🎶 “Two of Us”: quando i Beatles ci insegnavano che perdersi insieme è il modo più bello per ritrovarsi
🚗 A volte non serve sapere dove si sta andando. Basta salire in macchina, scegliere una strada a caso, lasciarsi alle spalle la routine e avere accanto la persona giusta. È proprio questa la magia di “Two of Us”, una delle canzoni più intime, dolci e nostalgiche dei Beatles. Un brano che sembra fatto apposta per accompagnare un fine settimana senza programmi, tra ricordi, sorrisi e voglia di libertà.
❤️ Scritta da Paul McCartney nel 1969 e pubblicata nel 1970 nell’album Let It Be, la canzone nasce dalle sue avventure in automobile con Linda Eastman. I due amavano partire senza una destinazione precisa, imboccare strade sconosciute e lasciarsi sorprendere dal viaggio. Linda adorava perdersi, Paul un po’ meno, ma proprio da quelle piccole fughe nacque una canzone capace di raccontare qualcosa di universale: la felicità di stare insieme, anche quando non si sa dove si sta andando.
🎸 Eppure, quando partono le voci di Paul e John Lennon, così vicine e perfettamente intrecciate, “Two of Us” assume inevitabilmente anche un altro significato, perché è impossibile ascoltarla senza pensare anche alla loro amicizia, agli anni trascorsi fianco a fianco, alle canzoni scritte insieme e a quel legame straordinario che stava ormai attraversando i suoi ultimi giorni all’interno dei Beatles.
💭 C’è soprattutto un verso che, conoscendo la storia del gruppo, ci arriva dritto al cuore:
“You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead”.
Parole che sembrano racchiudere tutta la storia di John e Paul, dai pomeriggi di Liverpool alla conquista del mondo. Un passato immenso, condiviso, che nessuna separazione avrebbe potuto mai cancellare.
🌻 “Two of Us” ha il sapore delle cose semplici: un picnic improvvisato, una strada di campagna, una risata senza motivo, una giornata apparentemente qualunque che, molti anni dopo, scopriamo essere stata una delle più belle della nostra vita.
🚗 E allora, questo fine settimana, provate a fare come Paul e Linda: scegliete una strada senza preoccuparvi troppo della destinazione, mettete “Two of Us” in sottofondo e portate con voi qualcuno di speciale.
🎶 Perché, in fondo, non conta dove si arriva. Conta chi abbiamo accanto durante il viaggio.

Note: I was one of the few journalists to write about this, both for @miamiherald and an analysis in my Substack. For some reason, a lot of media didn't run the story, or failed to mention the on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president.

Elon, you goofy. 🤪Crashing out, because you don’t want to pay taxes. Don’t want some oversight into all the government money and contracts you made off with. Don’t want anyone looking into exactly what the F you did with DOGE. And whining about loosing an election. 🤪That’s part of democracy, bro. Welcome to America. This isn’t some South Africa back in the day 💩. You will get use to it. Sometimes you lose. Believe me. That’s what politics is. Oh. And. Watch the Elon Musk doc. It’s wild.

SIR PATRICK STEWART (1940-2026)
Before everything else, Patrick was defined by being born and bred in Yorkshire, the proud county in the north of England which he loved to the end. You could hear it in his accented voice and in the stern honesty with which he told you what he thought and felt. Yorkshiremen have no truck with half-truths or avoidance of big issues. He wore his heart on his sleeve, which made him a man to rely on, to admire and in my case, love.
We first met as ambitious young actors with the Royal Shakespeare Company half a century ago but we weren’t in the same productions. My first strong memory was a few years later, meeting him in the street in central London when he told me about an offer to take over a leading part in 'Star Trek'. “But Patrick think of your stage career in the UK. Do you really want to risk—getting lost in Hollywood for years and years?”. Well, he took the risk and thank goodness for us all that he did for not just his devoted Trekkies but film and theatre audiences, who marvelled at his using international celebrity to star in a string of cinema successes ('X-Men' of course) and in great classical plays by Shakespeare, Ibsen, Arthur Miller, Peter Shaffer, Pinter and Beckett at Stratford-upon-Avon, in London’s West End and on Broadway.
America was his adopted home, where he met his adored Sunny who has cared for him through sickness and health, through thick and thin. But he never forsook his origins: and the proudest achievement of the most respected and beloved actor of his generation on either side of the Atlantic, was his appointment as Chancellor of Huddersfield University in Yorkshire.
His farewell performance in 'Avengers: Doomsday' is yet to be seen.
