, who pretty much liked every person he ever met, except for one.  Jerry Lewis.  As Rickles put it, “If Jack Benny didn’t like you,…

Maybe I’m out of the loop, but why do folks hate Joan Rivers now? I always thought of her as a Don Rickles sort, kind of an equal opportunity offender...

It’s so easy to forget that they were just a bunch of dudes whose music was monstrously popular.

The image quality is really good. It makes them all seem eerily tangible somehow — relatable even.  It’s so easy to forget that they were just a bunch of dudes whose music was monstrously popular.
