“The Found Weekend”

This happened exactly 50 years ago: in late March- early April 1974, Yoko Ono lost total control over John Lennon, putting him in care Mei Pang.

Yes, John would later call this period of drug and alcohol delirium “A lost weekend”, but considering that the last one took place at that time - in fact, the only one after the Beatles! - jam session with participation Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and John Lennon, and their last photos together were taken, then this is just a godsend for history and Beatlemans!

On Thursday, March 28, 1974, Paul and Linda McCartney drops by Burbank Studios in California to see how the album is being recorded Harry Nilsson's Pussycats, produced by John, and Paul joins a jam session with John and other musicians on the track ‘Midnight Special‘, which is their first joint performance in the musical environment after the split of the Beatles, which happened about four years before. At the end of the day, John invites Paula at her music session at the beach house in Santa Monica.

“Don't be too serious, we don't get paid. We don't do anything, we just sit here together, and if someone gets bored with me, take the lead!”

- John Lennon

Ringo and Paul

These days, the last known photos of John and Paul together were taken. The photographers were John's mistress, Mae Pang, as well as the former roadie Beatles and at that time Lennon's bodyguard, Mel Evans. Several polaroids belong to Linda McCartney, as well as a friend and assistant Keith Moon to Dougal Butler. Dougal takes pictures on April 1, 1974, in which Paul performs a medley of Beatles songs on the piano, as well as those where John and Paul are together by the pool. (This polaroid photo will be the last ever joint photo of John and Paul...)

With no plans to record at Burbank Studios, John spends Sunday, March 31 relaxing by the pool, and later that evening holds the second of his Sunday music jam sessions at his beach house. Paul was among those present.

“Just turn up the fucking microphone... McCartney plays harmony on drums,

” says John Lennon

during the evening-long session, which is recorded for posterity on equipment borrowed from Burbank Studios

Along with two former Beatles (John on guitar, Paul on drums behind the drum kit of Ringo, who was absent at the time - and both often on vocals), there are Linda (Hammond organ), Stevie Wonder (electric piano), Jesse Ed Davis and others. Cecilia is recording, and among them are melodies that they completely do not understand, you never believed, like: "Never trust a Bastard with Your Mother", "Little Beauty", "I Left Home And Wandered around", "Lucille", "Nightmares", "Be on your Guard I", "Cupid", "Chain Gang" and "Take This Hammer".

At the end of the session, in the early morning of April 1, Paul, Linda and their family go to the nearest hotel. And to the beach house Jonah is coming to Ringo... and he finds out that Paul had been here shortly before and played his drum kit.

Closer to lunch, they return to the beach house Paul and Linda, however John hadn't gotten up yet. Paul immediately heads to the piano and, along with Moon and Nilsson, performs a medley of Beatles songs, which all three musicians are happy to join. After that, Nilsson suggests Semi is a bit of a dangerous drug known as ‘angel dust‘, from which Paul refuses. John wakes up around 3 p.m. and joins other musicians and friends who are relaxing by the pool.

During his 1975 interview on BBC2 Old Grey Whistle Test John briefly recalled that session:

“I really played with Paul. We did a lot of things in Los Angeles. But there were fifty other people playing, and they were all just watching me and Paul!”

By the way, in April 1974, after many refusals following his drug conviction in England in 1973, Paul finally received an American visa. And on April 13, 1974, the album Band On The Run ascended to the top of the American album charts. It would go on to sell over 6,000,000 copies worldwide and spend over two years on the US and UK charts. Meanwhile, it is reported that on the same day, Paul's ex-girlfriend, an actress Jane Asher, gave birth to a baby girl in England.

Он хотел бы вернуться в Совок.

Ностальгия.

Сотни тысяч солдатских сапог

Из России

Он отправил построить Совок

В Украине.

И лежат сотни тысяч сапог

Там поныне.

Он отправит остаток сапог

В Украину.

Он от здравого смысла далёк -

Хунвейбин он.

Основной его в жизни резерв -

Это урки.

Он всегда готов, как пионер,

Скрыться в бункер.

Баррикады из трупов солдат

Любит строить.

Но не хочет встречать их парад

Под землёю.

А задача вернуться в Совок

Недоступна.

Сотни тысяч солдатских сапог -

Его трупы.

Он хотел бы вернуться в Совок,

Но не смог он,

А Совок за собою зовёт.

В путь дорогу.

Он страну поднимает с колен

До карачек.

И приносит всё больше проблем

Аппаратчик.

Те, кто выжил с ним, строя Совок,

Все калеки.

Он отправит остаток сапог

В чебуреки.

##################

He would like to return Soviet Union.

Suffering from nostalgia.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers' boots on the ground

He ordered from Russia with love.

He sent them to rebuild a Soviet Union

In Ukraine.

And hundred of thousands of boots were quickly lost in vain.

He declared mobilization and sent more soldiers boots

To Ukraine.

He is far from common sense -

He is like Hongweibing feels towards his nation disdain.

His main foundation in life

Are prisoners who join Group Vagner.

He is always ready, like a Soviet pioneer,

Hide from the people into the bunker.

He enjoys building

Barricades from the soldiers corpses.

And dreams of bringing them back to Red Square parade

Right out of cemetery from the wooden boxes

But the goal of reincarnating Soviet Union

Is not attainable for him never ever.

Hundreds of thousands of his troops

End up below the ground zero level.

He wanted to return Soviet Union

But a lost war was all he got.

And the Soviet Union calls him hysterically

On the death road.

I choose characters that date older men with a big age gap. Yes, I am fully aware that some of them aren't actually old (some are even below 40), but I took in consideration the age compared to their love interest and the way the character act. For example Minato acts like an old men and he has a really big gap compared to Shintaro, the same as triage. But the preference while choosing (with the limited slots) were those, that's why for example lovely writer didn't show up, although you can still vote in other)

I want to see The Owl House spinoff about wittebros where theme of grief post-Caleb's death is explored with Evelyn and Philip in different forms, making them foils to each others.

Where Evelyn's anger, sense of loneliness and helplessness, and need to revenge is shown, but unlike Philip she moves on and let's go, finding peace in the world instead of going batshit crazy. And she dies happily, accepting this as the end of her life when she gave so much happiness to her child despite of losing her loved one, where she truly helped someone and ended up being remembered in the best way possible, while Philip is still in denial of the fact he has to find peace and die.

John Lennon in random pictures of passers-by

This is a 1968 photo, clearly not intended for the press. Lennon leaves the antique store by the hand with Yoko. She is still unaccustomed to the attention of strangers, she slouches. Keeping somewhat to the side, Paul follows them.

youtube

And this random picture looks even alarming. It's the last year of Lennon's life, and he's signing something to a fan in the archway of his New York home. His killer will also take his autograph, and then shoot him right there

John and Yoko at a crowd protest, fighting for freedom of speech

working on a writing project that needs a lot of worldbuilding and supplementary reading abt history is so fun bc it basically eliminates boredom. no internet? ok gonna zone out n think abt my characters. procrastinating? time to read about venetian ships from the early middle ages so that one (1) scene can be more accurate. need a book rec? cool i can just read something from the time period(s) that inspired my setting(s). it’s so awesome truly

#this is alt hustory fantasy for clarification lmao #and i wanna go pretty hard on the military/political parts too hence the history reading #and also i am a physics major so i am bastardizing a lot of physics and meteorology with impunity ❤️#this is basically the writing project that combines all the interests i’ve gotten weirdly deep into like it is extremely gratuitous but idc
