”Recently I’ve become very popular with both girls and homosexuals, they tell me I’m the sweetest most beautiful boy. Imagine, me, the one who had such a complex because I was small and thought I was ugly. It appears that people refer to me as the James Dean of Hamburg, I’m quite flattered.”
-Stuart Sutcliffe
(quote from the Documentary The Lost Beatle)
“Red around the fire
And fire in the red
And red burns all desire
And rushes to my head
Apillow on your bed
The bed where i did pillow
The head were your love fled
And a recent heart did wither.”
Poem written by Stuart Sutcliffe, 1955 (15 years old).
