Ugh. I really wish I could afford tickets to see Buddy Guy!
Put an artist in my ask and I'll post my 5... →
But you’re thinking about him in a song like “Beautiful Boy.”
John Lennon: Yeah, but that’s easy… it’s painting. Gauguin was stuck in fucking Tahiti, painting a big picture for his daughter – if the movie version I saw was true, right? So he’s in fucking Tahiti painting a picture for her, she dies in Denmark, she didn’t see him for 20 years, he has VD and is going out of his mind in Tahiti – he dies and the painting gets burned anyway, so nobody ever sees the masterpiece of his fucking life. And I’m always thinking things like that. So I write a song about the child, but it would have done better for me to spend the time I wrote the fucking song actually playing ball with him. The hardest thing for me to do is play… I can do everything else.
You can’t play?
John Lennon: Play, I can’t. I try and invent things. I can draw, I can watch TV with him. I’m great at that – I can watch any garbage, as long as I don’t have to move around, and I can talk and read to him and go out and take him with me for a coffee and things like that.
That’s weird, because your drawings and so many of the songs you’ve written are really playful.
John Lennon: That probably came from Paul more than from me.
