No, he's FIGURATIVELY the ultimate meme lord. So, he's literally the exact opposite of what you just said. Literally is the most overused and misused fad term since "Not!".
to say 'figuratively' in this case would remove all hyperbole, making it a flat statement of true fact - which was not intended. the whole point of 'literally' is to exaggerate for emphasis, like saying you have 'a million' flaws. how has this not occurred to you?
I'm telling you! If John Lennon by some chance failed as a musician, if that wasn't his calling, the man would have been a successful comedian, an entertainer of some sorts outside of music, John Lennon was absolutely hilarious! Charismatic to boot, the guy was put on this earth to make people smile, a true gift from God
He was asked to record this phrase by Glyn Johns for The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus and I think it became a running gag during the Get Back sessions.
It was Michael Lindsay Hogg. Michael had just directed the Stones TV special and needed John to film an intro. He's the American guy in Get Back seen throughout the whole documentary.
Think about the '64-'65 time frame. You had the Animals, the Who, the Stones, the Yardbirds, the Hollies, the Beatles, the Kinks, etc. all hanging around London.
For a guy with a reputation for being this serious and austere activist, I've noticed when you dig into the behind the scenes archival videos, he was actually a clown. Like a really light, easy going playful personality that just turned on the seriousness in select spots. Really dynamic dude.
@@Thejbirdy Beatles did their fare share of nipping too don’t forget. Little Richards “long tall sally” became “I’m down”, The Who’s “I can see for miles” became “helter Skelter” etc, but that’s the beauty of music, building on what came before.
Pretty sure he did say it. See the final instance in the video, "Every 'And Now, Your Hosts For This Evening…'" That's the one that was actually used in _Rock and Roll Circus_
I was really surprised that during the entire month John seemed in a great mood. I had it in my head that he'd be snarky and uninterested with most of his sarcasm directed at Paul. But that obviously hadn't happened yet. It was nice to see him joking around really getting into the project.
He was pretty rough in the first episode. Seemed really down and looked like he hadn’t cleaned himself or shaved in days. My guess is he was having a bad spell with heroin there and slowly got better as the project went on
To me John did seemed a bit snarky, but covered it with humor. Paul hadn't yet seen that being " Manager McCartney" was a thankless task. The Stones appealed much more to me at this period than the Beatles. Let it Be was a big disappointment to me and felt depressing.
Peter Jackson also used about half of the footage he originally wanted to. There’s not much of it in the Disney version but I think in the unreleased footage there’s more footage of John nodding out from heroin. Especially when they’re in the tv studio. He perks up especially when they move to the music studio
Gotta love John. He shows up to the stones rock n roll circus, performs and then introduces the Stones. Weeks later in the studio, he mocks himself. Bless him
The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus was filmed in December '68 and he said a similar line in that. This is only one month later so it's probably just still in his mind.
It’s because this was filmed at the same time the Stones were filming or about to film ‘The Rock n Roll Circus’ where JL was playing and saying that particular line. 😎🎸👍🏻
A month before John was invited by the Rolling Stones to their video called The Circus, John led his group consisting of Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, and Mitch Michel called Dirty Marc, and John did the Stones' presentation.
John Lennon also has actually said he likes Led Zeppelin and especially Jimmy Page's guitar playing. Lennon had once said that Jimmy Page is a bloody good guitarist. When a Member of the Greatest Music Group Of All Time and Elvis Presley respects your Band enough to say that they like your Band's Music that says a lot about Led Zeppelin.
John Lennon took his son Julian to Julian’s favorite band Led Zeppelin, John said the band was rubbish, lol, so what you say was probably him smoothing out his rubbish comment lol
Led Zepplin was a good band - great bassist, drummer, and of course Page. But Robert Plants moaning through almost every song is hard to listen to. Good music though - English white guys taking American blues and making it louder...kind of interesting.
@@johnnyrocker7495 I think I fall into the category of just about everyone else my age as having heard a little too much of them. When I listened to Led Zepplin I felt like I was being ear raped by a sex offender with a good soundtrack playing in the room. Good musicians playing loud blues with an annoying singer. I guess the "helluva lot more" could be that sometimes they sang about fairies in the woods?
Repeating his intro for the Stones in "Rock n Roll Circus"! John and Mick were good pals...they looked and sounded like they were having a fine high time on that show!!
stones couldn't keep up! Well, maybe Charlie, Mick Taylor & Wyman could, for a little bit. Not a diss on stones btw. But they weren't really about musicianship, they were about the song, combined with that certain rattle-and-bang looseness and unpredictability borrowed from the John Lee Hookers and the Muddy Waters, where the bpm increases by 12 at the end of the song. Macca has much more a compositional side.
Love John, and his playful mocking antics. He could say all that, and get away with it because he could do laps around them all with his skills, and talent. John always said the Stones copied so many things they did, immediately afterwards. Only someone with his ear could know that. Paul knew too, he just wasn’t as vocal about it back then. Today he is.
the funny thing is that he repeated it 100 times, but during the filming of The Rolling Stones and The Circus of Rock and Roll, when he was supposed to do it, he just kept quiet
He was alot with Mick Jagger and in the Circus concert with (yer blues) guitar Player by stones was in it plus Circus concert by rolling stones (sympathy for the devil) he was in the aidience dancing n shaking like crazy so ye he loved the stones!
John was probably replaying it in his mind because he felt insecure about the first and only take he did of this phrase for the "Rock 'n Roll Circus" movie, so these repetitions here are him trying to purge or rewrite the embarrassing memory through humourous repetition.
He got lots of creative ideas from Lewis Carroll and Punch type humor, Goon Show with Peter Sellers Spike Milligan etc. Being dyslexic, like many others I cl. Muhammed Ali and other poets likely helped Lennon In the creative process. Brilliant guy

I always loved John's whimsical personality and funny comical expressions. He was a character. 🙂
What an expressive, charismatic and witty guy, a real genius!!! We miss you Lennon.

All 4 Beatles directly mirror the Marx Brothers. John was Groucho.
I don't believe in 'God', but you're so right.
Agree 100%
He had charisma up the fucking wazoo
He was asked to record this phrase by Glyn Johns for The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus and I think it became a running gag during the Get Back sessions.
Just uploaded that clip actually.
It’s Michael Lindsay Hogg
Exactly. That is not he saying he likes The Rolling Stones, though I am sure he liked them too.
It was Michael Lindsay Hogg. Michael had just directed the Stones TV special and needed John to film an intro. He's the American guy in Get Back seen throughout the whole documentary.
When I saw John do this in Get Back, it instantly transported me to the Rolling Stones R&R Circus
The last time he did this had me crying laughing while watching the documentary. Kind of humor that me and my friends have
And now
Your hosts for this evening
The bottles
And now
Our host for this evening
The boney rolls
Love Lennon’s witty humor. Even when he’s stoned he seems quite happy
Well of course.. He's stoned lol
Just think. There was a time where the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Zepplin all strode the Earth at the same time. Let that sink in.
That's some deep shit there Seth my boy.
Throw Deep Purple and Black Sabbath in there too.
exactly its so cold outside let that poor sink in
and don't forget the Archies.
"Archie's here, Veronica too - hey Jughead, where are you?"

John was my hero, still is ❤️❤️
i watch this every single day, it’s the only thing that keeps me happy
John was practicing an intro for Rolling Stones Rock & Roll Circus program back then. I'm that old! Very cool John looks so happy🤗💕
His performance in that film was excellent (the whole all star group) I love when Mitch Mitchell messes up the break and gets the evil eye from John.
The H was starting to kick in....
Ahh john is so cute :D
You know you're a successful band , when you can belittle the Rolling Stones .
beatlitle
Only Beatles and maybe Hendrix but he wouldn't do it.
The Stones were copying the Beatles until 1968 Beatles on top day and night
He Sure Does Like The RollingStones
John looks very happy in "Rock&roll Circus" 1968, dancing on Stones prestation and joking with Jagger.
Yes and no. He loved the guys in the band, he didn't like their always on nipping at the Beatles heels...
He did do a version of "Yer Blues" with Keith Richards on bass.
@@Thejbirdy Beatles did their fare share of nipping too don’t forget. Little Richards “long tall sally” became “I’m down”, The Who’s “I can see for miles” became “helter Skelter” etc, but that’s the beauty of music, building on what came before.
lennon practiced this line only to not end up saying it in rock and roll circus 😭😭😭

R.I.P John Lennon
It’s because this was filmed at the same time the Stones were filming or about to film ‘The Rock n Roll Circus’ where JL was playing and saying that particular line. 😎🎸👍🏻
John's taking the piss out of himself for his introduction of the Stones at the rock n roll circus
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I'd like to see Mick's reaction on watching get back, he would be like *we ain't hosting your shit 😂
Amazing they stayed as sane as they did such a goofy happening
John Lennon is easily the most misunderstood Beatle. I liked him so much in this documentary! So lovable! How on earth did he get such a bad rap?
I love him too and totally agree with you but hitting his wife sure didn’t help his rap 😬
@@pretzelwagonn well he got better
If you lived during that time, the world was divided between hips and squares. John offended the squares because he was so hip.
Apart from the fact that he said, in his own words, I fight men and I beat women?
Very funny guy,but he beated is wife and children
Lol he smoking at the end 😝 cute.
He said on one of them and now your hosts for this evening the bony rolls😅😂
John Lennon was a masterpiece

The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus was December 1968 , Get Back sessions were January 1969 for some perspective .
Something tells me that the host for this evening is The Rolling Stones
I would like to hear Ringo and Paul sit in with the stones live. It might be a trainwreck but just imagine seeing those legends together on one stage.
Trust me, anytime the stones get involved with anything, it's a trainwreck.

Nope.
He had just done that intro for the Stones Rock & Roll Circus on December 12, 1968…the Get Back sessions were a month later in January 1969.
There's a segment in Get Back where Lindsay-Hogg asks John to do the intro, because they forgot to film an intro to the Stones.
