‘One more ciggy,’ says John, ‘and I’m gonna hit the sack; “hit the sack” being an American thing we got off Gary Coople as he struggled along with a clock in “Hi, Goons.” But I never really liked “sack”, it’s, uh, something you put potatoes in over here.’

‘The whole thought of hitting the sack,’ says Paul, ‘it’s so - so dirty, and it can mean a lot of things.’

‘You can sack Rome,’ says John, ‘or you can sack cloth - or you can sacrilege, or saxophone, if you like, or saccharine.’

‘Or sacrifice,’ says Ringo.

Michael Braun’s report of part of a hotel conversation between John, Paul and Ringo while on tour in 1963 (George already asleep); from Love Me Do! The Beatles’ Progress (via thateventuality)

keep them coming!

Q: What about your relationship with John? He tells me that you haven’t spoken to him in two months.

Paul: I don’t know really. Normally I would phone him or go out to Weybridge and visit him, as I have done a lot in the past. I was that kind of person. But now I don’t go out at all and I don’t bother looking for it any more. I would rather be in bed than at the clubs.

He hasn’t called me and I haven’t called him but it doesn’t mean anything. We haven’t had an argument.

John is very busy at the moment. I don’t like to be busy. I don’t feel the need to. Neither of us really want to talk to each other at the moment. If we run into each other at Apple or we are making a record, I would see him but otherwise I really don’t call him. That is the way it has always been. In fact, the truth of the matter is we just haven’t called each other up lately. I don’t really think about it. I will see him when I see him. And I love him just the same.

Paul sounds so depressed.
