RetroBites: John and Yoko

[jjpeterson1]

Good soundbites from John there, I can see why the Bliderbergs wanted him dead.

[foxywormworm]

he knew about the illuminati agree with m2frogger dont fuck with yoko.

[alien3445]

fuck hotwire

[MoeGreensRightEye]

Wow, what a wise man. Yeah, right.

[eggnoy]

well said

[libertylives2]

I love John and Yoko but I must say, that I am not and never will be the Establishment ~ Freedom is incompatible with politics. I walk away and love my life. "No Guru, No Teacher, No Method.. Just you and I FREE in Nature. peace peace all love

[DeouwdeMan]

he didnt pronounce it, he spoke about it and asked why people seem to pronounce instead of produce it. He asked if you think this if you want to change that, we ALL want to change the world, but if you are focused on a goal or a future that doesnt support the people and the stable values that seem to be slim to none in our world. These values go unseen and disrespected, not because they are wrong but because those in power can't tax them. power, structure are good, only if they aren't "abused"

[jeffreyjennings]

And you don't believe his assasination was ordered by the US government?

Get a a grip on reality my friends!

[fulbert4605]

No, I don't. Why would the government have waited until 1980?

[TheKevinCardenas]

So no one would think it was the government. Obviously they've got you fooled. :)

[fulbert4605]

Then why did the government assassinate John Kennedy at the height of his fame?

[koinshaku]

@jeffreyjennings lol - right back at you.

[zanti209]

Sorry, Johnny. Nobody listened to your advise. Ptiy.

[TheCottonTop]

John was great! Yoko was a killjoy.

[AhYaOk]

where are they?

[satmanyaro1]

this rant is pure comedy...thanks everyone I wish I cvould jump in but I'm enjoying it just as it's flowing now...:)

[p0llenp0ny]

Wish the CBC would make all of these videos relatively the same volume.

[handofdust]

He wanted to get into the USA. Why? Because it is, or was, a shining bastion of freedom, capitalism, enterprise, and concomitant cultural vibrance. Whatever political nonsense he may have spouted, his only hope in the kind of authoritarian hellhole he describes in "Imagine" would have been as a Party sycophant composing odes to the glorious leadership. I love his music, but he was a political idiot.

[ssss566]

I think it was for a more simple, obvious reason: Yoko.

[lacadam]

look, i have been lisening to imagine from since i was a kid and all i ever saw in it was just a world of peace and love, now if that for you is an authoritarian hellhole... well, i think your seeing it in the wrong way. I mean, in the song there is nothing that talks about a system of government. Only when i got older i understood how it could be seen as a communist song (especially because of the no possession part) but thats not what the song is talking about.

[Heeey333]

when does he say utopia is authoritarian ran you have no idea what you are talking about and have no intelligence.

[handofdust]

I say "authoritarian" because people LIKE religion, and they LIKE possessions. That sort of utopia demands that human nature change, and the only way for this to happen is through coercion and force. Bring a North Korean to the USA (or Hong Kong or Germany) and then ask him how he likes his country of no possessions and no religion.

[Heeey333]

2,000 years people would agree with you about people needing religion and possessions. Well, today, in first world countries, religion or the belief in God is starting to fade away. You have no idea what people could start thinking another 2,000 years from now. It sounds ridiculous now but think of how incomprehensible the internet would sound to the ancient Egyptians. etc etc. anyway lennon was more of a moderate socialist in his politics, imagine was just a song of a better place then now.

[estaa11]

calm down john....

[fishingriver]

Too bad the conservative media didn't give this more play when he was saying it.

[MisterStephen777]

I love how these uber conservative explosions of positivity go on videos they dont like to talk shit. you must have a lot of time on your hands. nice job drawing attention to john's message by trying to destroy it in such an ignorant fashion.

[flakbac]

no wonder hippies were dropping out of society for this asshole hey hippies go screw yourself mannnnnnnnn

[fosterch]

He meant what Jello Biafra has been saying: don't be angry at the media.... BECOME the media. ... not sure I believe that, but it's a start. They tend to hit all the markets ... ideological or not. If you are a righty,... here's a story for ya! and if you are a lefty...blah blha....same ol shite

[markrobinault]

John was right. Except I don't think people understood what he meant, he meant their is no reason why we have to go by what our parents have taught us to believe, but to go by what we believe to be right!!

[steveconn]

So be the establishment, but don't revolt?

Or do, but not violently? Smoke another bowl, John.

[Ingridthepoet]

I think he means we need to be the establishment to run it but that we don't have to fuck it up....sorry MESS It up like people in the past by letting our anger contorl our choices in how we rule the world we live in and there's a better way to do it....in peace

[MisterStephen777]

no one who matters is turned off of lennons ideas because of comments like "steveconn" is making here.

[steveconn]

and no one who matters listens to the egomaniacal gobbeldygook of Lennon or his sycophants like "MisterStephen777."

[MisterStephen777]

You wish. Peace out anger ball.

[steveconn]

Whatever nobody.

[MisterStephen777]

I love how these uber conservative explosions of positivity go on videos they dont like to talk shit. you must have a lot of time on your hands. nice job drawing attention to john's message by trying to destroy it in such an ignorant fashion. i thiunk either you are under 13 years old or your parents played one too many matches of kick the baby.

[steveconn]

I least I know how to spell "I think," which is more than I can say for you. John by '69 was a raging egomaniac who coopted the peace movement to fill his and Yoko's endless narcissistic needs. That was his "message." Everything else is just tired '60 cliches gobbled up by fools like you.

[MisterStephen777]

you better sell it while you can, failure

[steveconn]

Wow, amazing comeback, nobody.

[MisterStephen777]

sell it while you can is my advice to you

[MisterStephen777]

you're doing a disservice to your cause. if i wanted to think of a snappy come back id talk about the "music\comedy" videos u keep recording of yourself & posting or your hair line. you might want to settle back by the way.

[steveconn]

Coming from a completely non-creative nobody such as yourself, that really, really hurts.

[MisterStephen777]

just because i dont put lame videos of myself "performing" on you tube half the time and go on the videos i dont like to make my uninformed comments on them the other half of my time, doesn't mean I'm uncreative. i dont go on your rolling stones videos and call them names i can't back up like a coward. people who live in glass douche bag houses shouldn't throw stones.

[steveconn]

So don't throw stones. Adios, loser.

[MisterStephen777]

you're just mad because you know i,ve probably had sex... with a woman

[steveconn]

If she looked like Yoko, believe me, that's nothing to be mad about.

Now go masturbate to your John poster and let the rest of us get on with our lives.

[DeathOfChaos]

I'm sorry, but I have to jump in here. When there is an argument over the internet, when does having sex with anything have to do with anything that you're arguing about? Honestly, lol. It's like arguing about what band is better and then saying 'Well, I've had sex before, that's why they're better'. Does that make any sense at all? No. It doesn't.

[burkburke]

what does "coopted" mean?

[steveconn]

It means taking someone else's concept and acting like you came up with it.

[comicwarrior69]

means - you've bee bought...akin to seduced...

[zoso1]

such powerful words. we could use a john lennon today. the world suffered greatly at his loss.

[dilyflynn]

yoko was the woman john loved, and for johns sake and memory, we must not forget that.

[PreacherofArrakeen]

Yoko is the Dragonlady that she is portrayed to be, and played/preyed on John's psychological weaknesses. Basically, she wore him down by what would today be called 'stalking.' I feel for Julian and Cynthia. I mean, why the fuck should Julian have to buy his father's guitars and other heirlooms at Sotheby's? With, no less, the money he had to fight for after John died? I think that John probably would've left Yoko after Sean had grown up a bit more. But we'll never know. Yoko = bad karma.

[AnitaBrooke]

*Cyn would still want him which is false.

The ONLY thing I like about Yoko is that Yoko inspired him to make wonderful music and that's pretty much it.....

[catlistening]

How the hell could an admirer of John Lennon "hate" the love of his life? That is insane.

[HiPpPiEcHiKcKiE]

Thank you! Finally someone who sees it like this also. I have never understood why so many people blame him for falling in love and then blame the person he loved because he loved her. He said it himself, "all you need is love" and he found it.....I desire what they had and i am greatful he had it...

[AnitaBrooke]

You will know why people dislike Yoko, read John by Cynthia Lennon. I personally didn't have a problem with her to and I thought people just hated her because she was not like the other Beatles girls, like she's not pretty and I did like her but when I read John by Cynthia Lennon now I think Yoko is a fake and yes she does charity and all that but she wasn't nice to Julian and John's family. She also didn't let Cyn be friends with John because Yoko thinks Cyn would still won't him which is false

[Satonica]

I would have one bone to pick with Yoko, were it necessary and that would be when she tried to take Julian to court and NOT allow him to use his God given last name, Lennon. Fortunately Julian was victorious with that issue, and I know it hurt him, and she used poor judgement. People make mistakes and hopefully they grow from them.

[Satonica]

ABSOLUTRLY! I have been trying to say that in the comments on every single video of John Lennon/Yoko Ono that I have come across. People talking about how "Yoko broke up the Beatles." Bullshit, and how can you dare hate the woman that was the love of his life? Thank you for agreeing with me.

[Jartny]

Exactly. He found his love, he found his 'key to life', so why hate him for it? I'm happy for him, because it gives us all hope of finding our own key to life, our own love.

[LittleM1021]

hahahaha, naughty drug fiend

[viviannevivianne]

Seriously I think its safe to say without Yoko there would be no Lennon that we all admired

[Bellyflops2]

that's an interesting point even though I hate Yoko

[bobshark123]

yeah, a great point

[blessiththechily]

kys

[rufusman2008]

Why the 50 somethings hold a candle for this guy perplexes me. He had quite a scam going here and it's a shame we never got to see how much of a fake this guy was because of MD Chapman turning this hairy clown into a yet another 60's martyr.

[finleyalicia]

Your obviously one of those Republican idiots who thinks only of his own wallet and how to control and profit off the masses.

[samoanseb8]

Go back to sleep you bible bashing conservative

[ledZeppelin7680]

i wish he would have moved here rather then just visited. he would have had a much longer life

[veeseee128]

John lennon the ultimate liberal and hippie.

[skateboarding118]

Yoko Ono the ultimate manipulator and cunt.

[m2frogger]

You don't respect Yoko,you don't understand John.

[finleyalicia]

absolutely

[sisubilly]

Never take advice from drug addicts.

[Dclears21]

hes wasn't addicted to drugs...?

[fesbahn]

not funny... just the same-ol-same-ol.

[totictexts]

"The youth" he was talking about are now in their 60's, and the biggest part of the problem. Funny.

[HiPpPiEcHiKcKiE]

It because they didn't listen

[catlistening]

And I mean- look at her... she's adorable and she was independent and brilliant... and sweet as pie.

[RodgersRevolution]

And a hard nosed no nonsense business woman. Yoko took care of everything for John when he was a "househusband". She is awesome. And she let him know that he could be himself and not a mop-top. Our world is a little better with the refurbished John.

[totictexts]

It's a shame. They expected John Lennon to do their work for them. The message was about power to the people. You're right, they didn't listen.

[FingerScam]

westeightyone very funny about "No" and drugs, very true! As for the kid who said the 1950 are over...it was the 60's early seventies...you need to wake up.

John, Thanks. Peace

[catgumart]

Makes a lot of sense.

[indigo9nightsky]

Just Say No to Drugs !

[westeightyone]

Try saying 'no' while you're on drugs.

You'll end up saying

"Nnnnnuhhh-ooooo-wa-uh-ung-ung­-um-uh-ee-ooooh!"

[romavictora]

Hey ...maybe you should try em' and loosen up ...He had his POOP together pal...what do you do write blogs under one 61 sec interview with a CANADIAN ????

you're a canadian , aren't you???

wake up 1950's are over....

[westeightyone]

Who said that I'm a Canadian?

You take that back, romanvictora!

You must be on drugs!

Stop smoking that POOP.

Wake up, your mother's calling.Hurry or you'll be late for the short bus.

[whotles]

Telling it like ot is.

[sk8rguy101]

I Love John. He's the man.. he was the man.

[sAndyTV]

No. He still is the man.

<3

[carlayling]

you r 1 of the stupidest people i've come across in a long time...

[moghaddassi]

omg

all of you are losers

you no john is an inspiration to all and it was sad that he died

[santasxgirlfriend]

somebody somewhere is praying for you-- prayingforwar--  not me though

[Electronicbox]

I pray for retarded individuals, such as yourself, to grow up!

[damien770]

I put one star on this video in the memory of John

[urchinau]

This video should be featured.

[chrisyamaha64]

lol I like the title:" bearded John Lennon gives advice to the youth and Yoko nods. (1969) " lol,so true about Yoko....

[ImmortalxUntilxDeath]

*believes in John, too*

We ARE the elstablishment. Let's change. Because I am naughty drug fiend.

[viejecita]

searching "Se le mete el diablo" its so very good

[figocooldude]

Jonh was in the right path but, it's still hard for me to imagine gtting somewhere with a little violance, how will you defend yourself

[figocooldude]

I know you, you're one on of those stupid citizens that give america a bad name. Did you know everyone in the world thinks all americans are idiots? Search for stupid americans on youtube, mabye you are on it

[truewealth]

John was great. But go to yourSelf for Truth you won't get it from Man or any political party. God alone.

[nefa2ious]

Listen to his words, my fellow Canadians. There is a machine; it is huge and powerful. it's well oiled, and rapidly moving. this machine, if not stopped, will bring hell on earth. not only will people be inslaved as they are now, but the temperture will also rise. question establishments. may the people up rise through peace and harmony, not bloody murder.

[carlosalpaka]

dude Hitler was a fascist, He states it clear in Mein Kampf. Maybe if you use another source of information besides The Bible, you would know. But I guess where you are from, the backwards senators squander all the money from your school district and it is left to the Churches to educate your kind with their right wing religious hocus pokus.

[carlosalpaka]

Have you ever questioned YOUR reality? YOU are not the only individual in this world, and the conditions and realities you were born into are the realities for an infinitesimally small fraction of the human population. As the richest nation in the world, we have a responsibility to the rest of our less fortunate human brothers and sisters.

[carlosalpaka]

Now if you disagree, you speak as if you are righteous but act wickedly, which is the definition of hypocrisy, which is the principal problem with U.S. American culture. (remember, there is Canadian America, Central America and South America, besides the United States of North America).

[ddesa123]

your not even making sense, i love people that try and act as if they have an intelligent argument to make just by using a bunch of jargon. thats not communication my friend

[mrblisterfist]

And I suppose you think Eric Clapton communicated better high on cocaine??

Also as far as intelligent communication: Please learn the difference between "Your" (possessive) and "You're"(contraction=you are) this will help people take you a little more sseriously. good day !

[AmnGoogly87]

OMG what did he see in Yoko she was ugly as hell

[strokethe]

John rules and still inspires dreamers souls

I BELIEVE IN JOHN

[dispell]

lewl gtfo you epeen youtube whore damn have nothing better to do and mass spam replys jesus gtfokthxbye nub

[crazysharkboy]

It saddens me that here this guy is (was), putting his life on the line for the greater good and yet he is put down so discracefully. It's not the first time in history, in fact it still happens now. Look at Ron Paul for instance. If you don't know who he is I strongly recomend doing a search on him right now. This is a PIVITAL TIME IN HISTORY, BE A PART OF THE REVOLUTION...

[crazysharkboy]

[crazysharkboy]

Yes, John had lots of money and fame. We all know that. He could have made even more money and enjoyed that money selfishly, but instead he put his LIFE at risk. Even if he didn't realize it in the beginning, he did know eventually and he didn't back down. This is as selfless as you can get.

[pieoxus]

Hitler wasn't a leftist, don't you know ANYTHING about history?

Praying for War... may your desire become your master.

[SolesGirlRachel]

Dear all,

Look, John was a human being. He wasn't trying to be the next Messiah - just trying to do something meaningful and positive for the world with his platform. He had finally begun to discover himself again, John the person, as opposed to Beatle-John. He was in love and freshly married. His & Yoko's message of peace was a really positive and intelligent message for everyone, refreshing and true and now, still. Peace *hugs* :)

Rachel

[unterland]

*hands you a crown made of flowers*

Seriously, please calm down.

[asarapi]

a Hippie is someone who drops out, Lennon was working and trying to do his part to bring peace to the world, is that wrong? I think some of the comments here are posted by people who were babies at the time and are exactly whom Lennon was trying to bring down: THE HATE MONGERS.

[asarapi]

I did not agree with all of Lennon's ideas but I don't think he deserves the disrespect. I challenge any one of the hate mongers here to show us what they've produced in their lifetime. If you criticize it must be because you have something better, let's see or hear it.

[megstubetops]

wow you really dont like them.wgaf.

[rpeterle87]

what the fuck! the fact that your even comparing john lennon to any of those people, just shows how ignorant you are about everything. Go fuck a pig you redneck piece of shit.

[Romperjet]

i love his accent...

[XxIbanezGuitarsxX]

Yoko ruined the Beatles, and John. If Yoko never came into the picture, John may still be alive.

[13freitag13]

yoko sucks

[Camera0Girl]

they don't wash for days and days. they are afraid of laundromats. easier to just get high than to practice good hygiene.

[theoffspring1489]

LMAO

[chkgt]

somebody get bitterman laid...

[chkgt]

uh..do you also touch yourself at night bitterman

[HIKO64]

HY JOHN

[Ginnna]

John Lennon was a wise man.

[sisubilly]

The guy was a pot head!

[Dclears21]

And hes still an awesome guy!

Whats smoking pot got to do with anything

[yayadenial]

yea john lennon shits on America from up top!!! canada owns dumb Americans, srsly go on diet all of you

[TheNewLennonBoy]

hahaha

what john lennon lived and died in America the greatest place on earth so fuck off

[yayadenial]

he was "murdered" in america, by some dumb fucking american retard, who thought he could make something of himself by killing the greatest musician ever. if the Usa was the greatest place on earth yoko ono would took all those 8 shots to the chest instead of john, so why dont you fuck off fatty

[TheNewLennonBoy]

o its on (dr dre)

[PulverLuxEtLum]

Yoko was a well respected artist before John and her met. He went to one of her shows and that is how they met. Google it. Nancy Spungen was the coolest thin about UK's lames 3 chord fashion boy group aka The Sex Pistols.

[TheNewLennonBoy]

no they met at a art museum and i would know

Lil Lennon

is what they call

[sketchmavrick]

John's a fuckin retard. you can't escape reality. thats all john ever did. he ran away from what made sense and dozed off in his world of drugs.

[TheNewLennonBoy]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh must...fight...back...but...it­s...so...

fuck your riht

[pinkfloydas]

LENNON FOR EVER! The Last Rock Rebel Ever!

[barbara3d]

Imagine( no pun intended...I sat in high school watching him and Yoko have a "Love fest" which really meant they smoked pot openly, refused to eat, did all they could to draw the world's attention to the war. "All we need is love". still true today huh?? I loved my generation. We made noise . But we made it all about love and kindness. It still did not work against those who prefer war. Maybe some day...Imagine

[barbara3d]

yep, they were soul mates. No one could appreciate Yoko because she had this trance over him. Well what man wouldnt love all the sex she wanted, brains, sort of mother figure to him, smoke pot with him, they just clicked and the whole band thought she was controlling him in fact, they were soul mates who could not bare to be apart. after he died, she stayed in bed for 6 mo and lived on mushrooms alone.

[firefox335]

Yeah she had a trance over him alright, he couldn't even make the smallest decision without her. She was a talentless leach. The ultimate groupie. Her and Nancy Spungen have a lot in common

[barbara3d]

I am not saying the trance was good; and he was a "love and peace pot head;but he NEEDED her because she to this day, builds monuments to him. Would someone do that for you?

[westeightyone]

I build a monument to you every time I take a crap.

[janet928]

Yoko made Lennon what he was. Without her he would have remained just another pop singer with a rather silly accent.She has even set up a Museum for him in Tokyo. A really great women by anyone standards.

[pinkfloydas]

You have wrong!All that you have to do is just to check Lennon interviews about the war in Vietnam from 1964until1967 before meet YOKO!

[hellothurr123]

you are so sadly mistaken.

[cacophonious]

Spoken like a true prophet.

[blackpimp4u]

Far out!

[jaodelynx]

viva la humanidad, el murio, pero nosotros no, vamos a ganar john!!!!! la victoria q alguna vez tu cantaste, sera realidad........
