Sean was the only human being towards whom Lennon was unreservedly, unconditionally kind all the time. He was, let's face it, a very nasty man for most of his life - but like Peter Sellers, another famous bastard, he was also a genius. But then, by all accounts, Yoko and love were not well-acquainted. A ruthless charlatan with next to no artistic talent. One listen to her comments on how to achieve peace on 'The Wedding Album' shows how empty headed and drug addled she was, too.
@ProjectFlashlight612 really? And Kurt Cobain wasn't (nasty, a bastard, lacked cleanliness)? At least John Lennon didn't throw his life away by blowing his head off.
John has to be one of the most greatest fathers in history. his maturity to say "alright i have put down my guitar to raise my son so he grows up beautifully" is just so wonderful. I mean all the time and love he gave to Sean, was just so sweet and right. it is very unfortunate that Sean was only 5 when he lost his father and even had to lose his father.
@NeilFraudstrong It's applicable no matter what year it is, if you believe his spirit lives on through Sean. And give Yoko some credit, too. She's an amazing mom who's never let him forget who his father was. He's lucky to be the some of two very creative individuals who continue to have influence in art, film and music. No wonder he's so talented.
@NeilFraudstrong You are arguing with a movie and a song. John and Yoko were not perfect parents, but not the worst, either. They were a real couple, not mythical figures. So don't believe everything you read, but remember "ignorance and hate may morn the dead." Do you think you're doing anyone a favor by spreading so much negativity? I think not.
I am not spreading negativity to spread negativity. I have done extensive private research and I have reached my own conclusions. There are too many people and too many clues which blow away the idea of John and Yoko. I don't take it personally if someone believes in it, but this is just my opinion. I admit, it's against popular opinion, but they are my conclusions that I have formed
@NeilFraudstrong Okay, I'm sorry. You mean to tell us that the time John spent with Sean wasn't to make up for the fact that his own father was absent most of his life - and he didn't want to repeat any mistakes he might have made with Julien? And Yoko's involvement with Sean making high quality records from a young age, all while learning his father's songs, was for the sake of exploitation, and not for the benefit of Sean's education? Like it matters. It's a good mythology anyway.
That has nothing to do with what I said. All I said was that the story of John's life with Yoko was false and that instead of resembling the Shakespearean love story that they would want you to believe, it resembled a Greek tragedy. John's love for Sean was unquestioned and I don't dispute that or the theory about why he doted on Sean for a minute. My only issue is with Yoko Ono and her rewriting of history.
@NeilFraudstrong Romeo and Juliet was a Shakespearian love story, and it has a tragic ending. John's death was a tragedy. So John and Yoko's story resembles both a Shakespearian love story and a Greek tragedy. And I can't fault Yoko for controlling her own media. It's something she and John were masterful at. They documented everything themselves from Let It Be on. She can't rewrite that history, only recycle it.
You're picking and choosing what you want to hear. My point was that the image of John and Yoko is one of an inseparable and sweet true love story, but it was only to sell records. It's not as sugary sweet as they would have you believe. Yoko rewrites history and it has been proven that she does, but she spends millions every year on sycophants like Elliot Mintz who go out and rewrite history in public by discussing a marriage that was hardly a marriage at the end.
@NeilFraudstrong They had a rocky love/hate relationship. That's all been documented. PR people get paid to put a positive spin on it to keep the plastic ono experience maketable to a future generations. But if you really look at the original material, a lot of it is painful and makes makes you want to take up primal screaming. That's what makes the John/Yoko collaborations difficult but rewarding. Pain was just one more color on their pallet. That hasn't changed. 'Tis an awesome archive, btw.

You can question Yokos motivations in particular her meeting John for the first time.

I wished we had recordings from John saying these beautiful words to Julian, too. And treating him nice, too.

His treatment of Julian was shameful and Yoko has exploited Sean in order to further the myth of John and Yoko.

It's not immature to proclaim that the Ballad of John and Yoko was false. Countless people have come forward to blow away the myth.

I've always wondered. What Sean's photo was in the studio?
I can imagine John looking the picture of his smiling son remembering that it was time to go back home

There are a few pictures in my 1980 series that shows Sean's picture over a TV near the recording console.
