No idea what Ringo’s sexual thing is

I do know that I have met him several times (which for a kid from his era was huge), and he helped my son in the music industry, so I must disclose my conflict of interest (I do consider him a friendly person, but he probably wouldn’t remember who I am, except to say I am “so and so’s dad”, which is irrelevant to him)

In any event, I never really thought about “get back” as a song about sexuality.

I thought it more about when the shit hit’s the fan, get back to where you once belonged (your family and friends back home). That song carried many of us. Get back was timely, and had meaning beyond whatever someone wants to make of it now. When all hell was breaking loose, you just had to “get back”.

That’s how I read into it when I was far far away in a land of rice paddies. I didn’t care about shemales at that time, just wasn’t on my mind.

Lola? Different story. But I still loved the song. Different era, different times, different mind-set.

I always thought it was about a teenage girl who snuck out in “her mother’s high-heel shoes and her low-necked sweater.”
