Flicking through We Both Laughed in Pleasure and discovering that Lou Sullivan was a fan of The Beatles...and his favourite was Paul.

Incredible.

For people who don't know, I was obsessed with The Beatles as a teenager and still have that special interest level of knowledge about them.

So it is some nice trans solidarity to see someone like Lou also be a fan and especially of Paul (who is best Beatle).

He is and I really don't get the general loathing for him.

I think post-breakup it was because Paul was the one who publicly announced it (despite John saying he was leaving) and so he was associated with that on top of John's interviews against Paul's 'granny shit.'

Paul's reaction after John died (Drag, isn't it?) didn't help either.

Even Paul (just checked then!) said there was a 'revisionism,' after John died. You see it to this day.

Nobody mentions Paul's plastic bag full of tapes for Tomorrow Never Knows or his involvement in the London underground scenes whilst the others lived in the Home Counties 'stockbroker belt.'

Ah, that's really interesting. My Beatles fandom is relatively casual (i.e. nowhere near my special interest bands' levels). Thanks!
