Just read a review of Help! and the man reckons "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" is about Brian Epsteins gay crush on him!
After 30 odd years of Beatleology this is news to me.
Anyone else heard this?
Sounds dodgy to me

Yes, I heard it too. But only John knows the truth about this song.

I've heard that a few times also, I guess it is true, huh? Funny.

Makes sense to me. I heard John in a interview, say it was him trying to be Dylan. obviuosly before his contempt for him later.

yeah, in a book i read it said they had sex, and it was mentioned more than once...im taking this book to be a pretty good source, because it was written by peter brown.

I doubt that John ever had sex with any man.

i swear to god it said it in the book. i wasn't sure it was true @ 1st, but i did some research and it just might be true. peter brown was pretty close to john, u know? but idk...it could be made up.

Yeah, I read the book, too but I just don't believe that. I mean, even Cyn said he was as hetero as a man can get. Read the "The Love You Make" thread started by me in the books and magazines section to read what everyone else thinks.

As for YGTHYLA, I think it makes total sense to be written to Brian.


You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you.

Hm. I'm not gonna call John's sexuality into question (lol, I'm a bit of a slash fan. x3;, but it DOES sound like was written for/about Brian. It seems to fit the entire scenerio pretty well. :O


Things they do look awful c-c-cold... yeah, I hope I die before I get old.

Peter Brown was a lying prick.  Don't buy it.
