Fab Four Fri-Yeah Yeah Yeah

One of the more insane things that I forget about it until I remember it and then I go "this is insane" is that from 1963-1966 during the absolute peak of Beatlemania hysteria Paul McCartney moved to London and instead of being Mr. Big Swinging Bachelor About Town moved into the guest room of his girlfriend Jane Asher's parents' house:

“One night, when he missed his flight, Mrs. Asher graciously offered the guest room to Paul, just a flight of stairs away from where Jane slept,” reads The Love You Make: An Insider’s Story of The Beatles by Peter Brown and Steven Gaines. “It was, after all, foolish of him to rent hotel rooms in London all the time.”

McCartney moved in with his clothes and guitar and stayed for over two years. He wrote several songs during his time at the Asher’s house, including “Yesterday.” The Beatle’s girlfriend inspired such songs as “And I Love Her,” “You Won’t See Me,” and “I’m Looking Through You.”

The Ashers were unlike the families McCartney knew in Liverpool. They often partook in lively family discussions around the dinner table that would last all evening.

“A bit intimidated by this group at first Paul started to read for knowledge for the first time in his life,” reads TLYM. “Jane supplied direction with books and tickets to the ballet and theater. He soaked it up like a sponge, gratefully, happily, settling into this new life with Jane.”

I mean...dafuck?🤔🤷‍♂️

I don't know why the article didn't also mention  John & Paul wrote I Want to Hold Your Hand on the Asher's piano while Paul was living there, which all by itself gave the house landmark status, but oh well. Also incredibly, during this exact time he was going around London being inspired by experimental music, which would make a huge impart on Revolver.
