    Summary

    It's 1963. Paul McCartney is twenty-one years old and the world is going mad around him. The touring, the girls, the songs, all of it happening faster than anyone can process. And then there's John. There's always John.

    Turns out Beatlemania is the straightforward part.

    The Space Between Us: 1963-1968. A love story.

    Summary

    Paul turns back, and his face is oddly drawn, pulled inwards like he’s fighting a sudden stomachache. “You and John didn’t— did you?”

    “No,” is what George says. “But I thought about it, sometimes.”

    Paul sags at the shoulders, a relief of sorts that’s not yet enough to stop him from digging. “I didn’t know you were interested.”

    (Or: During the 1988 Traveling Wilburys recording sessions, George reflects on bandmates old and new.)

    Summary

    He listens to the sound of Robbie tapping out his ashes onto the hotel carpet, and licks his lips anxiously, because it goes so slow that Bob wants to rip the cigarette out of his hands and replace it with his own hand. He wants to kiss each of Robbie's knuckles and the calluses on his fingers.

    Summary

    “I used to live here, once.” Bob had said, walking arm against arm with George as they turned onto 23rd. His cap was pulled low, his hands stuffed into his pockets, his shades on. It somehow made him look more like holy-fuck-that’s-Bob-Dylan than less. George didn’t remember what he said in response, maybe ‘nice place’ or a noncommittal noise but he was sure that it wasn’t his idea to cross in the middle of the road, walk up and check in to the Chelsea.

     

    “Wanna see?” Bob had asked.

     

    “See what? The old pad?” George had asked, cheekily, oddly nervous.

     

    “You’ll see.”
