You know there is a lot that bugs me about my home (England) the unemployment, immigration, the government, and a lot of the people but one thing that makes me so proud is that the best music and musicians in the world such as the wonderful John. It's a fact music wouldn't be what it is today without him and the Beatles.
All the Beatles worked very hard for years and payed thier dues so they deserve respect as musicians, nevermind the fact they were very talented musicians. I can't help but wonder what John would have done had he lived, I'm sure there'd be even more great music.
@LODGE4444 .... grow up. lennon apologized for saying that a way back when. he even said it was the wrong thing to say. what is your excuse for saying it now?
@LODGE4444 Actually, he said that to jab at the mindless, screaming fans they encountered constantly, so you see...he was mocking them & people like yourself. You'd do yourself an eternal favor by staying here on Youtube & listening to the thousands of people who were clinically dead (no breath, heartbeat, or brain activity) & learn from former agnostics, atheists, & christians. Make a u-turn from the self destructive way you currently think. Free will is a double edged sword. Opt as you wish.
@fredthejunkman Amen to that brother these people are ridiculous comparing God to a man named John Lennon. I mean John Lennon is a great musician and a genius but comparing him to God lol
@MegaOhshit Me thinks its, " In Spite Of All The Danger ". If you listen carefully at 7:13, youll hear, " In spite of all the danger ". I believe Paul actually wrote this blues tune in the late 50s !
This man was enigmatic & a hero especially to us folks from Scouseland. I recall a massive painted memorial daubed on a gable in Toxteth when he was killed every time I think of him & his music . Which all said & done is his gift, genius & legacy. ) So many thanks `Pilot for sharing. Dave.
omg i wanted to watch this but by the time they got to 00:34 and started playing 'in my life', right after that girl was saying "he's not dead,he can't be dead" I just stopped the vid, it's too sad...)': we love and miss you John <3
drugs and booze lie to us. they tell us we are not hurting anyone else and that we're experiencing euphoria. they make you into a selfish, self absorped person and hurt all the people who ever mean anything to you. they r the devils advocate. now i'm clean and sober and wonder what the hell was i thinking. my best days r in sobriety facing myself as i really am ... what a good deal
@mikemoos Exactly. What that tool doesn't get is that drug use and drug abuse are two entirely different things. I've found that doing salvia and acid have improved my math skills and have had therapeutic effects with regard to my bipolar.
He or she is just going of his or her own inability to use safe drugs in moderation due to a lack of self-control.
@TELEVISIONARCHIVES I certainly wouldn't encourage folks to take lots of LSD, but it's pretty uniformed to claim that he lost his talent and brains after he took it. The most creative stuff the Beatles did was after they had experienced LSD. It's just like any intense experience, it will change you point of view. But, like any really intense experience, it's best experienced very rarely, perhaps only once. My couple times long ago were quite uesful for my intellectual development.
@TELEVISIONARCHIVES They've said lots of things, and, as with the Bible, you can find something to probably support any position you want to take. They've also said that pot and LSD were critical to their musical direction and development. It's possible to understand how this could be so without condoning or suggesting that other people fry their brains in a vain attempt to match their feats in the studio. Everyone makes their own choices and the often have both good and bad consequences.
"He's not dead,they're just saying that,they're just saying that to get people to leave. He's not dead. John Lennon cant be dead." best quote from this biography we miss u john :)
In My Life Was My Graduation Song. Everyone Wanted To Change It To Some Kind Of Rap Song. And Its Like "Why?" But They Didnt Change It, I Was Like SUPER happy! XD
At my school the kids make fun of me because I'm the only one who likes the beatles. Its because I don't listen to modern day rap. But I don't care what they say I love the beatles.
@cmock1293 Mate they are deaf if they can't appreciate the Beatles. They weren't talking about killin people and shooting they were talking about love, life and the world. I'm 30 John was murdered the month before I was born and he and Paul, George and Ringo have been apat of my life forever. Cheers mate keep on listening!

They may say you`re a dreamer,but you`re not the only one . :)
As a lifelong Beatles fan I'd always thought people got carried away with the Yoko thing. Watching this upload really does make me wonder though.It's obvious that at the very least, she was a huge influence on JL.
What struck me the most was the way his family back in England was treated .THEY can't all be "bad' people.
why the banter on Lennon vids? because Lennon was a great mind, an outlier in comparison to mundane humans, a catalyst of thought and debate, so such discussions and arguments will be left in his wake, .... great job!
As the guy who made this film - I am not sure how I feel about it being here - but in the end I like that so many people have looked at it and think it is worth commenting upon. Thanks for watching guys!
@hungryhippos41 Sometimes, I'm amazed at the video topics that wind up fueling argument over the existence or non existence of god/evolution. Something as seemingly banal as gardening can illicit a heated debate about the afterlife. It's absurd, sometimes, especially since this is youtube, not exactly the meeting ground for intellectuals and deep thinkers. I don't mind some discussion once in awhile, but the 500 word limit makes genuine debate almost impossible. Doesn't stop the nutters, though
Wow .. now I almost feel sorry for you ... you're just dumb ... like a stupid animal. Don't leave your brain to science. Some aggressive Jew might find it.
SCIENCE? I believe in every aspect of logical science (the theory of evolution and so on) so stfu... where do you even get the lies you come up with... you dumb ass... fuck off i'm tired of arguing with you.. your the one posting shit on a video with no relevance.. If you're filled with so much hate why do you post irrelevant information on a John Lennon video. Go post your polictically correct crap somewhere else you ass.
Absolutely ... but only if she's ready ... and I think that's what she's doing these next few years ... getting ready. Just because she talks "funny" and didn't go to the same schools as the Kennedys ... don't underestimate her. She is a quick study and she's funny ... one of the key markers of intelligence. And she can poke fun at herself. She showed the world a new side on Leno a few weeks ago.
Thanks for the documentary which in my opinion sheds much needed light onto some of the key formative years, influences, events, circumstances which shaped the the life of John Lennon and in turn our world today.
I have left JamesPaul66 comment so you can see why I have blocked him. I dont want racist and anti-Semitic comments on my channel. Thanks for all the interesting debate so far, John may have loved Yoko but she sure unpopular with his fans! Maybe go a bit easy on Yoko lets face it we dont know what went on behind closed doors!
@thepilotinn First of all let me thank you for uploading such a wonderful documentary.
It is great for people to see the life of such an icon.
Let us get back to your point about Yoko "we dont know what went on behind closed doors" Of course this is true, however Yoko Ono seem to go out of her way to make everything she did 'public business' She was an extreme attention seeker for most of her life - this didnt seem to abate after John's death.
@thepilotinn those who hate Yoko are not true John Lennon fans i think. they just, i don't know, They seem to forget that John Loved her, and they seem to think its only her who broke up the Beatles... "they where kinda holding us back on music while i was with the Beatles but now that we went our separate ways i have a lot more room to my self to wright songs..."~George Harrison~
@thepilotinn We may not know the full story on what went on behind closed doors but we all have a pretty good idea. Yoko has been seen as a very controlling and manipulative person by many people who knew John best. She also became artistically involved with John and let's face it.....she has as much artistic talent as a tone deaf labrador. There are reasons why she is not appreciated by Beatles fans.
planetery will agree with me on this. Naive people think assume they are always right and do not take into consideration knowledge they don't know. So therefore this statement cannot be naive. I do not know what this argument about conspiracies and your beliefs (Directed at planetery) but you do seem to have hastilly assumed everyone is naive and stupid...I may be misinterpretting what you keep on reiterating. However, planetery, you can express yourself as much as you want, same for everyone.
You should be directing that at the other guy. Although, I *DO* know I'm right about the New World Order and John Lennon being assassinated by the Illuminati, so assume whatever you will...
Yeah, sorry to burst your bubble, "mate", but that guy was already throwing insults around long before I got here (and besides, if you knew anything about Lennon you'd know he was QUITE argumentative).
BTW- that Zelig guy's a racist fucking tool. Way to pick sides.
Anyway, my only real question for you is this: Have you even heard of the Illuminati? Do you even know WHY Lennon was assassinated?
Ya. Good comeback. I'll cross you off the list for this year's Harvard Debating Club reunion. Did it ever occur to you in all your vitriol why the backward yet obscenely weatlhy Arab oil nations haven't lifted a finger to help the Fakeastinians? They hate them more than the Israelis. Mowed down in Jordan, violently thrown out of Tunis, Libya ,Egypt and Lebanon. I didn't go to Yeshiva, Keep blogging from your mother's basement. Tell the Illuminati I said hello. Child.
Ya ... so Lennon wrote some good, even great songs, was the master of the sound bite, a savvy media manipulator and a leading figure of the sixties. He was also a silly hypocrite, spouting revolutionary communist non-violent drivel ... while living like a drug sucking, racist millionaire ... who used fists on his first wife and child, other women and other men. In other words, he was flawed ... and the guy that killed him was a known mental case and schizophrenic.
Wow. You guessed I was a Zionist. Keep coming up with those bright observations and you'll be the head of your cell block in no time. My prediction for you: death from AIDS brought on by the nightly jailhouse reamings in what will become your size 10 asshole. The coroner will slip on a sluice of your dying fart sperm bubbles. You can give back your Zionist polio vaccine anytime before then you frightened little fuck. And your brief time on the outside ... working for Zionists in menial jobs.
And I predict you will spout random bile & bullshit to strangers on the internet because your life is so pathetic & unsatisfied. You're like 50 years old- get a fucking life already.
Besides, you didn't counter any of my "Israel is the real terrorist state" assertions, so I can only assume you have nothing to say (other than your private assrape fantasies).
Side note: Why are Zionists always such hateful little slugs?
You need to take a break from your school boy, late night radio conspiracy fantasies. Sometimes people just get shot and killed, but people with little intellect have to make a parlor game out of it to because they've been coddle all their lives and have to have everything make sense. If there were rich and powerful non-elected asassins trying to rid the world of their enemies ... you'd be the first and easiest kind of rabble to knock off.
People throughout the world unfamiliar with the intricacies of the UN or the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict are bombarded with constant reports of resolutions from a supposedly reputable body condemning Israel as a rogue state. Thus, the false narrative of the Islamic majority, automatically endorsed by compromised international agencies, becomes embedded in the public consciousness. DAMN RIGHT I'M A ZIONIST ... WHY SHOULD EVERY OTHER NATION GET A HOMELAND?
Historically, the ties between Israel and native Canadians is a rich one. A native Canadian delegation travels to Israel once a year for tutorials on nation-building, cultural and historical preservation. With no due respect "WAAAH" is not a debating point. It's a beautiful thing to see two nations who have suffered so much forge an alliance. The Illuminati? What a tool. Go listen to "Space" and George Norrie. I hope there's an Illumiati running things ... who should run things ... YOU? Ha ha.
BTW- Canad has suffered jack shit. Your country leeches off of us just like Israel leeches off the rest of the world.
Or did you even know the extent of the Rothchilds' control of the world's finances? The entire credit lending scam, all the way back to old man Mayer? You have no idea what I'm talking about.
Yeah, sure you know history. Know anything that ISN'T Zionist propaganda you learned in Yeshiva?
You care enough to send hate messages to me, but you're such a punk bitch you blocked me from replying.
And I think Nazis are as retarded as Zionists, but hey- whatever you have to call me so your self-perception remains intact.
You can see for yourself about the Illuminati- if only you had the level of intellectual curiosity and commitment to truth required to question your paradigm. But you don't. Because you're a punk bitch.
I'm sure the Canadian gov't appreciates your sentiment, traitor (where were you born?). If you want your homeland so much, fucking GO THERE already.
I'm sure the Indigenous tribes of your region would love a homeland, too. If you're so concerned about people's rights to a homeland, why are you living on stolen land?
Oh, right- because you're a hypocritical douche bag.
You're a leech, and your country is a leech (both of them).
Try some history. The Jewish claim to the Holy Land is much older then that of our Arab cousins. It has been our homeland for 3,000 years, and until the first Arab invaders arrived in the 700s, no descendants of Ishmael ever claimed any part of the land for themselves. The Koran doesn't mention Jerusalem ... even once. And I prefer a 23 state solution. 22 Arab countries and one tiny sliver of a democracy called Israel. You lose racist.
Sorry. Did I call you a racist. I meant to call you a juvenile adolescent idiot. The Illuminati. By all means, believe it if it's been on Google. More history: the White House, with all its power and control of the intelligence apparatus, couldn't keep the lid on a third rate burglary at the Watergate which ultimately brought down a US President and changed history. And you think Manchurian Candidates killed Lennon, the Kennedys and the mens room jockey at the Pentagon for all I know. Grow up.
Y'know those farming families being terrorized by settlers sure seem to believe they have claim to the land...
And you totally ignored my point about YOU living on stolen land. You just diverted the argument. Because YOU know that YOU don't have a leg to stand on.
I WAS VERY YOUNG WHEN MR LENNON PASSED I WALKED INTO OUR KITCHEN MY MOTHER & FATHER A HIGHLY DECORATED VIETNAM VETERAN MOM WAS A NURSE AT COOK COUNTY HOSPITAL THEY WERE BOTH IN TEARS I NEVER HAD SEEN MY DAD CRY AND NEVER DID AGAIN THEY WERE CRYING BECAUSE MR LENNON GOT SHOT ILL NEVER FORGET IT THE BEATLES MEANT SO MUCH TO PEOPLE IN A VERY TURBULENT AND UNCERTAIN TIME PEOPLE AGED WITH THEM OUR BEST AND BRIGHTEST AND MOST BELOVED ARE VIOLENTLY TAKEN FROM US & THOSE THEY LOVEd

As the guy who made this film - I am not sure how I feel about it being here - but in the end I like that so many people have looked at it and think it is worth commenting upon. Thanks for watching guys!

I was thinking the same thing. And it's usually about religion and if God is real or not. :p some people just LOVE arguing I guess.

@hungryhippos41 Sometimes, I'm amazed at the video topics that wind up fueling argument over the existence or non existence of god/evolution. Something as seemingly banal as gardening can illicit a heated debate about the afterlife. It's absurd, sometimes, especially since this is youtube, not exactly the meeting ground for intellectuals and deep thinkers. I don't mind some discussion once in awhile, but the 500 word limit makes genuine debate almost impossible. Doesn't stop the nutters, though

@heartofsnow23 That is about PASSION,passionate people are drawn to extremes,and John certainly was an extremist.

SCIENCE? I believe in every aspect of logical science (the theory of evolution and so on) so stfu... where do you even get the lies you come up with... you dumb ass... fuck off i'm tired of arguing with you.. your the one posting shit on a video with no relevance.. If you're filled with so much hate why do you post irrelevant information on a John Lennon video. Go post your polictically correct crap somewhere else you ass.

Absolutely ... but only if she's ready ... and I think that's what she's doing these next few years ... getting ready. Just because she talks "funny" and didn't go to the same schools as the Kennedys ... don't underestimate her. She is a quick study and she's funny ... one of the key markers of intelligence. And she can poke fun at herself. She showed the world a new side on Leno a few weeks ago.

Thanks for the documentary which in my opinion sheds much needed light onto some of the key formative years, influences, events, circumstances which shaped the the life of John Lennon and in turn our world today.

I have left JamesPaul66 comment so you can see why I have blocked him. I dont want racist and anti-Semitic comments on my channel. Thanks for all the interesting debate so far, John may have loved Yoko but she sure unpopular with his fans! Maybe go a bit easy on Yoko lets face it we dont know what went on behind closed doors!

@thepilotinn First of all let me thank you for uploading such a wonderful documentary.
It is great for people to see the life of such an icon.
Let us get back to your point about Yoko "we dont know what went on behind closed doors" Of course this is true, however Yoko Ono seem to go out of her way to make everything she did 'public business' She was an extreme attention seeker for most of her life - this didnt seem to abate after John's death.
Yoko Ono made her bed and she has to lie in it.
starryian007 1 year ago
@thepilotinn those who hate Yoko are not true John Lennon fans i think. they just, i don't know, They seem to forget that John Loved her, and they seem to think its only her who broke up the Beatles... "they where kinda holding us back on music while i was with the Beatles but now that we went our separate ways i have a lot more room to my self to wright songs..."~George Harrison~
Standrew777 1 year ago
@thepilotinn We may not know the full story on what went on behind closed doors but we all have a pretty good idea. Yoko has been seen as a very controlling and manipulative person by many people who knew John best. She also became artistically involved with John and let's face it.....she has as much artistic talent as a tone deaf labrador. There are reasons why she is not appreciated by Beatles fans.

planetery will agree with me on this. Naive people think assume they are always right and do not take into consideration knowledge they don't know. So therefore this statement cannot be naive. I do not know what this argument about conspiracies and your beliefs (Directed at planetery) but you do seem to have hastilly assumed everyone is naive and stupid...I may be misinterpretting what you keep on reiterating.

Ya ... so Lennon wrote some good, even great songs, was the master of the sound bite, a savvy media manipulator and a leading figure of the sixties. He was also a silly hypocrite, spouting revolutionary communist non-violent drivel ... while living like a drug sucking, racist millionaire ... who used fists on his first wife and child, other women and other men. In other words, he was flawed ... and the guy that killed him was a known mental case and schizophrenic.

You need to take a break from your school boy, late night radio conspiracy fantasies. Sometimes people just get shot and killed, but people with little intellect have to make a parlor game out of it to because they've been coddle all their lives and have to have everything make sense. If there were rich and powerful non-elected asassins trying to rid the world of their enemies ... you'd be the first and easiest kind of rabble to knock off.

People throughout the world unfamiliar with the intricacies of the UN or the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict are bombarded with constant reports of resolutions from a supposedly reputable body condemning Israel as a rogue state. Thus, the false narrative of the Islamic majority, automatically endorsed by compromised international agencies, becomes embedded in the public consciousness. DAMN RIGHT I'M A ZIONIST ...

Oh, right. Because you're some dumb crank hypocrite.
planetery 2 years ago
Historically, the ties between Israel and native Canadians is a rich one. A native Canadian delegation travels to Israel once a year for tutorials on nation-building, cultural and historical preservation. With no due respect "WAAAH" is not a debating point. It's a beautiful thing to see two nations who have suffered so much forge an alliance. The Illuminati? What a tool. Go listen to "Space" and George Norrie. I hope there's an Illumiati running things ... who should run things ... YOU? Ha ha.

They're not even hiding anymore.

Oh, right- because you're a hypocritical douche bag.
You're a leech, and your country is a leech (both of them).

Try some history. The Jewish claim to the Holy Land is much older then that of our Arab cousins. It has been our homeland for 3,000 years, and until the first Arab invaders arrived in the 700s, no descendants of Ishmael ever claimed any part of the land for themselves. The Koran doesn't mention Jerusalem ... even once. And I prefer a 23 state solution. 22 Arab countries and one tiny sliver of a democracy called Israel. You lose racist.
ZELIG500 2 years ago

planetery 2 years ago
Sorry. Did I call you a racist. I meant to call you a juvenile adolescent idiot. The Illuminati. By all means, believe it if it's been on Google. More history: the White House, with all its power and control of the intelligence apparatus, couldn't keep the lid on a third rate burglary at the Watergate which ultimately brought down a US President and changed history. And you think Manchurian Candidates killed Lennon, the Kennedys and the mens room jockey at the Pentagon for all I know. Grow up.
ZELIG500 2 years ago
Y'know those farming families being terrorized by settlers sure seem to believe they have claim to the land...
And you totally ignored my point about YOU living on stolen land. You just diverted the argument. Because YOU know that YOU don't have a leg to stand on.
