@@LuceroMcCartneySeeing John and Paul’s wholesome collaborative friendship fizzle out is quite sad isn’t it. I wish John wasn’t taken from us so early. 😢
Maybe if he got close to Julian and started treating him right. Also, if he would stand up to oh no and not fawn over her and make her think she can sing and a few other things. Then YES, he would have been a cool old man if he had lived.
His statement “if I can’t have a fight with my best friend who can I have a fight with?” Is profound. Friends aren’t there just to blow smoke in yer ass. They provide push back when necessary. I think John and Paul loved each other all the way even if they were pissed about something.
They definitely loved each other. A few years ago I saw a video of Paul playing “Here With Me” in a Nashville music store, Paul got so choked up when he sang “… But as for me, I remember how it was before And I am Holding Back The Tears No More… Ooh, I Love You, Ooh…” Paul got so choked up, he could barely finish the song
@@robiandolo - Lennon hated McCartney’s RAM album, dismissing his former songwriting partner's efforts as "muzak to my ears" in his song "How Do You Sleep?" He stated "I feel sad about Paul's albums ... I don't think there's one good tune on Ram ... he seems to be going strange." Does this sound like a “friend”?
I never met him, so I don't know how I could miss him, and his palatable music contributions were all behind him so I´m not missing anything there, but I do wish he hadn't been taken out the way he was.
Paul even said John was mellowed out by the time he died, he'd call him and they'd talk like old pals, Paul said he was the old John he used to know again. And if you listen to his last interview, he had a lot of hopes for the 80s and seemed so much happier with the world, he had a lot of good things to say... its sad
Double Fantasy was a huge disappointment and a literal piece of crap. John had lost it. He only had his reputation providing a headwind into the 1980s and if that mellowed well it was over, barring the clutches of you disingenuous acolytes - the literal kind of fawning people John despised. The bullet did his reputation a world of good ...I would have hated having to listen to a wincing John tinkling out a crowd-pleasing "Frog Chorus." Of course, it would have been better he just did the great Garbo thing and stayed banged up in the Dakoda Building. John was past it ...nothing to see here any more.
Lmao!! I HOPE that other guy was kidding!! Did you ever see the tape of John and Yoko on the Mike Douglas Show where Chuck Berry was also a guest? Berry was a hero of John's and they played some old Chuck standard (idk...Johnny B. Good maybe) along with Yoko? OMG... they're singing and then she joins in with her shrieking and John gave her the death stare. I thought it was hysterical because, as you know, he always defended her as a true "artist" that was ahead of her time... until I guess she messed with HIS idol. Also, idk if you ever heard that John liked the B-52's "Rock Lobster' when it came out because he said the weird vocal sounds (which were obviously sorta jokes about how various sea life might possibly sound) validated Yoko's no talent shrieking.
He knows how to speak without help. She just likes to interrupt to be noticed and if you can't understand him then you need help, it's rather clear to most.
He got use to blocking her voice out. My brother dated a woman like yoko, always interrupting conversations. I myself, had to learn to just ignore her and continue with the conversation.
No one wanted her performing on stage either. Ever see the video of John doing a song with Chuck Berry, where she starts screaming? The look on Chuck's face.

How Do You Sleep was John's response to the song Too Many People in which Paul surreptitiously criticized John... And Lennon responded directly in a cruder way, as he was.
You forgot that Paul was most likely responding to the horrible crap john unloaded on Paul in John's interview with Rolling Stone magazine called Lennon Remembers. Which John later dismissed as rubbish and he was stoned during the entire interviews.But sadly most people writing for years after used Johns attacks on Paul and Pauls music as "gospel truth" in books and articles when even John had already said he was stoned and making up crap cause he was mad.
@@hammer44headJohn was angry with Paul for several reasons, including that he was the one to announce that the Beatles had broken up when it was John who dissolved the group. Then there was the issue of the Apple's business, with the entry of Allen Klein as manager. John eventually acknowledged that he was wrong about Klein and that Paul was right. That is why in recent years they have been back to having contact and a cordial relationship between old colleagues. John's death prevented us from seeing how their relationship would have developed... I am sure that they would have made music together sooner or later... And I'm convinced that the Beatles made records and went on world tours.
The relationship between The Beatles must have been extremely close because their children are all very close today even after they broke up. Yes, I get it they have a multimillion dollar empire, Apple, to run together, but the fact that each of them wishes each other Happy Birthday and has photos together shows it was a family. Families fight. And truth is nobody in the band was a shrinking violet. They were all tough scousers.
@@yankeecarolyn376 it definitely wasnt the press but could have been yoko. She seemed nice enough but either she or john had no sense of workplace boundaries. She was always physically in the middle of their work.
Difficult to like, but *Growing Pain* and *Death of Samantha* are good songs imv. Lennon was so unfiltered which was creative energy whereas Paul always understood PR too
She’s probably the most annoying person in the history of the world. I remember watching a video of John playing with Frank Zappa out in San Francisco. Of course Yoko has to get up on stage, too. Frank and John start playing their jam with the band, and Yoko just starts screaming into her microphone like she’s being killed. Frank looks up at John with this look on his face like “Would you please choke her to death John?” John has no idea that other people don’t like this, and just is oblivious to the situation. Frank finally motions to the sound engineers to cut her mic off. Yoko has no idea and continues caterwauling…
@@lennyanders1639 there's a channel on Ytube called ' Iamaphoney' its got a absolutely brilliant edited psychedelic documentary, but very very convincing whether ultimately you decided its a hoax its very very good worth a watch if you are aware of the rumours, i must come back to that channel 2wice a year its a good watch 👍
El se referia a el verdadero Paul(James Paul McCartney 1942-1966, QEPD. cuando lo llamó su mejor amigo Hombre .(para diferenciarlo de que a Yoko la menciono como "mejor amiga"en general o "en todos los frentes"
He Basically said it there. Let it rest on those words. Those guys loved each other and it will be what it is. Rest assured, they loved each other. And no more questions asked.
I’ve seen that video of Yoko screeching like a dying bird and scaring the bejesus out of Chuck Berry so I can’t take anyone who defends her seriously 😂
Even John was embarrassed of her making an ass out of them in front of Chuck Berry, one of John's heros. Chuck was rolling his eyes. You wouldn't bring your 2-year-old with you to co-host a TV show and run amock.
He was still so young here. He died when he was only 40 years old. Thankfully he was blessed with the talent of a true artist and blessed with a way to reach the world with that beautiful expression. His still is simply human and still very young here and I hope he had many friends that fueled his interests and passion for art and music instead of just hangers on that don’t understand what it is like to live with this type of genius. It keeps its own focus and has a life of its own when a person has the lovely chance Lennon had to embrace it. Still in the midst of our awe of him here and our interest in every stupid detail surrounding him remember he was simply human like everyone. My heartbreaks that the rest of what John Lennon’s life journey as an artist got cut short and the world lost so very much if he had lived I hope he would have continued to share his genius with us. Protect and support our artists they are where are culture lives and takes on meaning practice appreciation of the arts so we may bring more people as brilliant as John Lennon to the fore front.
I never liked her! I think she was one of the biggest contributing factors to the Beatles Break up. I was 10 and someone got on the school bus and said did everyone hear the Beatles broke up. I was kind of shocked! It was my first band breakup!!! I liked all Johns post Beatles stuff, and his kid too!!!
I don't like Yoko but what I'm more concerned about was that their friendship obviously dissolved at the end of The Beatles I hope they reconciled in the seventies it seems like they did apparently they're even hanging out watching Saturday Night Live Together in New York and almost went down and did a reunions I wish they had. It sounds like from what I've heard from Paul that they were at peace with each other at the end thank God.
They aren't stupid question. John's song is very vindictive. The lines about" the best thing you did was Yesterday ", and Sgt.Pepper bashing, etc. If you were Paul hearing this, you would be insulted,hurt, embarrassed! For John to sit there so calmly and ask if you can't fight with your best friend.....I ask why couldn't you do it in person or with a phone call? Remember, it was the 70s era and cell phones ( texting) home computers ( email ) were decades from reality! John admitted he published his lyrics, Paul doesn't. I dontbown any Lennon solo albums. I assume when he says publish it means in the record sleeve ( a Beatles first) . Yoko putting her half a cent in saying " its a beautiful song " is no help " defending " John much like a fart in church it echoes but means nothing!!" Paul was very hurt by John's attack, but he wrote songs back,that were NOT blatantly obvious. In interviews in the late 90s and even now,Paul explains his lyrical response. The factory sounds at the beginning of "Silly Love Songs" was a direct response to John accusing Paul of being like a machine in a factory, pumping out songs with no meaning or depth. The opening line " you think people would've had enough of silly love songs, butvI look around me and I see it isn't so" and " some people want to fill the world with silly love songs and whats wrong with that, I'd like to know?" Cause here I go again!!" Paul was firing back at John for accusing Paul that all he could write was silly love songs. He used those words to hurt Paul because he wrote some of the best early Beatles songs which were love songs. John the hypocrite co- wrote many of them based on Paul's starting a song, John adding lyric or musical input to finish the song! I have heard this song for decades now and still love it. Until Paul explained the reason for this song, it sounds like a beautiful song about his wife Linda with the bridge, " How can I tell you about my loved one " and Linda 's " I love you, he gave me more, he gave it all to me, can't you see" . This I thought was Linda answering back that she loves Paul above all. However, the double meaning ( which Paul is famous for) is that Paul is trying to tell John, you hurt me deeply but I still love you, and I want to tell you about it but because of the rift you created, I cant! Now had Paul not explained this, COULD YOU ever imagine that this was a response to the attack on Paul by John? I sure didn't! Apparently there were more Paul's songs written to reply to John. Paul hides his messages so eloquently that you will never know because it's cleverly written so that only John would get it because of how close they were ( like brothers) AS they both admit! This fulfills John's question "if you can't have a fight with your best friend who can you with?". Its like 2 kids fighting over something "silly" ultimately!!
@@gvgv3515 a stinky, smelly fart, in church or anywhere else has great meaning. It says a lot about your health, your diet and your microbiome. We are an unhealthy species and living "outside" of nature is the source of all dysfunction in our social systems. How can a socio political economic system function if each and every individual in that system is dysfunctional.
Thanks, I had the same emotional reaction, even though he's been dead a long time, and it doesn't bother him. Funny how I feel about the Beatles -- like they're old friends that I never met. Peace. ✌️
@@ashleyashley9008 John didn't do anything he didn't want to do. He loved her and wanted her around him. He was content obviously when his life was taken from him. People love to hate.
@@ashleyashley9008Infantilizing John? Have you ever seen the nude photos they took together for Rolling Stone? John looks like he regressed back to his inner child with Yoko filling in for his mother (who died when he was very young.)
A great track is about lyrics and music. If it’s only 50% good, it’s not good song. And it’s not about having an opinion about the lyrics. The lyrics are objectively horrible and untrue, as evidenced by history.
@@gordonely3591 he dropped acid to cope with his traumas. He said so himself. McCartney had to be pushed to do it. He said he didn't like the idea of having his reality altered. McCartney had a secure childhood.
🎴 Why not? Yoko was great for him, being both extremely soft spoken and compliance yet highly individualistic and strong. Just like Linda, it was Yoko who managed his post Beatles music and increased their wealth a thousand folds since the Beatles didn't own their music catalog.
Yoko has the right to speak and exist. She's also a great sculptor. I ran into her at her gallery, setting up one of her shows of life size bronzes in Soho (Manhattan) in the early 90s. She had a very cool and powerful presence--with her denim shirt and Marlboros in her chest pocket. We bumped into eachother on the sidewalk. I'm a foot or more taller than she is and I did not immediately see her. We had sustained eye contact as we stepped back from eachother and I finally realized who she was. Her gaze was solid and arresting even though she's a physically tiny woman. It's sad so much hatred was heaped on her, including abuse from John--and still heaped on her by baby men AND women. Shame on you. After all this time. Crazy. She introduced John to a whole new world of performance art and innovative ways of creating, leading intonthe 80s. She helped open his mind--again. (We all need to open our minds again and again.) It's pitiful how he's blatently ignoring her, and the interviewer doesn't do anything to include her either. Both very rude and sad. And funny, at the same time you can tell by John and Yoko's body language that they're totally attuned to and reliant on eachother. He responds to everything she says while "ignoring" her and not directly addressing her. He really needed to learn some social graces and not insult his wife before the whole world like that. Her comments would be less hated and intrusive if he'd given her more conversational respect. It was de rigeur to be rude to Yoko at that time--and apparently still--just look at the comments! John and the Beatles were perhaps the most brilliant and definitely the most recognized musical artists of their day. How hard it must have been for Yoko to be immersed in the world's most exclusive boys club, but she stuck it out till the end. She's doing her best ro be part of her husband's life in the face of way too much media attention and unceasing aggression from Beatles' fans who still think they owned him, which carries over into John's treatment of her. If he had lived longer they both would have had the chance to grow up together and mellow.
Yoko had John like a puppet on a string. Even when she binned him off and he started seeing her friend/assistant. He wanted to record with Paul again and she encouraged him but then Yoko stepped back in and shut it all down and dragged John back into his puppet on a string routine. He was just absolutely besotted with her, he just wanted to be loved and mothered and she gave him that.
He was fixing to divorce her. He wasn’t that besotted over her. For awhile she sent him to May Pang and she started having an affair with Killery Clinton. Gag.
, true if you can fight with your best friend he's not your best friend my wife is my best friend we fight all the time but doesn't change the way I feel about her
"Paul" didn't take it personally; I had dinnerwith him last week." "Is he your best friend?" "He WAS, I don't know about now." He was, when he was alive.
I must wonder why "Yoko-O-NO" was always by John's side? Seems that she had John under her "Spell," and If John was alone, she would lose John. From what I had read in a book, in the beginning "Yoko" forced her way into John's life, literally. Once she got her "foot in the door" she was in for LIFE.
CORRECT.Yoko stalked John, followed him, and intruded into his house, marriage, music, got him into heroin. That's probably when they recorded that POS album with them both naked on the cover. Didn't they title it "Virgins"?🤮 I think this is the heroin induced scenario Cynthia came home to one day.
Well I don't know if I 100% agree with that. She sent John away for 1.5 years to record Walls and Bridges. Although she probably called him every day to keep that Love Potion no. 9 active.
There was always more than simple brotherhood and friendship between them, all their girls knew them. Thats one of the main reasons Yoko was sitting on the amps till the beatles lies there. I mean,they both were eterosexual, but that was a pure kind of love everyone were jealous of.
You would have to go along with it otherwise John isn't coming. This is why David Geffen asked to talk to 'her' first in order to sign him. It's very smart really. You don't have to convince him, you have to convince her by treating her as if her contributions are equal or greater than his.
Certainly,Paul McCartney was John Lennon's best friend and partner musically and John Lennon's partnership with Yolo Ono was more personal strong for him and her and their son Sean and different compared to John Lennon's partnership with Sir Paul McCartney,of course.

Difficult to like, but *Growing Pain* and *Death of Samantha* are good songs imv.
Lennon was so unfiltered which was creative energy whereas Paul always understood PR too
You do realize she co-wrote alot of John's big solo songs, right? Including Imagine?
I miss you making music who knows how may more beautiful songs you would have written RIP may you be with God in the highest❤
Yoko speaking for John again 😂
I wish yoko would shut up and let John talk.
Sexist bs
You know what, I don’t like yoko that much either but John loved her so I’m cool with her.
Yeah she was interrupting not adding anything interesting to the conversation
So overrated
She’s probably the most annoying person in the history of the world.
I remember watching a video of John playing with Frank Zappa out in San Francisco. Of course Yoko has to get up on stage, too.
Frank and John start playing their jam with the band, and Yoko just starts screaming into her microphone like she’s being killed.
Frank looks up at John with this look on his face like “Would you please choke her to death John?”
John has no idea that other people don’t like this, and just is oblivious to the situation.
Frank finally motions to the sound engineers to cut her mic off.
Yoko has no idea and continues caterwauling…
Its a beautiful song
' them freaks was right when they said you was dead'
Beautiful john
That lyric is very revealing as to what really happened to Paul in 1966.
@@lennyanders1639 i know
@@lennyanders1639 there's a channel on Ytube called ' Iamaphoney' its got a absolutely brilliant edited psychedelic documentary, but very very convincing whether ultimately you decided its a hoax its very very good worth a watch if you are aware of the rumours, i must come back to that channel 2wice a year its a good watch 👍
@@lennyanders1639what happened to Paul in 1966?
El se referia a el verdadero Paul(James Paul McCartney 1942-1966, QEPD. cuando lo llamó su mejor amigo Hombre .(para diferenciarlo de que a Yoko la menciono como "mejor amiga"en general o "en todos los frentes"
The way the camera scrolls in speaks volumes about this clip..
He Basically said it there. Let it rest on those words. Those guys loved each other and it will be what it is. Rest assured, they loved each other. And no more questions asked.
He meant Yoko is my best friend on all fronts but Paul is my best male friend.
Lol shit you gotta say
Mike Douglas had John and Yoko as co-hosts for a whole week. He said Yoko was horrible to his staff every single day.
I’ve seen that video of Yoko screeching like a dying bird and scaring the bejesus out of Chuck Berry so I can’t take anyone who defends her seriously 😂
😂
Even John was embarrassed of her making an ass out of them in front of Chuck Berry, one of John's heros. Chuck was rolling his eyes. You wouldn't bring your 2-year-old with you to co-host a TV show and run amock.
yeah that was quite silly 😂
This was a good interviewer. Asked perfect questions and let them talk.
It was Mike Douglas
He loved Paul🎉
He was still so young here. He died when he was only 40 years old. Thankfully he was blessed with the talent of a true artist and blessed with a way to reach the world with that beautiful expression. His still is simply human and still very young here and I hope he had many friends that fueled his interests and passion for art and music instead of just hangers on that don’t understand what it is like to live with this type of genius. It keeps its own focus and has a life of its own when a person has the lovely chance Lennon had to embrace it. Still in the midst of our awe of him here and our interest in every stupid detail surrounding him remember he was simply human like everyone. My heartbreaks that the rest of what John Lennon’s life journey as an artist got cut short and the world lost so very much if he had lived I hope he would have continued to share his genius with us. Protect and support our artists they are where are culture lives and takes on meaning practice appreciation of the arts so we may bring more people as brilliant as John Lennon to the fore front.
i can hear yoko saying "WE wrote it!!"
🤣
I never liked her! I think she was one of the biggest contributing factors to the Beatles Break up.
I was 10 and someone got on the school bus and said did everyone hear the Beatles broke up. I was kind of shocked! It was my first band breakup!!! I liked all Johns post Beatles stuff, and his kid too!!!

I don't like Yoko but what I'm more concerned about was that their friendship obviously dissolved at the end of The Beatles I hope they reconciled in the seventies it seems like they did apparently they're even hanging out watching Saturday Night Live Together in New York and almost went down and did a reunions I wish they had. It sounds like from what I've heard from Paul that they were at peace with each other at the end thank God.
It’s one of my favorite Lennon songs.
The Beatles are humble. Stop asking John stupid questions.
Well, they did stop.
They aren't stupid question. John's song is very vindictive. The lines about" the best thing you did was Yesterday ", and Sgt.Pepper bashing, etc. If you were Paul hearing this, you would be insulted,hurt, embarrassed! For John to sit there so calmly and ask if you can't fight with your best friend.....I ask why couldn't you do it in person or with a phone call? Remember, it was the 70s era and cell phones ( texting) home computers ( email ) were decades from reality! John admitted he published his lyrics, Paul doesn't. I dontbown any Lennon solo albums. I assume when he says publish it means in the record sleeve ( a Beatles first) . Yoko putting her half a cent in saying " its a beautiful song " is no help " defending " John much like a fart in church it echoes but means nothing!!" Paul was very hurt by John's attack, but he wrote songs back,that were NOT blatantly obvious. In interviews in the late 90s and even now,Paul explains his lyrical response. The factory sounds at the beginning of "Silly Love Songs" was a direct response to John accusing Paul of being like a machine in a factory, pumping out songs with no meaning or depth. The opening line " you think people would've had enough of silly love songs, butvI look around me and I see it isn't so" and " some people want to fill the world with silly love songs and whats wrong with that, I'd like to know?" Cause here I go again!!" Paul was firing back at John for accusing Paul that all he could write was silly love songs. He used those words to hurt Paul because he wrote some of the best early Beatles songs which were love songs. John the hypocrite co- wrote many of them based on Paul's starting a song, John adding lyric or musical input to finish the song! I have heard this song for decades now and still love it. Until Paul explained the reason for this song, it sounds like a beautiful song about his wife Linda with the bridge, " How can I tell you about my loved one " and Linda 's " I love you, he gave me more, he gave it all to me, can't you see" . This I thought was Linda answering back that she loves Paul above all. However, the double meaning ( which Paul is famous for) is that Paul is trying to tell John, you hurt me deeply but I still love you, and I want to tell you about it but because of the rift you created, I cant!
Now had Paul not explained this, COULD YOU ever imagine that this was a response to the attack on Paul by John? I sure didn't! Apparently there were more Paul's songs written to reply to John. Paul hides his messages so eloquently that you will never know because it's cleverly written so that only John would get it because of how close they were ( like brothers) AS they both admit! This fulfills John's question "if you can't have a fight with your best friend who can you with?".
Its like 2 kids fighting over something "silly" ultimately!!
@@gvgv3515 a stinky, smelly fart, in church or anywhere else has great meaning. It says a lot about your health, your diet and your microbiome. We are an unhealthy species and living "outside" of nature is the source of all dysfunction in our social systems. How can a socio political economic system function if each and every individual in that system is dysfunctional.
Thanks, I had the same emotional reaction, even though he's been dead a long time, and it doesn't bother him. Funny how I feel about the Beatles -- like they're old friends that I never met. Peace. ✌️
Humble? They had huge egos.

Yoko was the beginning of the end for John.
The biggest problem is the Lennons were surrounded by crazy stalkers and didn't hire security.
Do you really have so little trust in John's autonomy? You're infantilizing a grown man, and they had their own complex relationship.

“How Do You Sleep” is a great track, no matter what you think of the lyrics.
A great track is about lyrics and music. If it’s only 50% good, it’s not good song. And it’s not about having an opinion about the lyrics. The lyrics are objectively horrible and untrue, as evidenced by history.
I personally prefer “Too many people”
John was messed up in his head because of his mother and father leaving him as a child. Yoko is just crazy

@@iamantoniohz because she is annoying AF.🤣
@@ArmyJames best comment by far. That made me laugh. 🤣🤣🤣
🎴 Why not? Yoko was great for him, being both extremely soft spoken and compliance yet highly individualistic and strong. Just like Linda, it was Yoko who managed his post Beatles music and increased their wealth a thousand folds since the Beatles didn't own their music catalog.
Together they were Great! John went on to be successful ,Give Peace a Chance and so did Paul,Band on the Run.....
Don't know why Yoko feels the need to throw her 2 cents in 🤷🏾♂️
Yoko has the right to speak and exist. She's also a great sculptor. I ran into her at her gallery, setting up one of her shows of life size bronzes in Soho (Manhattan) in the early 90s. She had a very cool and powerful presence--with her denim shirt and Marlboros in her chest pocket. We bumped into eachother on the sidewalk. I'm a foot or more taller than she is and I did not immediately see her. We had sustained eye contact as we stepped back from eachother and I finally realized who she was. Her gaze was solid and arresting even though she's a physically tiny woman.
It's sad so much hatred was heaped on her, including abuse from John--and still heaped on her by baby men AND women. Shame on you. After all this time. Crazy.
She introduced John to a whole new world of performance art and innovative ways of creating, leading intonthe 80s. She helped open his mind--again. (We all need to open our minds again and again.)
It's pitiful how he's blatently ignoring her, and the interviewer doesn't do anything to include her either. Both very rude and sad.
And funny, at the same time you can tell by John and Yoko's body language that they're totally attuned to and reliant on eachother. He responds to everything she says while "ignoring" her and not directly addressing her. He really needed to learn some social graces and not insult his wife before the whole world like that. Her comments would be less hated and intrusive if he'd given her more conversational respect.
It was de rigeur to be rude to Yoko at that time--and apparently still--just look at the comments! John and the Beatles were perhaps the most brilliant and definitely the most recognized musical artists of their day. How hard it must have been for Yoko to be immersed in the world's most exclusive boys club, but she stuck it out till the end. She's doing her best ro be part of her husband's life in the face of way too much media attention and unceasing aggression from Beatles' fans who still think they owned him, which carries over into John's treatment of her. If he had lived longer they both would have had the chance to grow up together and mellow.
Yoko had John like a puppet on a string. Even when she binned him off and he started seeing her friend/assistant. He wanted to record with Paul again and she encouraged him but then Yoko stepped back in and shut it all down and dragged John back into his puppet on a string routine. He was just absolutely besotted with her, he just wanted to be loved and mothered and she gave him that.
He was fixing to divorce her. He wasn’t that besotted over her. For awhile she sent him to May Pang and she started having an affair with Killery Clinton. Gag.
He always was John, he always will be.
She was everywhere in his songs his videos his life and his interview

I love both of them❤
Yes, cameraman, zoom to Lennon.
I must wonder why "Yoko-O-NO" was always by John's side? Seems that she had John under her "Spell," and If John was alone, she would lose John. From what I had read in a book, in the beginning "Yoko" forced her way into John's life, literally. Once she got her "foot in the door" she was in for LIFE.
She was quite literally a stalker.
I believe what you said
She was John’s handler and a practicing witch. She brainwashed him.
CORRECT.Yoko stalked John, followed him, and intruded into his house, marriage, music, got him into heroin. That's probably when they recorded that POS album with them both naked on the cover. Didn't they title it "Virgins"?🤮 I think this is the heroin induced scenario Cynthia came home to one day.
Well I don't know if I 100% agree with that. She sent John away for 1.5 years to record Walls and Bridges. Although she probably called him every day to keep that Love Potion no. 9 active.
There was always more than simple brotherhood and friendship between them, all their girls knew them. Thats one of the main reasons Yoko was sitting on the amps till the beatles lies there. I mean,they both were eterosexual, but that was a pure kind of love everyone were jealous of.
I always thought of it as a good song too and I bet if he was still alive Paul and him would’ve played it live together at some point

Why would Yoko even be there and why would any network even go along with that insanity?
I don't blame Yoko, I blame John.
You would have to go along with it otherwise John isn't coming. This is why David Geffen asked to talk to 'her' first in order to sign him. It's very smart really. You don't have to convince him, you have to convince her by treating her as if her contributions are equal or greater than his.
Imagine, if people weren't so naive, the world would be a lot closer to being one.

John: "of the male s'x yeah."
John: you better say that in front of yoko-ntrol!
