STFU!
Although Beatles fans are a wonderful bunch, there are certain things many fans tend to say or talk about ad nauseam, and frankly, I wish they'd just shut the fuck up already. These are the statements/topics I wish could be banned (at least temporarily) in order to save my sanity and prevent me from lashing out violently at innocent people.
ITEM #1: "YOKO BROKE UP THE BEATLES."
Oh God, I'm so sick of hearing this. It's not really the opinion that bugs me, it's the fact that I have to hear or read it at least once a week. I get that you hate her, and that she destroyed THE DREAM, but please, come up with a new forum/community/conversation topic. It's getting old.
ITEM #2: "PATTIE BOYD IS SOOOOO PRETTY!"
She's pretty, but she's not that pretty. Girls obsess over her, saying how much they want to look like her. I don't get the fuss. She's got that monstrous gap between her teeth, and she looks like she's got crazy eyes in half her pictures. She looks like an alien. Jane Asher was much prettier, and she didn't look like one of the Stepford wives, but no one ever talks about her. WTF?
ITEM #3: "'YESTERDAY' IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONG EVER WRITTEN."
I've never understood the obsession with this song. The lyrics are crap, the melody is obnoxious...I don't get it. It's a fine song, but people have talked it up so much over the years that even Paul started to believe it was that good -- and originally he was embarassed to record the damn thing! They have written so many other, better, ballads, but everyone keeps talking about this damn song like Jesus came back in the form of crummy music.
ITEM #4: "I THINK I'LL MISS YOU MOST OF ALL, SCARECROW."
I dread this at the end of every year. People always create the John/George graphics with this line from
The Wizard Of Oz. It's become a cliché, and it's
not even the right fucking line. If you're going to quote something, at least quote it right. But don't quote it at all, because it's not pithy or meaningful anymore. Come up with something new!
ITEM #5: "JOHN HAD ADD/DYSLEXIA/RANDOM DISORDER."
Oh yeah, it's always nice when we can excuse dispicable behavior with disorders we can't actually diagnose because...he's...dead. It's not even just John; I'm annoyed that suddenly every great artist, musician, or thinker is being analyzed years after their death and diagnosed with mental illnesses. It's amazing that suddenly all these amazing people were only great because they had a disease. Why can't people just be great anymore? Everything has to be explained away...it sucks. And it can't even be confirmed. I wish people would stop saying it like it's fact when we can't really be sure.
ITEM #6: "JOHN AND YOKO WERE GOING TO GET A DIVORCE! YOKO IS A LIAR AND A FRAUD!"
Even if they were talking about divorce, don't you think
watching your husband die would perhaps change your perspective a tad? Maybe only remembering the positive aspects of their relationship is her way of coping with the fact that she watched the father of her son get brutally murdered. Just a thought.
ITEM #7: "THE BEATLES HAD SEX OR WHATEVER IT IS THAT THE GAYS DO."
Really? REALLY?! Since straight people don't have gay sex, I can only assume that you people have let your sexual fantasies take over your sense of reality. Just because The Beatles were put in homoerotic poses by photographers does not mean that they went home and licked each others' asses. It wasn't as if the photographer said "Say cheese!" and John started rubbing Paul's nipples. Get a grip.
