"My Friend Met Him [Paul] At A Party In LA, They Chatted, Then She Hugged Him. He Whispered In Her Ear:

Two years ago I binge read every Sherlock Holmes story by Arthur Conan Doyle. Before I started the only things I knew was that Holmes was the detective, Watson was the doctor who worked for him, they were colleagues who solved cases when Sherlock was too baffled on his own, then they went their separate ways until Sherlock needed help again. I wasn't prepared for both of them living at 221B Baker Street, or the fact they spent nearly the entirety of their time together even after the last clue was discovered and the culprit apprehended, or how when John would vaguely try to settle down with a wife he'd return to Sherlock at any given moment. In short, I never expected it to be a love story, and I never would have guessed those two men would move into my heart to stay. 🥰

“Over the years, whenever Paul has been asked to talk about John, he usually ends up saying that John was a lovely guy.  Well I’ve seen John be funny, I’ve seen him be witty, I’ve seen him be sarcastic, but I’ve never really seen him be lovely.

But the lovely John that Paul has been talking about for years was actually captured on film.”

-Peter Jackson, on John Lennon in Get Back 

“I become whoever I’m with. And so, if I’m with a mad man, I become mad.

And if I’m with somebody I love, I become lovely.”

- John Lennon, 1975

I believe in

For Paul

Done! Here are my very brief immediate thoughts based on the main reason many of us chose to read this book--the possibility of a published author confirming McLennon that goes beyond platonic. It's a fascinating book, never boring, full of deep information that carries you along like the ship John piloted through a massive Atlantic storm (near Bermuda of all places? Could you imagine if John had disappeared in the Triangle?? 😮.) Leslie does not end up with a sexual McLennon conclusion, though I disagree with him based on his very own book. I guess it's only fair though, none of us outside the most intimate of the Beatles circle can be absolutely sure, and that's just a simple fact. He gets as close as possible though, comparing John and Paul to a very deep and meaningful friendship between two French men in the late 1500s, Michel de Montaigne and Étienne de La Boétie, which was also cut short by the death of one, while the other grieved for the rest of his life. In conclusion, the book is beautiful, John & Paul were beautiful, their love was beautiful. Read it, but know that he sees a very complex soul mated platonic love. Just so, you know, you're not disappointed waiting for the secret Liverpudlian wedding reveal. 😉☺️😇
