Beatles Photo of the Week: HOTTEST JOHN EVER!
LJ: Where are you, John Lennon? It looks like you are in the locker room of the ice rink where I used to take skating lessons as a child. Are you? I doubt it. Either way, this photograph makes me smell the smell of that ice rink in my head*. Why do ice rinks smell like that, John Lennon? I guess it is the smell of the chemicals they use to clean the ice. I don't care. Oh, foxy 1966 John Lennon. Have I told you lately that I love you? You're hot! This was such a good look for you. Why did you only look like this for, like, one month of your life? I guess because you started taking acid and got all weird and grew your hair out, which made you seem like "not a dude," somehow. I'm sorry; I don't mean to emasculate you. I'm not saying you looked like a chick- you just looked sort of beyond gender, but maybe that's what you were going for. Cool. I respect that. But the truth is, John Lennon, you're a dude. I'm sure you know this about yourself. You used to beat people up. You swagger, and you're an asshole. You're four-and-a-half inches taller than me. You're wearing the greatest outfit I've ever seen a dude wear! Your kicks are legendary. You're totally the dude equivalent of the girl in "Girl" by the Beatles. Hey do you feel like getting stoned with me tonite?
*Because I suffer from a cognitive disorder called "Beatles Synaesthesia"
LIZ: I actually think this is the hottest John photo ever, but that's maybe just me. It probably has lots to do with how John looks eerily like this wacky-delightful boy I dated a thousand years ago (in 2005), who was from Louisiana and would always play-shout "Huey Long never used a pillow!" whenever offered a pillow. I never recognized that boy's 1966-John-Lennon-esque-ness at the time, which is a shame, since I've recently realized that 1966 John Lennon is my favorite John Lennon evs. I always thought 1965 John was my number-one, but then YouTube recommended I watch "The Beatles Return from Manila", and now that sharp-dressed, shaggy-haired, bespectacled little scamp is just the "apple" of my eye. The above photo's definitely a nice proxy for the foxiness of "TBRFM" John (a "foxy proxy," if you will), but you really need to see the vid to experience the goofball charm and vulnerability behind all that cool. And make sure to watch all the way through, else you'll miss what Laura Jane Faulds and Elizabeth Barker have officially dubbed "the greatest twist ending since L.A. Candy"! Have fun!
