I’m not gonna be a hypocrite and say I don’t ship McLennon considering how I was reading a McLennon fic on Wattpad just a few hours ago, but I more ship the concept of McLennon.

“But you’ve got to remember, John and I knew each other when we were teenagers. We listened to the same records. We grew up to those records. We wore the same clothes. We admired the same kind of people. We had the same tastes. That informed the whole business. John and I were like twins. To find someone like that is pretty impossible. And hey, we were also damn good. We just got it on. We were hot. You can’t replace someone like John, and I don’t think he could’ve replaced someone like me.” - Paul McCartney

I respect Paul McCartney and John Lennon enough to acknowledge their friendship and how they had a very close and intimate relationship as best friends. As much I might want them to be more than best friends, I know the two men were only best friends and that’s it. They really did love each other, but not in the way some wished they did. 

The concept of McLennon though, is something I enjoy and I can stan it, but I know it wasn’t actually real. Well, maybe McLennon was real, but Paul and John wanted to keep it on the down low because everyone in the 60s and 70s weren’t the most accepting of LGBT+ folks. I can certainly entertain that idea of being the case, but until I know for sure with facts and confirmation from Paul or Ringo themselves, then I’m not going to treat Paul and John like they were actually dating.

“In fact, after he died, the thing that helped me the most, really, was talking to Yoko about it. She volunteered the information that he had… really liked me. She said that once or twice, they had sat down to listen to my records and he had said, ‘There you are.” - Paul McCartney

“Sometimes [Ringo] gets overlooked. You know, we had this little drum booth, and as I said earlier we keep changing the rhythm of the songs; we might try for hours one way and not be happy with the rhythm and so forth, and then they’d try another way. But he’d be drumming from the time that we started to routine the song, you know, for a long time! Eight hours, maybe! And the session was always over when you’d see Ringo stand up at four in the morning and put his coat on. He didn’t say anything. The others were talking or we’d just finish another take, and he’d be so tired he’d just stand up and put his coat on. And you’d know that was the end of the session.”
