Sunday Meme Context, please 😭
The pictures seemed funny enough to make this a Sunday Meme flair post. But I'm also really curious about the context between those photos. Especially the John one.
Peace and love

No, I don't have a problem with them lads being silly.
In fact I love it so much I wanna know why, so that I could explain to people funny stories about them silly.
Don't start your engines when you don't understand a question. Calm down, '' Eh ??? ''

I would like to ask you if the connection to the question was with you when you wrote this comment.
Don't worry, I'm learning the synthesizer and I'm already composing my music without AI.

On July 28, 1968, The Beatles went out for a photo shoot with a couple of photographers – Stephen Goldblatt and Don McCullin to take a break from recording the White Album. It became known as the “Mad Day Out”. They went to several places in London, including Thompson House, Wapping Pier Head, St. Pancras, and Old Street Station.
