@NarniaMad She was a horrible person. Too bad John left so sudden. He wouldn't have stayed with her (just a gut feeling.) She was his other half because she had an artist and took care of the family finances. A lot of truth is kept out of the spotlight after he died. Hell I believe she had a new man on the side 2 months after Johns assassination. She's a shithead in my humble opinion.

I've commented this before, but there's no harm in doing it again... FUCK YOU YOKO!

@robertfoy100 In the other hand, you state that the one who planned and committed the murder was a "nutter". All in all, and taking certain evidences into account, such as John and some friends' statements, Mr. Lennon was bad regarded by some important US politicians, owing the musician's political ideas and propaganda (red one, you know what I mean), so that nutty guy was a victim, mentally programmed to kill...but that's another kettle of fish, I guess...

@robertfoy100 John, an inocent little sheep? Of course he wasn't; he was a son of a b....! He proved to be a bloody bastard with his first wife, as you have said before, not to mention how hurting it might have been for Julian not having been taken into account by the man who was supposed to love him the most. On the one hand, you said that even though you admit that Yoko is despicable as a person, you don't think she was able to have planned John's murder.

@killingracists You feel a bit more strongly about this than me I think. BTW sorry about the grammar on the other reply, I wrote it in a hurry. You might be right, I don't actually like Yoko Ono at all but I find John Lennon as an innocent victim hard to swallow. The way he treated his first wife and son was appalling. Perhaps he should have acted like a man a little more, including the writing of his will. Real shame he got shot though. And no I don't think Yoko did that, Chapman was a nutter.

@robertfoy100 And btw, you are contradicting yourself when trying to prove that Yoko would not dominate John, since you have admitted that most of the songs in DF are Yoko's

[killingracists]

@robertfoy100 Why? because of JOHN; when I said that she knew what the audience wanted to hear, I was making reference of John's comments on tv, she usually played a low profile when being in public with John not to appear before everyone's eyes as a manipulative bitch. She knew what she wanted from the very begining, and as I said before, she pulled the strings of her puppet just straight from the shadows.

[robertfoy100]

@killingracists If she knew the audience only wanted to hear John, why were her songs being all over Double Fantasy?

[killingracists]

@robertfoy100 That's a very puerile analysis; Yoko knew that the one who the audience wanted to hear was John not her, besides, the best way to pull the cords of a puppet is behind the curtains!

@killingracists I'm not saying Yoko had anything to do with John's death but it seems weird that MDC traveled around the world on a lowly night watchman's salary and that he hooked up with a Japanese woman travel agent. It was written in a few of John's bio's that Yoko would stay up all night on the phone to her people in Japan. I do believe she snitched on Paul McCartney and that is why he was arrested in Japan for having pot in his bags in early 1980.

[robertfoy100]

Even though Yoko is not an easy person to like and may well have been manipulative, I always find the notion that she completely dominated John difficult to believe. In all the interviews with them together he does all the talking and in a long one with Andy Peebles in 1980 for Radio One (you can find it here on Youtube), he even interrupts her repeatedly. That was fine with me as it was him I was interested in listening to, but it doesn't suggest she dominated him..

@CCRider100 Agreed completely. Both John and Heath were both great in their own unique ways. But 'Double Fantasy' and "The Dark Knight" were just waaaaaay OVERRATED and OVERBLOWN due to their sudden tragic deaths. The media helped made these projects like this.
