yoko wanted a beatle, but her first choice was paul. she hounded the group until john threw some original lyrics at her.(she said she said?) she wanted to be famous, and found john at his weakest emotional point. i love john, but paul and linda were the ones truly in love.
Let's be honest with john, he was a crap of a guy. He never did anything good with his life except that in union with his other band mates Paul, George and Ringo.
He fúcked up his life breaking up with Cynthia, she has anything a man could want in a woman.
Sadly john was murdered in a cheap àss way as he was like that once he become famous and with money.
I really like The Beatles a lot I've bought the new masters but john.....HE WAS A CRAPPY SHÌT OF A GUY!!!! MDC stop his disorderly bad life.
i always believed yoko was only after john's money. and wanted to use him to make herself famous. thats why she had him do all those crazy things in the late 60's. because she knew the media would be there and it would make the papers. john himself even said in this last interview when talking about when she and him split up that she agree to let him come back when he gave her control of all the business dealings.
she even tried to get paul, but couldnt. she wanted ANY beatle i think.
@LadyScorpio39 I agree with you 100%. It's even written in The Beatles Anthology that when Yoko wanted to have an exhibition of her art that the Beatles paid for it because John was attached to her by then. It was the Fame and money for her stuff that she was after.
All the Peace and love was a great PR stunt in her mind I think anyway..I hate feeling that way because I love John and believe he believed in it deeply. Yoko cared more about her fame and money in my opinion.
yes, i know. its so obvious. i alway felt bad for john because i think he really loved yoko and wanted to please her, so he gave her control of everthing so he wouldnt lose her.
but as for her......after seeing all the interviews and countless biographies it is my personal opinion that all yoko wanted was john's fame and money. hence the reason for all the crazy stunts in the late 60's. to dry media attention. paul even once said, john was easily influence by people.
@LadyScorpio39 Yoko would have been near perfect for John if she had Linda McCartney's laid back easy going attitude but Yoko was just as mentally screwed up as John. They both had some major mental issues and they fed off each other in the enabling. BUT John wanted to learn to overcome the darker sides.Yoko forever just thought of HER ego and power and would never give that up. That is why I think Yoko was not good for John it was all about her and her constant obsession with her fame and power
i just think they both had huge ego's. and i am a huge lennon fan, but ive read many interviews, he had a huge ego. and so did yoko. only yoko's was bigger, and overpowered john's, unfortunatly.
@LadyScorpio39 I agree, but I totally understand how and why he fell for Yoko. I cant hate her she was a product of her generation and fought against it. I give her credit for that. I just think she too had many problems of her own and them together was not Love,but need and dependence. Paul and Linda had the love and understanding & even they had problems. People forget they were human. That's why I don't hate Yoko, but I don't like her either, she was a self-centered bitch who use John's name
i dont hate her either, but i agree with you. she was really manipulative. i dont believe she loved john, only his money. i truly believe if john had gone broke, she would have been gone in a flash.
@greatestxgift, no they don't, they support john's choice of partner. That kind of 'fan' you speak of is the type that pulls the trigger on john. Peace and love.
this is rare.. nowhere man actually telling you, "im' blind- see here i could be a case of being stolen blind". that's why he never made it on the docks or in football.
Thats cool, you're entitled to your opinion. Doesn't mean you're right tho. Shame that such an irony 'I love freedom' doesn't include John's freedom of choice of partner. I read the last interview he did and he was happy with her. I think she is a presenting problem for you, but that;s for you to sort. Such anger. Peace and love to you. I hope you stay well.
True Lennon fans support his choices. (looks directly in eyes).
PR lies and myth. John had pride, you think it was easy for him to admit that the myth was dead?
I truly believe Yoko was not in love with John and John was planning on leaving Yoko and was going back to England. Life happens and fairy tails dont last forever.
Haters of Yoko don't understand John's message at all.
Love. Peace. Kindness to each other.
To say the things people have said here means simply that Yoko acts as an arsehole filter, weeding out the arseholes who hate. Very useful for John. You are all weeded out, filtered out. Your true colours show clearly. John would not have given you the time of day. All you idiot experts.
why does everyone on youtube start wars in the comments... ironically even ( or especially??) on videos involving john lennon... peace everyone stop freaking out and just enjoy the video and the music

Not a saint, a human being. i think you are just another one of those 'fans' that are really out to bring john down. He was a peacenik and thats why you dont like him. which makes you part of the problem he was trying, with his wife, to help all of us with. You are busy sitting in judgement, but who died and made you god? The biggest loser here is you, not yoko. Believe what you want. Who gives a shit. just try to keep it to yourself. True lennon fans support his choice of partner.
John had a fear of being cremated, he wanted to be buried..well YOKO had him Cremated..that was done out of spite.
I'm a Beatles fan and a fan of the guys solo music. I'm NOT a fan of their wife's or girlfriends.
I'm a fan of their music.
AND I dont give a fuck what John, Paul, George or Ringo would of thought of me. I don't follow their politics or views..I have my own mind and my own views. Famous people are not gods that I follow blindly.
@BPMontana I agree.... Totally. Jane Asher was beautiful, and they had a great relationship, but Paul needed someone who would stick and roll through the muddy years after the bad's breakup. As much as I liked Jane, I don't think she would have had the strength to put up with Paul's depressive fit. She probably would have left him and hell knows what may have happened then. But Linda had balls. She made him a home, which is what he needed. God bless her soul!!!
@4our5ive6ix No, she was a Jewish girl from New York, I believe... Francie Schwartz. Paul and Jane were already at the end of their rope anyway, and Paul was a steady cheater; Linda had been his "groupie" of sorts since 1966. Francie showed up in 1968 wanting to get a script published at Apple, and Paul isntantly made her his lover. Jane was away doing a tour of Britain and Paul did not expect her back earlier, but she did and BAM! Francie and Paul broke up soon after and Linda moved in.
@cleartonal It's been told by many people through the years that yoko and John were talking of divorce. opps sacrilegious sorry to burst your bubble.
She had a lover who she moved in with her right after John was killed. Why do I have to be a FAN of Yoko's to like John Lennon and his music? I dont hate her I just don't like her as a person.
Listen to John's diary's he made in late '79. He was not happy at all.
John and Yoko were not happy together in '79 '80 a fact told by John's British family and the people near them both at that time. People in love dont have affairs and move their lover in with them right after their husband dies. It's a shame people believe in Yoko's PR lies.
@ilovefreedom80 i feel like yoko has presented a really sanitized version not only of their relationship, but of john himself. he was a troubled individual. probably not an easy soul to deal with on anything more than a superficial level. i think lennon, if he were alive, would be the first to admit such a thing.
I love John and his music but I feel he was damaged by his own parents, the years of hard drugs and way to much mental pain during & after the Beatles broke up. As much as he liked to SAY to the press that he moved on and 'grown up'- he was hurt, think about the time period he started on Heroin with Yoko..he did what ever it took to kill the pain. Paul went up to his Scottish farm and drank in depression in '69 '70? Yoko didn't help, she had her own problem's sadly :(
@ilovefreedom80 Yeah he did NOT seem like a happy man near the end.I never understood the relationship he had with Yoko anyway. They always seemed tense around each other in interviews,like she resented his domineering personality, But then what do we know? Its hard to judge any relationship from outside.Theres a lot of interesting evidence against her though Didnt Dylan warn George Harrison early on that she was known on the NewYork art scene as bad bad news and not someone you wanted around?..
I love John's music but what a jerk. Yoko stalked him while he was married with a child him and Cyn were raising. How she can live with the fact she was instrumental in breaking up his family. And John bringing her to his family home (Kenwood) was cruel.
Yoko did not give a shit about anyone but herself.
If you were married to someone you didn't feel for anymore and your relationship made you feel you were slowly suffocating, would you still happily be a part of it, tagging along? There are good and bad ways of breaking up, I agree, but judging someone just from a number of actions from a certain period in their life is just narrow-minded.
I'm FAR from narrow minded! John could have moved out of the family home. He should have not brought yoko into his family home, that's all. She did kinda force her way in at times though.
I understand that CYN was not John's true love and he was miserable. Here is how I far from narrow minded I am.
Yoko was a replacement for PAUL.
John even said so in an interview that the only TWO people in the world he considered his partner was Paul and then Yoko. haha YOKO your were 2nd in Johns heart.
lol one more thing if I was Cyn I would have beat the crap out of Yoko for sneaking around with my husband in my own home. The day Cyn walked in on John with Yoko sitting in my kitchen I would have made sure Yoko would think twice about stealing peoples husbands in their own homes.
She would have permanent markers on her face from where I would have tried to gouge her eyes out ;)
You cannot STEAL somebody's husband or wife. They make their OWN choices. Yoko and John got together, in the end everybody was happier. Cyn and John just weren't meant to be. If you were stuck in an unhappy marriage and were in love with somebody else, especially whilst in the complete public eye, what would you do?
yur a dickhead mate, just a moron. It was his life to live how he wanted, and you have no say in it whatsoever. He knew who his friends were, they were those who respected his decision and his wife.
How would you like it if i called your wife these things? You have a lot of growing up to do. There is none of the spirit of the sixties in you at all. You understand NOTHING.
Yeah. It's a prototype for two eventual songs Lennon would write during '68 and '69. The music would eventually be used for the song Julia, on the White Album. The lyrics would be used as part of the song I've Got A Feeling from the Let It Be album.
yoko wanted a beatle, but her first choice was paul. she hounded the group until john threw some original lyrics at her.(she said she said?) she wanted to be famous, and found john at his weakest emotional point. i love john, but paul and linda were the ones truly in love.

People, Yoko is not a saint.
Yoko had a lover before he died and she moved this man into the Dakota with her only a few weeks after his death.
She also has been cruel to Jillian Lennon. You people live in La La land if you take her version of her FAKE fairytale relationship with John.
I beleive John and Yoko would have been divorced if he had not died.
WATCH John Lennon- Diary Part 2 he wanted TO KILL himself in 1979.
