Alistair Taylor, Brian and John...

[nemperor]

So I've just finished reading Alistair Taylor's A Secret History. On the whole I found it a little disappointing--rather short and lacking in detail--but still with its interesting points

"If he'd asked me, I probably would have done anything he wanted. I was so much in awe of Brian then that I'd have tried a night of vice-versa. ... Even completely out of my head, I couldn't shag a bloke. And I certainly couldn't let one shag me. Even a nice guy like Brian. To be honest, the thought of it turns me over."

Huh? Would he or wouldn't he? I have a headache.

Well spotted! John Lennon certainly was capable of being self-contradictory at times, but it strikes me as more likely that this was a flaw in Alistair's reporting.

The other possibility, of course, is that John understood "vice-versa" and "shagging" to be two distinct activities...

Is "vice-versa" a bit of Brit slang with which I'm unfamiliar? What do you take it to mean there? Enquiring minds want to know....

[nemperor]

It is British slang, but I'm afraid I can't give you an exact definition. It just sounds familiar to me. I'm curious too!

Annoying me???

Oh hell no! Hahaa

If you want an example of truly annoying and argumentative, go here and get a load of the crap that one certain ignorant illiterate used to shovel on me ~ I hesitate to use her LJ name, but I'm certain you will know who I'm talking about (her first comment is 7 comments down).

In comparison, your debate is a jolly gay walk in the park! LOL
Not to mention intelligent, which means everything.
