    Summary

    "It’s their fourth day in Barcelona and Brian’s already built up the nerve to pick up men in front of John. Not that he’s cross about it, or disturbed. It’s just intriguing now, in the same way his foreign exploits in Hamburg had been at first. But there’s a difference between the little coloured pills the barmaids would pour into his palm and Brian Epstein."

    A manager and a musician enjoy a holiday in Barcelona, 1963.

    Summary

    “Fucking hate my ma, too,” he said, making sure to slur out the ‘f’ and spit the ‘hate’ just enough to be convincing.

Of course, there was nothing, save for the same careful mask Paul slipped on when they talked about their mothers – eyes forward, forehead smooth.

    Alternatively titled: 'John and Paul are Nasty to Each Other'.
