We find ourselves at a crossroads: The Mark Lewisohn Disaster
“The only obligation we owe to history is to rewrite it.” —Oscar Wilde
DESIGNING LEWISOHN: Where was Paul when John needed him? Who could know?
Mrs. Harrison is saying that she sent George to get John out of his house so they could all play together “in their group.” Not, where was Paul? “It could be they didn’t see much of each other”—but could it? It could be that Paul went ice skating in Sweden, EXCEPT HE FUCKING DIDN’T. Why are you lying to me in legalese in a Beatles biography?
DELUSIONAL LEWISOHN
The confidence with which Lewisohn recounts a series of events that only shows beyond all doubt that “the extraordinary story” he’s about to convey was not “unearthed,” but concocted—or dreamed—while clearly expecting the listener to see how it fits together and proves his narrative seems inexplicable to me by anything but delusion. Or if there is a rational explanation, it lies beyond my earthbound grasp.
“And you can tuck your pants in.” George and Paul and those groovy boots (with audio)
George sings “I Me Mine” to Paul after a beautiful Beatles bonding moment.
“You want boots of those?”
“Yeah.”
“I’ve got boots of them.”
“You know where you can get ’em?”
“Yeah, you get ’em off me… I’ll give you ’em. I never wear ’em.”
“You wanna hear a song I wrote?”
