"That's the only home I had with John. I'm not going to leave it." Tears.
My eyes welled up
Yeah , that done me in also.
That’s not correct, they had Tittenhurst Park as a home for 2 years before moving to NY. She’s being dramatic, because she didn’t like England.
It's like she's still waiting there for John to come home
@@belenramires1 but they never went back to it again after 1971. They DID own homes in Cold Spring Harbor, New York and West Palm Beach, Florida so she was incorrect.
She has held the flame for Johns ideals for 40 years after he died and that's enough for me. Happy Xmas. Peace and Love.
Yes, Yoko has done the Lennon estate proud. I'm sure John would be very happy.
I think she gets to much blame but her treatment of Julian wasn’t a shame
what are John's ideals? The peace and love guy hit women, mistreated his son and almost killed a guy in the early 60s who insinuated he was gay
About the only time I’ve seen Ross be 100% nice to a guest , good on him!
i see her and think of Julian Lennon ! People seem to forget about what was done to him by her!
What happened?
Real Beatle fans never blame Yoko. They blame Allan Klein.
Edit: this is a joke. Don’t take it so seriously.
in the new doc John says “Allan Klein is here!” and Paul makes a face of disdain
@@maddymud I noticed that as well. He had a ugh 😑 kind of face
But real Beatles fans don't like Yoko either...
@@MoreCovers that highly depends on the Beatles fan in question, in particular whether they respect or appreciate Avant Garde. The Beatles were heavily into Avant Garde, many of their fans aren't and weren't.
For me, John loved her and evolved for her, and Paul respected that John was in love. That's enough for me.
real beatles fans blame both
4:20. Look at her eyes. Oh my, she really loved him. ❤️😭
She was a narcissistic witch who detailed the Beatles. I have no sympathy for her.
Nah
@@matthewwalter5432 "This channel doesn't have any content." Sounds about right.
A must watch interview for any Beatles fan. Best interview I’ve ever seen of Yoko. Her warmth and love of John are palpable.
Yeah, she's amazing. I love her from the moment I saw her with John, she's such a sweet woman. They loved each other dearly and were totally inseparable, and I love how she handles his estate so well, many unknown gems of John were issued, like stuff from the anthology of John Lennon, or Lennon Acoustic, or the dvd Lennon Legend. I love the video's they made for these tracks, they took a lot from home video's (also from Gimme Some Truth, another great John & Yoko film) and other film material, she's a wonderful business woman and artist. She's around 88/89 now, I hope she stays healthy for a long time to come!
Luv Ya! Hi from Holland :)
@@baronsaturday9529 She screwed Julian out of his inheritance. She threw all of John's family members out of the houses he bought for them. Lovely lady.
I met her in the 80s. I was struck by her coldness,. Icy, like a reptile. I was taken aback.
She hypnotised him
@@Manorfarm007 I certainly worry g that far. I think the were horrible for each other. Everyone who knew them including their neighbors at the Dakota said they were toxic.
Just my two cents, but after studying the Get Back project and watching the relations with Yoko " sitting on the amp", I think the Beatles were incredible respectful and supportive of John at this point. Maybe they felt they had to treat him with kid gloves. But the whole time I'm thinking, can you imagine if Paul brought Linda in everyday and John was alone there???? John would have lit him up in seconds. Its my belief that Paul is obviously the defacto leader of the group at this point, and Johns bringing Yoko in was a bold move to show he was still Top Dog . Maybe he just needed the emotional support, Paul was on fire creatively.
Nice post. That's all I wanted to say...but I'll add this: She said the Dakota was the only home they had. Kind of not true.
Yes you’re right, Yoko cops a lot and it looks embarrassing tbh…but John is clearly a tad arrogant and the group just seems used to the pest being around nonsensically at this stage
@@bea78tles they did live on Greenwich and on Tittenhurst ... But at least all of *her memories* of being at home with both John and their son are at the Dakota
@@0000song0000 She doesn't remember living in a giant mansion in London for two years?
Well said. I watched Get Back closely too and found that Paul was incredibly tolerant and diplomatic about Yoko's ongoing presence. I didn't take much of a liking to John. Sure he's a musical genius, but bringing Yoko along stifled their creativity and it looked like it made George uncomfortable. It sort of gave John ammunition and he came across as arrogant. Having Yoko there is a bit like sharing a house with a couple. It was less of an issue for Paul because he's a musical genius and could work around it. I just wonder how many other great songs the Beatles could have produced if john hadn't met Yoko.
I miss Lennon/McCartney and I miss John and Yoko. I feel music history needed both John Lennons. The Yoko thing got blown out of proportion by the media. Think about it. Who would leave the Beatles because a girl friend was maybe a petty annoyance in the studio once or twice? History will show there was so much more to the break up but the Beatles loved each other like family. After 10 years they began feeling a little trapped in the Beatles and losing Epstein left them very vulnerable.
4:30 Such a shame that Ross says John and Yoko were the first activist musicians. Artists like Harry Belafonte and Sam Cooke were involved in the civil rights movement in the 50s. I love 60s music but this thing happens too often. Not everything started with the British Invasion.
She was everything to John, that's good enough for me.
she druged John lennon
@@gregmccurry5619 what is and how do I get druges
Exactly. Everything else is just people projecting hate for hates sake. Unnecessary bile.
Cynthia at one time was everything to John too.
She was the one who isolated him from friends and family, screened communications, kept his oldest son away, and also taught him how to do heroin.
All of John's family and friends (half sister, close friends)said after he was with Yoko they didn't know him. He was not John any more. Literally everyoner who ever knew them, including their neighbors at the Dakota, said they were horribly toxic and nasty, Creatlively, she sucked the life out of him. He only produced music when he was not with her. For Double Fantasy, the producer of the record said they could not be in the same building while making the record. They were also very well known for having public screawming arguments at A list parties. In one very famous incident they had a screaming fight and john screamed for every a lister to hear, GOD I WISH I WAS BACK WITH PAUL!
Wow... 50 years later
I learn that she actually does music.
i didnt even know she can talk...
Screaming and screeching but not singing 🎶 🎵 🤣
So great to hear her perspective as she looks back to that time.
I think so many blamed Yoko for the break-up, because she was tangible. It was clear they all had developed their own ideas that didn't involve each other, but you can't blame an idea for a break up, it's much easier to blame a person. Did she help? Well, no, but she wasn't the root of it either.
Yes, people often need a villain to neatly explain what upsets them or what they don’t understand and she was that for sure. Let’s be honest, whatever influence she did have over what was happening was directly tied to John. John set the boundaries (it failed to, in some ways) and it was likely a reflection of his feelings toward the band. It’s ultimately on him but it was far easier for people to be mad at her than to be mad at John Lennon.
She had her contribution without a doubt. She should never have stepped a foot in their recording studio. Terrible woman with no talent (look up a vid of her screaming in an art gallery), no consideration of others, no self awareness.
It really was epstein's death that began to form the cracks. Yoko had nothing to do with the breakup
She didn't break up the Beatles. John did.
In my humble opinion, here’s the reality:
1) Yoko did not break up the Beatles
2) But…she did show some selfishness, insensitivity and entitlement in being next to John every single minute during Let it Be sessions. Even if John asked her to be with him continually, Yoko could have put her foot down and said
“John, I love you and will be nearby. I’ll sit next to you a little here and there. But MOST OF THE TIME, you need to be alone with your bandmates concentrating on making your great Beatles music.”
That would have been the mature and right response for Yoko back then…as Linda was able to do it with Paul. So in truth, John and Yoko WERE INSENSITIVE to Paul, George and Ringo. That cannot be disputed. Let’s keep it real.
yeah i mean it is selfish but they were like insanely in love… also it’s john’s fault that she was around the band all the time it’s HIS band not hers lol
You could swap it and say that the band should have been more comfortable with her there. And like really contemplate why her presence was uncomfortable? She didn’t intrude. She was quiet as a bird. She understood her place. Her and John just wanted to let it be known that they were a unit now. There’s something admirable about that I think. Even though it’s something I can’t imagine doing myself, I think John and Yoko were precisely meant for each other. Idk.
Or maybe they were all confused and stuff just happened lol
@@josh__mclendon totally agree with you… let’s not forget .. who knew John was married and had a son when they first became famous! Good for her !
Yes absolutely! I love Yoko, but why would you sit in the middle and disturb this energy of a group of friends or in that work situation. It must be distracting to have someone out of your initial group there all the time I’m sure. So I agree with you on that, she could have even been there all the time but sit somewhere on the side. John was making such a statement with that, a bit rude really.
Don't forget, while let it be came out after Abbey Road, they still had the Abbey Road sessions not 3 weeks after the rooftop gig.
If there was some uncomfortable feelings around Yoko during let it be, they surely came to the surface during Abbey Road...
She looked so good both phisical and mentally back in 2013. It is sad to see her in her current health condition.
@@bryanmack7463 Not that long. Even Ringo looks younger in 2021 than 8 years ago.
@@bryanmack7463 For someone who is in their early 80s as opposed their late 80s...mentally and physically? Yes it is.
Just watched all 3 episodes of Get Back and all I saw was a woman sitting besides the man she loved, at no point did she ever interfere, she made John happy and this shows. You also see Paul sticking up for John and backing Yoko being there.
Agree, but to be fair this was also much later. The weirdness and tension was happening more during the White Album. By the time of Let It Be they'd adjusted somewhat. No hate for Yoko here though, it wasn't her fault. And John genuinely loved her. He brought her into the studio with a bed during the White Album because she'd just recently had a miscarriage. He was still just as devoted to The Beatles as he was to her, or they both would have been at home. Most critics don't even know about that side.
She didn’t interfere??? Paul says she did all the talking for John at the meeting with George. If you’ve heard that conversation uncut, Neil says she does all the talking at the Apple board meetings. She’s sitting there in the midst of them while they are practicing, creating, writing. They all (except John) said at one time or another it made them uncomfortable. If your significant other sat right next to you all day long at your place of work it would make your coworkers uncomfortable. Paul has said many times they only accepted her as a compromise because otherwise John would quit. It wasn’t as benign a situation as it seemed.
lolo the get back doc was 6 hours . They had 60 hours of film and audio . You can bet your ass yoko on no , or more likely her son sean had final approval before that series aired .
@@joegordon2915 Yes. And the footage we saw had to be approved by all of them and/or their estate reps. Yoko approved of every second of the film. If there was anything that Peter Jackson saw that would paint her in a bad light he most likely didn't even try to get it in the film. And if he did I think she had it taken out. I would do the same about a film about my life.
She is amazing and she look better at 80 then I do at 30.
Than you better visit a doctor I think.
@@paulbakker6765 😂 haha. I'm just fat! You know about that! 🤣At least I'm not on TV. It must be hard for you 😅
@@beebae9606 Hahaha...not really.
@@paulbakker6765 lmao yeah the RUclips comment section isn't going to fix your health Bee Bae.
She was born in 1933 and yes she does look great…
3:57 is the sweetest thing I've ever heard. how can anybody hate this woman
She broke up another man’s marriage, knowingly. Not very peace and love of her if you ask me
@@karrisquinn572 You say that as if she masterminded some homewrecking scheme and John played no role in it. They fell in love, John divorced Cynthia, and remarried with Yoko. These things happen all the time.
It’s so sweet when she didn’t let Cynthia Lennon attend johns funeral
You are deceived. She is incredibly evil. She hides what she really is.
Aww she got teary eyed when the audience awwwwed... precious
Yoko as a little girl is just priceless! That spirit is something that will always remain no matter what age. I think that's what John loved most about her. They were without a doubt kindred spirits.
This is the most delusional comment Ive ever seen
Yoko had a miserable childhood with distant parents. I guess you could say they had that in common, and it certainly remained in both of them no matter what age. Misery times two doesn't equal happiness.
I disagree with the replies above me. I must admit that I am a new listener of yoko, but it is known that a way of coping with childhood trauma is trying to act like a child as an adult. You could see this sort of as a way to “make up the time that was lost” in her childhood. I am glad I started to listen to her music before seeing the bombardment of hatred she has gotten over the Beatles situation. I have yet to know the full information that’s out about the Beatles situation, and I am aware that she could be a bad person, but I do not think she deserves the full crowd of hate she is getting over it. This reminds me of artists having one specific situation slapped onto their name. Even an artist such as Bjork, an insanely talented and ground breaking artist for music is subject to this, with a situation she had no direct control over. I don’t know if you people reading this know of the situation, and I will not explain this situation because from what I’ve seen, it brings a negative light to her name. A direct example of this would be me buying a bjork vinyl and showing my dad. I explained why I loved her music and I don’t remember the direct quote, but he mentioned something of this situation even without being familiar with her music. I personally blame media bringing most of the light to situations of this sort.
Thanks for reading my RUclips reply/music industry critique/rant. Wish you all the best.
@@garbagejuice1 Learn about how she treated John's family. Absolutely atrocious.
The silliness is absolutely something they shared. The two also shared a deep sadness and sort of loss of innocence and I actually think that plays into their silly streak. You can see how they both lifted one another and, at times, brought out the darkest and worst in each other. I imagine for each of them it was an unparalleled experience of love.
Great interview. Double Fantasy is a fantastic record, made better with Yoko's contributions. Lovely to hear her talking about John and her past experiences in such a positive way. Respect.
Yea
Traaa La La La La La La La
🤮 yoko
Her contributions mostly sucked!Fact
Johns final songs were brilliant.........
It's so refreshing to see an interviewer who does not talk over his female guest. Well done, Jonathan Ross!
What gets lost in the sauce sometimes, is people not realizing that she lost both a husband and the father of her son, biggest blow to a family nucleus, not just a legendary songwriter of the world.
Then she screwed Julian out of his inheritance, sold off his letters to John so he had to but them back at auction; and threw all of John's family out of the houses he bought for them. No excuses.
i think julian could have gotten more of his father after post beatles
@@ajayghanekar2880 He should have. Yoko actively interfered by screening John's calls and letters.
@@loosilu if Julian can forgive her, we fans can too.
@@blackwolf4653 Julian is a far better person than me. He also had Paul to help him out (Paul paid for Julian to buy his letters back at auction). John's other family members who were treated like trash by Yoko were not so lucky,.
For good or bad,
Yoko always stay'd
true to herself
The crazy one or the bad singer one?
The one thing I’m sure about is Yoko was a monster to Julian Lennon.
Well said her son is now worth $200 as she is Julian got beaten down by lawyers . This turned me against this woman who has lived in Johns reflection
@@andrewwhite3793 exactly. I don’t really know or care about if she “split up The Beatles” she was an absolute cruel tyrant to Julian.
You can feel the positive vibe from Yoko. No wonder John fell in love with her.
Yes
You're joking, right?
@@carmenbrown3437 🤣
I grew up in the 79s hearing from all my elders how she destroyed the Beetles and for years that was my reality on the subject. But by the time I was twenty I the early 90s I began digging deeper and began to see things far different. So glad I’m recent times it has been revealed the truth. It is clear that her and John were deeply in love with each other. One of my favorite bits in the new Beetle doc that Paul is heard saying that she and John love each other that is that and good o them. The rest chime in positive on that as well. Hope we have her for more years to come.
Beatles not Beetles
I was born in 84 and I heard something similar from my father, he disliked her for “changing” John. Growing up I saw her more as someone who encouraged him to do whatever he wanted to, after watching the Get Back documentary I saw that they were madly in love, I think if I was their friend I would be annoyed with them being together ALL THE TIME, but she seemed so quiet, I don’t think she had nothing to do with them breaking up, they all seemed bored, tired and worn out.
Does love include ADULTERY?
@@JoseliJunior, see ABOVE.☝
@@TheWorldTeacher All The emphasis was put on Yoko, John was the one who was married and cheering on his wife, he’s the one to blame. But I was talking more about her role in breaking up the bad, I don’t think she none, it was just cringy and annoying for her to be there all the time.
I watched the Beatles movie and Yoko was not intrusive. She just sat next to John the whole time, and John, Paul, and she had some fun in the studio while waiting for the others to arrive. Also, before George quits, John is kind of uninterested, but once they leave the movie studio and into Apple, he seems to get more into it.
She was only intrusive in John’s marriage
You clearly have never been in a band. Sitting around in the band circle when they are rehearsing nearly all the time is already intrusive. It annoyed me just watching 8 hours of all these weeks, I can just imagnine how the other three must have felt about it. John seems to be uninterested though in that Twickenham film studio, I had the same feeling.
@@eily_b also didn’t like when she was screaming into the microphone. You’re right, she wasn’t just there, she was in their circle.
@@johnurban7333 Takes two to tango.
@@eily_b I completely agree. Seeing the film it was not AS BAD as I initially thought, there were a lot of other people hanging around as well and Yoko was knitting or working. But still.. she is right there in the middle of their energy. That’s a lot.
This is Super Epic!….wowwww Jon Ross 💙💙💙🥰
They need to make a movie about their relationship. The word is thrown around so much these days for trashy reality stars, or tik tokers, or youtube celebs, that it doesnt mean much, but John and Yoko's relationship was ICONIC... Should def be made into a movie in the theaters, with amazing writers, director etc.
There is a movie about their relationship called John and Yoko a love story
Actually they should make a move about John and Cynthia’s relationship. That also was a love story starting before John had any money. Yoko was the mistress. Can’t forget about the first wife
they should mention in the movie their heroine use and infidelity and how Yoko set Lennon up with May Pang. Lennon even admitted being physically abusive to Yoko. They broke up once and would have again. Not a healthy relationship.
@@jameslong7128 I agree, make the movie honest. It wasn't always about love.
John and Yoko A Love Story in full ruclips.net/video/MlTZRynp5j0/видео.html
You know, I hear things about her that make me want to dislike her. Then I see her in interviews and she seems like a wonderful woman. When he asked her about still living at the Dakota her eyes were filled tears. They seemed very much in love. We all have our flaws I suppose. The only thing I wish was that Julian was showed love like Sean was.
She has gotten a lot of shit through the years, but whenever Johns killer came up for parole she was there to say HELL NO. Plus she never left the home they shared? I have heard all kinds of awful things about this woman. I have read that she never loved John. These are not the actions of someone who didnt love someone. She is just a very strange person and probably on the spectrum a little bit. She doesn't deserve the hate she received through the years though. John was his own man and he did what he wanted.
As paul said in the docu..jonh will never choose the band over yoko. Even if they are irritated at yoko sometimes, they allowed her to be with him all the time while in session. That's a great respect for jonh. No other band will allow that.
She's just a small part of why the beatles broke up..klein is the big part of it..regardless, they will still break up no matter what..they have nothing to prove at their young age..they are exhausted and want to continue on their own music.
Yoko is a big part of lennon's legacy..even paul said, maybe jonh could not write all those songs if he hadnt met yoko.✌
The poor woman had to witness John’s murder and now endure the pain…every day….of living without him and missing him terribly. It’s an awful thing that she didn’t deserve. She’s awesome.❤️
And poor the world who had to listen to her screeching wails.
I'm not saying she wasn't traumatized by John's murder or witnessing firsthand the horrible way he died that night, but she didn't waste any time moving Sam Havadtoy in or letting him wear John's clothes. Just sayin'
After John died, she kicked his family out of the homes he had bought for them. Then she absolutely screwed Julian.
Dan she moved her boyfriend in the next day after John was shot. And she has plenty of John's money to help her.
@@Chinachik exactly 💯. I just said that a few minutes ago on here.
If you appreciate Lennon, show his widow the corresponding respect.
Glyn Johns recounts in his memoir the extremely uncomfortable situation John posed for the rest of the band when he had Yoko sit on the same chair and answer for him. This behavior is edited out of GET BACK During recording of ABBEY ROAD Yoko was installed in a bed with a microphone to comment on the album's progress. However sweet she may appear today she was encouraged by John to be a meddling nincompoop back then, and of course it contributed to the end of the Beatles.
Who cares what she did or didn’t do. The albums are there and are amazing.
@@seres-de-luz
Would you also defend Hitler the same way?
@@standinsilence Were Hitlers albums any good?
@@bopmathews
Never heard of him involved in any sort of music but Ive heard people say his paintings were "almost as bad as Yokos".
She has copped a lot of criticism over the years. Been blamed for this and that and I have to admit that I've been one of those voices too from time to time. But I don't feel any of that anymore. I have now come to understand that she was a vital component of something amazing. She was the inspiration for such iconic music. I have deep respect for her now.
And how do explain her treatment of Julian? D
You never hear Yoko mention Cynthia in interviews. Hmmm, I wonder why
This is the same woman who made Lennon’s son pay for his letters from his father at an auction. She’s not exactly a good person everybody could see that
Random Guy True. I'm not one of those Beatles fans who blames Yoko for the band breaking up. It's obvious the split was inevitable. Brian's death pretty much started that ball rolling and it went straight into Klein's grubby grabby little hands. But her treatment of Julian after John's murder was entirely on her. Yes, John could've amended his Will and made provisions, but it's not like he was on his death bed and a fairly physically healthy man who has just had a 40th birthday isn't typically thinking they won't live to see their 41st. That left his estate in her hands, and she really should've done better by Julian even if mainly for Sean's sake. Just saying, in her position I would prefer my son building a closer relationship with his older brother, especially for being a small child who no longer had a daddy. Thank goodness Julian and Sean are close despite the wedge all that disputing could've driven between them. Julian finally decided to forgive her and it's because he doesn't want his brother to feel caught in the middle of all that crap anymore.
@@johnurban7333 Why would Yoko ever feel the need to mention her dead husband's ex wife? One of the reasons John and Cynthia broke up was because of his fame... she was uncomfortable with it. It was also one of the reasons the marriage was kept secret for so long - to protect her from public scrutiny that she didn't deserve nor want.
Jonothan Ross, he's just full of humour and the audience, wow.
Such a warm and pleasant person! And so well dressed! I'm just discovering Yoko from the "Get Back" doc and was curious how she is now. Daang, feeling like I might be more a fan of her than the Beatles 😆. So unashamedly herself and living life well.
She's still so way ahead of her time that many people still just don't get her. I have admired Yoko Ono from afar ever since I discovered who she was at a young age. I felt some sort of empathy for Yoko even back in the early 70s. Hard for me to explain but it still resonates for me because hatred or being classified as different still happens to me now and then. Anyway, go Yoko! 😇
She didn't give her step son his notes from his dad, John Lennon
Really 😂😂😂😂
@@jalisabradford6201 Really for me or really for the other comment? Either way is fine with me. I don't know how old you are but when Yoko and John got together she was portrayed as a dragon lady who broke The Beatles up. She was discriminated and hated in such an awful way. Many people still blame her for The Beatles' break-up and it's unfair.
Yes, breaking coffee cups and glueing them back together on the Mike Douglas show was ahead of her time. I just buy new ones when I break one. Ever hear Yoko talk about Cynthia? Most women don’t approve of the mistress but I guess if it’s Yoko its ok
@@johnurban7333 I can't comment about things I know nothing much about.
I never thought i would see yoko ono and vin diesel in the same room
The world owes this special woman a deeply heartfelt apology.
I agree with you for the most part she is a sweet women that's been through alot. Although her treatment and dismissing of Julian and giving him part of his father's legacy, inheritance and possessions of John's is absolutely wrong and she handled it all rather poorly
No. You obviously never heard about her keeping Julian's inheritance from him.
I really don't. Not only did she screw Julian, she also threw all of John's family out of the houses he had bought for him. She basically treated all of his family like trash. Why do I need to apologize?
@@loosilu Just because she is famous it doesn't give you the right to get involved in something that is quite frankly none of your business. What happened with Julian is nothing to do with you.
@@onemanfran Having an opinion isn't getting involved. Her actions towards Julian as well as John's entire family were utterly disgusting.
Love you and John! Bless you Yoko ❤
So many years working on the Imagine Peace Project. Amazing times. Peace is Power.Yoko Ono has been bringing themes of political, Climate Exchange, manifesting against war crimes with the lightening of the Imagine Peace Tower. John would say: nobody told me there would be days like these, maybe seeing what happens after all around the world.
Ok yeah I’m a huge Beatles fan, that’s why I’m here. I didn’t, however, expect the absolute relatability of “Well. I could jog maybe, too. But I don’t.”
“You were with him when he got shot” omg don’t say that to her what the fuck is wrong with you? That’s a whole ass trauma thing
That lady is one strong woman. All those hatred and pain that she endured for decades and to see how she is now is very inspiring.
She is now on life support and circling the drain. She and Joh's relationship was toxic and destructive.
@@loosilu not for John and Yoko and Sean.. That's what should really matter. We're all just outsiders.
@@glymusic Sean and Julian are very close. It matters quite a lot to them.
@@loosilu exactly, there wouldn't be a Sean if it wasn't for that relationship.
@@glymusic Yoko was absolutely disgusting to Julian.
wow, she really teared up when he asked about the Dakota.
shes right ,i wouldnt move away from a place i considered our home ,it keeps there memory alive for you ,its somewhere were you were both happy
Most famous yet most misunderstood Beatle wife
I like to think Yoko and Vin were having a fire conversation in the back before this. All about movies and dragons and prolly family or something
This last year I revisited the music she and John Lennon made and it was amazing to me that it sounded like a precursor to music by wonderful female artists like Feist. Artists that have fun making unique tracks.
I’ve always felt that the hate directed at her was unfair. She and John absolutely loved one another, deeply, and that love made John a better, more peaceful man.
Does true love involve ADULTERY?
She's been influencing people for over forty years: ruclips.net/video/2VCCiY17hKw/видео.html
She was actually ahead of her time. and ended up influencing the future music scene.
haha you people are something else, "ahead of her time" "unique tracks" LOL come on
@@photographerjonathan Yeah, she was many years ahead of this great underground scene of the 80's, she's a pioneer of avant garde and experimental music.
For the longest time I hated Yoko because I believed the Beatles broke up because of her. I do know the following she is one smart business lady. Extremely brilliant when it comes to money finances and what not. I’ve grown to like her the last 20+ years which is nice for me to not hate her for some dumb ass reason. 😊❤
I'm glad I'm not the only person who loves Yoko Ono. 80 years old and she still has all her facilities. My favourite song by Yoko: MidSummer New York, because I grew up in New York City.
I think she is a very lovely woman in all honesty. I’m not really a big fan of her music but that doesn’t hinder my impression of her.
She didnt destroy the beatles she destroyed my ears
Her vocal range is insane
God bless Julian, Yoko, Sean, and John in heaven
Come to find out,George really broke up Beatles, he'd had it by 1969,he wanted out in 1966!
My Grandpa, an english amatorial film maker living in Margate was once walking Toby (his Dog) on the beach. He still have some Super8 films or kind of cassettes in a box somewhere from the day when he met John and Yoko on the beach filming "something funny"! When he saw the video of this song on TV he realised that on that morning he (in some way) was testimony of the creation of a Masterpiece!
That's so cool!!
she has a pleasent speaking voice i can totally imagine how it would sound singing notes. but the only thing that comes to mind is the chuck berry thing at the moment
John loved her and Yoko loved John and they love their child Sean.. seems very ok.
Abandoned Julian. She loves John’s money that for sure.
@@JC-sj2pd That's the way it goes.
@@JC-sj2pd I hate the way she abandoned Julian and that's why I dislike her.
@@francisheperi4180 really? Nah, I don’t buy it. Most decent humans don’t do things like that.
Look up the video with John Lennon and Chuck Berry, then you can see the absolute maniac this woman truly is.
Mother superior...
John was a genius.
It sucks that she was always drawn into the Beatles drama. It made us forget that she was a real artist with so much talent
@AlexxEnglishh she was an artist in her own right before she ever met Lennon, also a proto-feminist and a pioneer in the art of peaceful protest against war. Throughout her whole life she has remained true to herself and to the beliefs and ideals she developed alongside Lennon. She commands the utmost respect for her many, diverse achievements.
@@irenahalder I know... but the majority of the population doesn't know or see that which was my point.
It sucks that Charles Ponzi was always drawn into Ponzi schemes, too.
Yes. Amazing talent like making a movie of peoples asses or imitating a cat being tortured.
Yoko was one of my first followers on Twitter 11 years back
Yoko is an artist and she never changed that
She's close to 90 now
Shes such a lovely woman i met her years ago and she was very warm
This interview is EIGHT YEARS OLD. Why are you presenting it as a new interview?????
She hasn't been seen in years due to deteriorating health. She's almost 90.
He always reposts older interviews how haven’t u seen that
@@NotSoRandom_ No I haven't. The guy is a sleaze for posting this old interview without ANY mention that its ancient. He's a youtube vulture. Total sleaze desperate for clicks by any means necessary.
@@pm829 mate read the description
All interviewers should watch and learn from Russel Brand. He actually actively listens and responds to his guests. So many have their set questions and don't really pay attention to their guest. Interrupting, not listening and try desperately to be funny. Ross is a prime example of how to conduct a poor interview.
Awesome interview. Have loved her since I was a teen - wow 50 years!
I’m so glad to see so many positive comments towards Yoko , she’s an extremely underrated talent that deserves respect
how could anyone suspect she broke up the beatles? if she changed john, so be it. he loved her, and i can see why 💕
don't let her fool you --- she was one of the main reason the Beatles broke up ....
Incredible woman.
How much do you sleep?.... How much water do you drink Yoko?.... and how was your relationship with the Beetles??? 😂😂
Lol
May when you learn to spell the band’s name properly then you can criticize.
@@mattwilliams489 wasn't criticising anyone 🤣🤣 never heard of autocorrect 😂😂😂😂 sorry Ringo...
@@roryobrien3884 you can edit your comment to 'Beatles'. See those 3 little dots in the bottom right of your comment, click on it.
I was talking about the insects.
After Brian died they were on borrowed time. Paul kept them together but ultimately he also pushed them apart. I think really it was just time. However, had Billy Preston joined the group I think they would have made it another year or two.
People have their opinions about Yoko's effect on the beatles but isn't the point that John loved her and she loved him and it was a beautiful thing
I always loved Yoko. Women always get the blame but just like Nora Barnicle and James Joyce, without her creative influence the male 'genius' would not have flowered so beautifully.
I appreciate many things about Yoko and I really dislike some other things, the way she treated Julian speaks a lot about who she is deep down inside, a selfish greedy woman who exploited John, she's a genius because she knew how to control him.
John & Yoko were pioneers.
Active Against WAR .
Corrupt Politicians.
Woman's rights . Human rights.
Really cool of Paul to set record straight.
Remember they were still in there Twenties.
Allen Kein on Business side .
Pressures of that enterprise THE BEATLES.
Glad Yoko is doing well.
Unique Artist.
She looks great .
I love how it's only now people are realising Yoko Ono was a good person and wasn't to blame for anything, like 60 years later 😂. Hope this teaches people to not to believe headlines.
Her Voice Sounds So Beautiful.
I lover her new song. I think it’s called Aaaahhhooooooo Woooooowoooo Ahhhhh.
When the other Beatles are ever asked about Yoko the silence is deafening.
Or they say that everything's fine and she's awesome and blah blah blah. They just don't want to rock the boat.
@@francelaferriere6106 They knew what she truly was.
I doubt she made that band break up. I do feel she should have given Lenon some space when he was writing and recording with the band.
He didn't want it.
@@jsullivan2112 that doesn’t matter. She wasn’t a member of the Beatles. She should have left him alone out of respect for the other members of the band. I have nothing against her it’s just an observation.
@@chihuahuaman7025 I don’t think you’re in any position to “observe” what she should or shouldn’t have done, frankly.
John definitely has a big smile now !
I think your mistaking it with wailing and gnashing of teeth. God will not be mocked. Imagine that.
@@JC-sj2pd Funny , I know you wouldn't say that to Johns face-about the woman he choose to love and live life with ,troll.
He should, he’s back with Cynthia
@@decencywarrior9598, does love include ADULTERY?
@@johnurban7333, yet they are BOTH deceased.
Allan Kleim put a huge divide between them which the other 3 apologised to McCartney when they realised McCartney was right
"People like to demonise. People like drama."
That's an accurate assumption Jonathan and Yoko...
I'm glad Yoko is able to use all the negative energy and turn it into a positive. I hope we stop finger pointing towards others so much in future generations, because change is inevitable and scapegoating is just creating so much hurt and arguing and basically it's the root of all contention and war. Nobody owned John or any of the Beatles. They grew and wanted different things. And that's okay. That's amazing if you really think about it.
Let's pray for peace and not spread unnecessary hate and remember we only think we know what went on, but we can never really truly know. And how would any of us feel ourselves getting falsely blamed and harassed for something for decades... We would need to build lots more prisons with that kind of thinking.
Some people will be adamant that you were to blame for something when you were not. Everyone has had that experience. Some people might thrive off of that kind of drama, but many people don't. Sure it's part of being in the spotlight, but it's not a necessary part. It's not an excuse to incite hate. Instead of saying we need to grow thicker skin, we can all just do better and spend our energy in creating beautiful things instead🕊
"The whole world is becoming activists, and that's how we make it"
I think she meant 'break it'.
Lol keep crying bruh
how tf do you break the world with activism?
She's 88 now, this is an old video.
Yes it says 2013 in the description
Yes and wheelchair bound .she claims she is suffering from an illness but dosent say what
Beatles blood keeps her young
I have always thought Yoko was so cool. John would not have loved her if she wasn't the special person she is.
What's the matter with Vin Diesel in the beginning? Really didn't understood that vibe over there ..
I've always found him a little unsettling and strange on chat shows. Especially when he's around other celebrities. Then again he might just be a shy guy.
Her voice is so so cute! Bless you, Yoko. Bless you.
Let's be clear. Yoko wasn't the only one who was blamed for the breakup of The Beatles. Paul was blamed (unfairly) too which is ironic when you consider he was the major force behind keeping them together for as long as they were.
Paul copped so much, from fans and critics alike, after they split, it was outrageous. Critics wrote his solo music off completely after the group's demise, and mostly out of spite. He drank himself into a major depression and suffered greatly, so Yoko wasn't alone in being on the receiving end of all the negativity, or in the distress felt.
I think both Paul and Yoko have been treated poorly in regards to this event. She wasn't solely to blame (although her constant presence in recording sessions wouldn't have helped), each person played their part. But, I won't canonise her purely on the basis that John chose her to be his wife.

4:02 You don't need to remind her that her husband was murdered
I agree. That was an awful clanger from Ross.
