In this case I think John Lennon was very misguided, because I'm pretty sure Paul slept pretty well at night. In fact, Paul probably barely had a thought about John at night. It was JOHN who wasn't sleeping at night.
But what it brings me to is, how do YOU sleep at night? Wouldn't life be a toss in a cotton field with faeries and angels giggling and and throwing you to each other through sun-filled corridors scented with chrysanthemums and silken pillows that rollicked with fun? Wouldn't that just be everyone's dream?
Well, we know it isn't, don't we, sorry for the hard landing.
ALL THE PEOPLE WHOM YOU'VE EVER MET IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE are, like it or not, standing in a LONG LINE to be remembered and recognized. That lowliest waiter in that long-forgotten restaurant . . . hey, you may have forgotten him, but MAYBE HE NEVER FORGOT YOU.
Maybe you're the person in his "Yeah, it was really funny, one day there was this guy . . ." and that would be YOU.
All those old girfriends. What. You think they magically disappeared you from their minds? Are you fucking crazy? Forget girfriends. All your friends. Everyone who ever knew you. Yes, going back to the tiniest time you can remember. Do you think they all forgot you? Did you forget THEM?
Never mind how you sleep at night. Who do you think of at night?
