Description "I spoke to Paul about this night many years later, and he confirmed that he and George had been shaken rigid when they found out we were up on the roof. They knew John was having a what you might call a bad trip. John didn't go back to Weybridge that night; Paul took him home to his place, in nearby Cavendish Road. They were intensely close, remember, and Paul would do almost anything for John. So, once they were safe inside, Paul took a tablet of LSD for the first time, 'So I could get with John' as he put it- be with him in his misery and fear."
- George Martin

what the wild thing was, john was up on the roof with George believed that john was going to jump off the roof when he was on that bad high. he still held that memory with him until the day he died.

Thank you!  It was kinda fun, drawing in all that... um, interesting imagery.  :3  Lots of eyes.  I think I creeped myself out a bit, actually!  But it was pretty fun, still.

In a weird LSD sort of way, it is...
but, just so we're clear: don't do drugs, kiddo.  ^_~

Thanks!

That's a pretty brave thing to do to help out your friend. Beautiful picture.

I agree!  And he was never very fond of the stuff, it turns out.  But he was there for John.  : )

Thank you very much!

Very sweet story. I had never heard of that. May write about it...

And very sweet pic, by the way : )

It is, really.  They had an interesting relationship, John and Paul, but there were a lot of very sweet moments.  : )

Thank you!

Yeah, they were very close. Some would say that had a sexual relationship. While we cannot deny that is definitely a possibility (both of them being as sexually curious as they were), I doubt they ever got to 'that' (as sexy as that would be......)

They held hands, hugged, cuddled, kissed (on cheeks) and were even in a circle jerk together (which is apparently very straight. Not being sarcastic either). They were right when they said they shared a relationship that very few could understand.

Youre welcome : )

Yeah... it was most certainly a romantic friendship, if nothing else.  They were the most important people in the each others' lives for many years.  Though it seems unlikely to me that anything particularly sexy happened.  ; )

Yeah, I think I've had a romantic friendship with a couple of people, so I think I would get it.

What's funny is that Yoko is the one who said that John fancied Paul...

Oh, Yoko has said many wonderful things, bless her.  : )  Wasn't she the one who said that Paul was called "Lennon's Princess" around the studio?

Yep. Not hating on her at all. Only repeating what she said. She really is a great woman.

Right, of course.  She gets way too much hate as it is, the poor lady.  D:  I was listening to a Beatles song on YouTube, and the comments were randomly full of a ton of Yoko hate.  It was very depressing.

She does have a lot of fascinating quotes involving John and Paul, though.  I certainly won't deny it.

Yeah. The break up was nobodys fault. They were drifting apart on their own. If it was Yokos fault then it was Lindas as well. Linda was at the studio just as much as Yoko was. And you dont see anyone hating on HER. Anyways great chat : )
