Nowhere Man: The Final Days Of John Lennon. Robert Rosen

The Beatles' first pet: George Harrison's vomit. ㅡ From the book "One, Two, Three, Four: The Beatles In Time" by Craig Brown.

Do with this what you will. I’ve been busy lately and went on a trip so a large majority of this was done while waiting in airport/museum bathrooms. It was very entertaining to read about these stories though.

Hold up ,,, Mal called Paul his love in his diaries?

Yes. In his autobiography. He also analyzed their relationship in his diaries. For some context, here's a longer passage from Ken Womack's book, Living the Beatles Legend (Chapter 31).

As January 1970 came to close, Mal began drifting into an emotional slide that had been developing over the past several years. "Seem to be losing Paul," he wrote on January 27. "Really got a stick from him today. He let me down," and ominously added "Fixing a hole," "Pepper," and "directorship" to a growing list of disappointments. Apparently, the conversation had turned yet again to the issue of Mal's servile role in Paul's life, with the roadie believing that the association was bounded by friendship and love. "A servant serves," Mal wrote, "but he who serves is not always a servant," he added, echoing John's philosophy from December 1968. "Love is as sharp and piercing as a sword, "Mal reasoned, "but as the sword edge dulls — you sharpen it. So love's keenness needs honing — needs honesty." *

[...]

On February 11, Mal joined John and Yoko for a lip-synched performance of "Instant Karma!" on Top of the Pops, with the roadie, clad in beige suit and a light-green tie, playing the tambourine. By this juncture, Mal's long-standing relationship with Paul was in freefall. A few days earlier, he have been awakened by a 1 p.m. telephone call from the Beatle. It went "something like this," he wrote in his diary:

Mal: yeah? Paul: I've got time at EMI over the weekend. Would like you to pick up some gear from the house. Mal: Great, man. That's lovely. Session at EMI?! Paul: Yes, but I don't want anyone there to make me tea. I have the family – wife and kids there. Mal: [thinking to himself] Goes my poor head, "Why????" **

By the next week, Mal found himself behind the wheel of the Apple van, moving Paul's gear from EMI Studios to Morgan Studios, another Northwest London facility where Paul could work incognito. At one point, Neil cornered Mal about Paul's surreptitious recording sessions, demanding to know more. "Where's Paul?" he asked, to which Mal tersely replied, "Not telling you."

In other instances, Mal ordered a Mellotron for Paul, while keeping him fully stocked with plectrums and other gear. In late February, Paul asked Mal to move everything back to EMI, where he was set to record "Maybe I'm Amazed" in Studio 2. For Mal, everything came to a head at 7 Cavendish Ave., when "my long love, Paul, to whom I have devoted so many years of loyalty, turned around to me and said, I don't need you anymore, Mal." *** *, ** : Evans, "Diaries."

Wait what happened on December 14th 1974 ?

tl;dr is during John’s “Lost Weekend” on that date George showed up to see John before playing some of his last dates for his infamous Dark Horse tour and blew up at him; the next night after the show, George felt really bad and was forgiven

excerpt from May Pang’s 1983 book Loving John about December 14-15, 1974:

some additional info for anyone interested:

in Chris O’Dell’s book Miss O’Dell she talks about how after the show on December 15th, George and John talked backstage about old times

a few days later a radio interview aired on December 21st, 1974 around 9:30am of John and George where they seem to be intoxicated and/or extremely tired, as the interview was done at 5am x x

the night before this interview was broadcast and presumably taped, George played his last show of the Dark Horse tour at Madison Square Garden and partied with John, May, and assumingely Olivia as well; so it would make sense for them to be tired in that interview x

hope this was informative and useful !!!!

それでも付き合いたての蜜月期はハンブルクからジョンは度々手紙を送り、それは目にしたミミが卑猥だと激怒するほど明け透けにラブラブなものだった。その手紙や、ジョンと愛し合ったという事実は永遠にシンシアだけのもの。ジョンの妻という重責、それでもそれはかけがえのない日々だったろうな pic.twitter.com/XWB9VftkVW

that last part (never included in the demo)

"Remember when

we thought our life had ended

the gods had been offended

then we started again as friends

now we start again as friends

somehow we start again as friends"
