Interesting comments on John/Paul/Yoko

"It was clear to Paul by this point that Yoko had become by far the most important person in John Lennon's life; even were she to somehow vaporize, John would not come running back to Paul after that unfortunate disappearance."

"The Beatles were having severe problems then, with Yoko Ono apparently having driven a wedge between Paul McCartney and the most important person in his life, John Lennon."

"The wedding [of Paul and Linda] was front-page news all over the world [...] Girls wore the black of mourning for weeks afterwards, and, like an answering move in a chess game, John and Yoko were married in Gibraltar eight days later."

It's interesting how there are so many comments like "John leaving Paul", or "John going back to Paul", as if Paul was his previous romantic partner before Yoko, and not Cynthia.🤔

Jackie Curtis posing with Scott Asheton, Iggy Pop & Lou Reed at Max’s Kansas City, 1973, as captured by Danny Fields during what could have possibly been the afterparty for the Stooges’ Raw Power gig.

“I am not a boy, not a girl, I am not gay, not straight, I am not a drag queen, not a transsexual – I am just me, Jackie.”

Jackie Curtis was one of the superstars in Andy Warhol’s galaxy, a ‘60s/’70s East Village playwright, poet & genderqueer performer, who died at 38 of a heroin overdose and has been immortalized in Lou Reed’s “Take a Walk on the Wild Side”: “...Jackie is just speeding away / thought she was James Dean for a day / then I guess she had to crash…”. 

Jackie’s trashy glam style of DIY ripped clothes covered in glitter along with elements of the Theatre of the Ridiculous, the underground theatre art of that era that she was involved in, were defintely incorporated into the burgeoning NY glam rock scene of the ‘70s and though more than obvious, the influence on Iggy’s voyeuristic & gender-bending performances is often underestimated. In this light, Scott Asheton’s quote that the Stooges scared people off in a different way can take new meaning in terms of blowing up people’s stereotypes on sexuality and gender roles.

what is it that Pete Townshend has said about Paul and John? Thanks.

I can't find the post you're referring to, and I only have a vague memory of what exactly I said, sorry!

I do remember though that my intention wasn't to say that Pete Townshend commented on Paul and John, but that he commented on Paul's personality. In the book Linda McCartney: The Biography by Danny Fields he quotes Pete (p202 in my edition):

Linda was very, very pro-active in their social life. When they were driving through this town, she was the one who used to get him to come and visit, even made a couple of surprise visits. She was the one who would call me and then put him on the phone, and we would talk. Then he would be open and entirely accessible, but it was Linda who was always reminding him that he really had friends, the he was likeable as a person, that he could reach and be reached...she was constantly there with the idea that there is love between people when the tape stops running and the curtain is down. She was so centred - I think self-possession was her main character attribute, wasn't it? Maybe this marriage was more about Paul than about her, but you know, I don't think so.

This quote gives me *all* sorts of feelings. I'm so glad that Paul had Linda. She seems to have been such a good influence on him, and seen him so clearly. I really empathise with the Paul this quote conjures up. I know I have definitely appeared aloof when I was actually acting out of fear of rejection.

If you're interested in Linda at all I highly recommend this book (it seems to have been published under at least two different names--probably in slightly different versions).

Thanks for the ask!

"I suppose I can find it within me to forgive Linda for not sitting down and writing me a long and chatty letter. She had just moved from one country to another, was setting up a new family in a new home with a new Daddy for Heather, was now married to the erstwhile catch of the decade, whose child she was carrying, and was instantly notorious, misread and widely loathed, because she ruined a fantasy that had become an obsession with vast numbers of young women. Who did she think she was? And, as she was starting to realize with great dismay, she was right on time to witness her new husband live and suffer through the worst crisis of his adult life, as the Beatles flew apart."🌼

actually, on the queer!Linda topic, it's been a while since i read danny fields' bio but if i recall correctly, prior to paul she had a really intense friendship and fallout with another woman (cant remember if the fallout was pre or post paul) and i think danny makes a parallel with the john/paul situation and implied that linda and paul might have found common ground on that so eh whats good for mclennon is good for linda

If you can find a quote for that I would be completely indebted to you!

“Basically the Ramones said to them, which they said to countless other bands, ‘You don’t have to get better, just get out there, you’re as good as you are. Don’t wait until you’re better, how’re you ever going to know? Just go out there and do it.’”

- Please Kill Me, Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain, quoting Danny Fields
