Guys, do you think when Paul wrote 'Get Back', he might have been referring to John to get back to the band like the years before John met Yoko?π

First post here!! Here's a magical mystery tour bus π
I wonder where were they from/ what were they doing?ππππjohn looked relax w just his t-shirt & the other 3 be all relax inc paul & george, hands in pockets & ringo just being relaxed ringo... maybe they were from the beach...π
Itβs like that cool group walk in a heist movie or something. John is the mastermind, Paul is his right hand man, Ringoβs the greaseman and George is the getaway driver.
For myself, I would rec:
1) Fab Gear: The Beatles And Fashion (Book by Paolo Hewitt)-> My fave so far amongst all the Beatles books that I have read, art & (Beatles) fashion rocks!π¨πΆπ my rating: 10/10
2) Beatles '66: The Revolutionary Year (Book by Steve Turner)-> Basically, my fave Beatles year, so if you're into their psychedelic transition period too, this book's for you tooπππππ my rating: 9/10
3) In His Own Write (Book by John Lennon himself)-> Well, if you're a Beatles fan, you just need to read what goes on in this Beatle mind, nonsensical stuff indeedβπππ my rating: 7.5/10
4) Being John Lennon (Book by Ray Connolly)-> Awesome, non-draggy autobiography of John, has some shocking & also bittersweet eg. the last few days/ years of John b4 his death parts... β€ππΈmy rating: 9/10
5) (Okay, this one's not directly a Beatles book but she is John's wife so lets just inc her in) Yoko Ono: Collector Of Skies (Book by Nell Beram & Carolyn Boriss-Krimsky)-> Just like book #4 as above, this is an autobiography of Yoko told in a simplified way, suitable for teensπ¨πβπ my rating: 8/10
6) Grapefruit (Book by Yoko Ono herself)-> A cool compilation of Yoko's instructions that has a dreamy vibe to it imo, just like the authoress herself, no wonder John became intrigued by her & her art back in '66-'68!βππ my rating: 9/10
7) John (Solo Series)-> An easy to understand book to satisfy some of your John obsessionππmy rating: 7.5/10
8) Revolver-> Technical explanation on how the band made the albumβs songs from a music studio POV, still can satisfy the Revolver obsession in you (if you have, that is, like yours truly heeeππ)πΏmy rating: 8/10
**I can't seem to find John's other self-written book as below via online though...π
- A Spaniard In The Works
*** I probably will update further in this post because me have read other Beatles-related books although some of them are for children (well, I work in a library that's whyπβ) & maybe also including books that the Beatles found inspo material for their songs... these inc adaptations from their songs (for eg. A Little Help From My Friends, Octopus' Garden + sing-along CD, Imagine etc.), Paul's Grandude series & the Tibetan Book Of The Dead...ππ€
Till then... reading is life!ππ

A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS (2004) β Dir: Brad Silberling, DoP: Emmanuel Lubezki.
I need everyone to know what a cutie patootie 1986 Sun Wukong is
"After the release of Journey to the West, I received more than 40,000 letters from fans all over the world, nearly half of which were love letters.
A Vietnamese fan wrote to me after learning that I was nearsighted, saying that she was willing to give me her eyes because "Sun Wukong's eyes are more important than mine." A Chinese fan wrote to me, saying, "You are handsome, but you would be even more handsome if you put on Sun Wukong's makeup." At this point, I realized that among the tens of thousands of love letters, some were courting me, but more were courting Sun Wukong."
