Wow. The SNL 50th Show was incredible and ending it with The End Medley from side two of Abbey Road felt perfect. And also like the end of something. Bittersweet, but beautiful

It really starts with Bathroom Window but I’ve never heard anyone call it anything other than just “the medley.” I’d call this version “the medley where you finally realize Paul can’t sing anymore.”
This. The fact that we still get to see and hear Paul McCartney in 2025 is an absolute gift. Seeing him with my own eyeballs in London this past June, like, I can't even describe it. If the gods walk secretly among us, Paul is one.
I was actually going to call it The Long One but I am a Beatles freak and at 53, figured only people as old as my parents would get that lol. So I do not know what the zeitgeist is calling it these days.
Golden slumber doesn’t get mentioned enough is one of their best ever pieces of work, even though that song had traditional and ancient English roots. But Paul being Paul cobbled together something that is timeless.
That’s fantastic. I’ve never gotten a tat but thinking of doing something Beatles, like a silhouette of the Abbey Road cover. Going there this past June was top of the bucket list
Have to. Breakfast with the Beatles has been one of the best father-daughter bonding sources. I will always treasure the memories of taking her to school with Chris dropping the lore. The Beatles man…nothing quite like them.

I am pretty confident the last stanza will be my next tattoo.
