ABC Theatre, Blackpool, Aug. 1, 1965
“Following Paul’s rendition of ‘Yesterday’, a comedy link was rehearsed for when the others reappeared on stage; John clutched a plastic bouquet of flowers which came away as Paul accepted them, leaving him holding only the bottom stems. As if to further puncture any pompous formality, John announced, ‘Thank you Ringo, that was wonderful.’ ‘The Beatles were in a terrific mood…’ Sean O’ Manhony wrote in his editorial (Beatles Book #26), ‘Laughing and giggling their way through rehearsals as though they were preparing for a private Beatle People Telly Show for the fan club rather than a national networked performance to millions of viewers.’ However, he now remembers a charged atmosphere at Blackpool that day after Lennon sarcastically roared ‘Thank you, Paul, that was bloody crap!’ following McCartney’s debut of the song during the afternoon rehearsal. If there was any tension it was swiftly diffused as Bryce’s photographs reveal the two relaxed and joking in each other’s company. Paul and John rode back to London together in comfort that night in Lennon’s new black Phantom V Rolls-Royce.”

Does anyone have a link to that weird little documentary made by a (German?) guy who's obsessed with Love in The Open Air from The Family Way. It features Paul making an analogy between himself and a wife trying to do something for herself.
this is diabolical on so many levels. sucking face in front of the man that is singing the song he wrote about you and then turning to him, and only him, to immediately justify why because you're still one part of a codependent permanent homoerotic quantum entangled soul bond. paul is trying so hard to be cool but immediately launches into the song only to realize john has used the song to sing about the new person he loves and stops singing mid-sentence. i would kms. heartbreak hard launch singing strawberry fields forever over a bed of newspapers proclaiming john and yoko's love, whilst staring forlornly at john and singing the song paul would later go on to say is quintessential john. they were doing tragedy like no one else
I'll Follow The Sun
This recording is from the second Forthlin Road tape, recorded in June/July 1960.
This song would eventually be released on Beatles For Sale. The verses of the original are basically the same, but the bridge is totally different (lyrics and melody).
But the bassline is the same.

Hi, love. This is a little bit of a silly question, but I read on ex-twitter that John paid wiccans to curse Paul? Did that actually happen? It sounds insane, but John was a little mad so who knows?
Oh boy! People really do be saying anything lol. The first thing that jumped out at me from the original answer in the screenshot is a reference to "John's letters to Paul". I WISH we had letters to Paul from John! The closest thing is the angry open letter in Melody Maker in 1971, which is actually addressed to Linda, but contains many swipes at Paul. John's diaries apparently contained much writing about John's resentment towards Paul, but we don't have the actual texts of those, just a couple of books by two authors with dubious credentials who claim to have seen the diaries, and don't contain any direct quotes.
"Hiring Wiccans off the street" - I think the OP might be touching on the accounts in the book by John Green (JY's tarot reader), Dakota Days, which I reviewed here. There's one section where John complains to Green that Paul and Linda are still together despite his (John's) predictions, and Green does a reading that says they are actually unhappy and on the brink of divorce, which pleases John. No mention of spells. The closest thing to a spell reference comes in Fred Seaman's book (review) where John tells Seaman that he believes Yoko cast a spell to ensure Paul would be arrested in Japan. But no confirmation from Yoko or anyone that she actually did that.
I see this a lot in the fandom - people half-remember certain things and build up a whole new narrative from them, which by itself is not particularly harmful - I don't mind people tinhatting and having fun - but can be very misleading for people new to fandom who want to find out the actual facts. Next time you see a claim that sounds unbelievable, check for a source (not that published sources are always particularly reliable either, but at least you can use them to trace back the claim to its origin).

Apparently a lot of people get dialogue punctuation wrong despite having an otherwise solid grasp of grammar, possibly because they’re used to writing essays rather than prose. I don’t wanna be the asshole who complains about writing errors and then doesn’t offer to help, so here are the basics summarized as simply as I could manage on my phone (“dialogue tag” just refers to phrases like “he said,” “she whispered,” “they asked”):
“For most dialogue, use a comma after the sentence and don’t capitalize the next word after the quotation mark,” she said.
“But what if you’re using a question mark rather than a period?” they asked.
“When using a dialogue tag, you never capitalize the word after the quotation mark unless it’s a proper noun!” she snapped.
“When breaking up a single sentence with a dialogue tag,” she said, “use commas.”
“This is a single sentence,” she said. “Now, this is a second stand-alone sentence, so there’s no comma after ‘she said.’”
“There’s no dialogue tag after this sentence, so end it with a period rather than a comma.” She frowned, suddenly concerned that the entire post was as unasked for as it was sanctimonious.
And!
“If you’re breaking dialogue up with an action tag”—she waves her hands back and forth—”the dashes go outside the quotation marks.”

Thank you
Oh my god thank you. No wonder grammarly keeps complaining about my punctuation when I boot my writing up into word counter
