John's birthday's coming up - He would have been 70 this year. There are all sorts of memorial concerts and shows going on this week in celebration; and not one to miss a chance to proclaim my love of him and the Beatles, I'm going to post quotes, videos, songs, whatevers to mark the 8 days leading up to his birthday.
Here's post one (a day late, unfortunately). From an interview from August 23, 1963 with Klas Burling (
Beatles Interviews Database):
KLAS: "That's Paul, and he's supposed to be the sweet boy in this family, no?"
PAUL: (jokingly) "Aww, shuttup."
JOHN: "His dad was a Mars bar."
PAUL: (laughs)
