emmawoodouse: “The band’s respect and deference for Yoko, Linda, and Maureen is striking, in comparison with any other male musicians circa 1969. You can’t exactly imagine Mick Jagger saying, “Linda’s a cameraman.” There’s a Yoko smile I can’t get out of my mind — Ringo slips her a stick of gum. She breaks it in half, hands a piece to John. Her smile with Ringo is just a moment in time that was lost until now — sitting in a vault for 52 years. When they reminisce about their trip to India, Paul has fond words for Cynthia Lennon, Jane Asher, and Pattie Harrison. […] Then he sits at the piano to run through some stunning new tunes: “Golden Slumbers,” “Another Day,” “The Long and Winding Road.” The songs aren’t finished, but he’s just showing off for Linda. He’s determined to dazzle this woman.“ — Rob Sheffield, Rolling Stone -- source link
