Paul Was Sending Hatemail To Staff??????

paul was sending hatemail to staff??????

Sorry for answering this so late, for some reason this ask didn't show up until I logged into Tumblr on desktop???

But yeah, according to Derek Taylor, I think, Paul was sending out deranged postcards to Apple staff in 1968 💀💀💀 If I remember right, they said things like "Mind your schoolmasters" and "Remember you're not very good" and had stamps that were ripped in half before being placed. Really weird, unsettling stuff. Derek Taylor is on the record saying that he never hated anyone the way he hated Paul that summer.

This is obviously a great example of Paul being monstrous, but I do have a few theories about this incident, which ultimately boil down to:

— it seems like he was having one big long breakdown that summer

— he was doing a LOT of cocaine

— I highly suspect that the whole "John's Princess" thing had something to do with this. Hardly the first time he's had homophobia thrown his way (he probably got it all his life because of his facial features, and we know about specific incidents going back to Hamburg) but I think the combination of that, the situation with JohnandYoko, and him ruining his engagement to Jane... it was all just a perfect recipe for him to Completely Lose It 💀

None of that is an excuse for literally TERRORIZING YOUR EMPLOYEES lol. That's seriously messed up. I just DO kinda understand why he would crack under those circumstances lol

“‘Uh, I need another drink, baby,’ says John. Paul goes to the phone. ‘Hello? Yeah, send us six single Scotches - No, make it doubles, yeah, doubles.’”

— Michael Braun (Love Me Do!: The Beatles’ Progress)

Most immortals become the angsty “everyone I have ever loved is gone” kind of immortal. You, on the other hand, instead took it upon yourself to be a loving presence to entire generations of your chosen family, because they are descended from someone you once loved long ago.

It's always funny how authors mention this incident but don't try at all to analyze the implications of it.

when it's the 60s and u can't get married to your best friend bc you're both men so you just tangle up your names and assets and business and money and songs into one gigantic legal monster because SURELY you're lasting together forever and then you have to go through the world's first gay divorce in the 70s and it's 10x more complicated than an actual divorce bc it wasn't actually a marriage. and also there's 2 other guys there you fucked over in the process. well this did happen to my good friends sir paul mccartney and john lennon
