It's impossible not to be aware of The Beatles in 1966. They were everywere; on the radio, in the newspapers, two big movies etc. Not to know of the existensen of the group you have to live far away on an island. Why had Yoko Ono moved from New York to Swinging London? Because it was the center of music, fashion, art etc in 1966. And Beatles were the most important part of the movement. Of course she knew about The Beatles.
The not knowing about The Beatles part of her facade has always been one of the more mystifying elements of her place in their history. The Beatles literally were the infancy of "viral" in the 60's. Everybody knew who they were in the English speaking world.
How could Yoko Ono have possibly never heard of the Beatles? She attended Juilliard in NYC and studied musical composition and piano. Furthermore, she was living in New York when the Beatles played the Ed Sullivan show
@@christinelee4780Money Talks.. I’ve heard her sing and have reviewed her “art” as well. YOKO has zero talent as an artist, poet, or singer. In addition, she is very unattractive.. I’ve never understood why John went in that direction..
Sorry. I love the Beatles. But I think that Yoko saw John 🎉lennon as a huge opportunity to promote herself and have great wealth. The way she treated Julian Lennon shows that.
Agree, she planned from the start to "catch" somebody famous and rich - and soon concentrated on The Beatles. First try was Paul, then she fixed John. All actions were made with the goal to split the band eventually and have John and his influence for her alone.
@@gerhardprasent3358 Tony Bramwells Book and the part on how he was given the task by John to get rid of the " nutter " who turned up every day at Apple is essential reading. I think it is an accurate from someone in the inner circle. It was all planned.
Agreed. If you read the books written by their tarot reader and assistant, you see just hiw much she resented John's fame and how she was attached to HIS fame.
Yes, She Was a Plotting Social Climber, and that's also why she told John to leave with May Pang. Yoko had Met Hillary Clinton, and they had an Intimate affair for 18 months. And if that doesn't gross you out, Nothing will.
When John first brought Yoko into the studio the other three Beatles should’ve responded by inviting guests of their own. George: Fellas, this is my neighbor Ed Franklin. He’s an insurance salesman who enjoys chainsmoking cigars. Ed will be joining us in the studio from now on. I hope his presence doesn’t adversely affect our chemistry.
NO?!!! THE STUDIO DIRRECTOR M U S T & SHOULD OF HAVE HAD, A HOUSE RULE, STRICTLY SILENCE! NO OTHERS ALLOWED, TO BE IN RECORDIND SESSIONS, OTHER THAN THE SINGERS - INSTRUMENT PLAYERS - OR PEOPLE RELATED TO THE MUSICS, THAT WAS IN RECORDING??! THAT'S JUST F A I R!!
@@sureshmukhi2316 Exactly. Linda and her lawyer family did more to damage the delicate financial quagmire that led to the Beatles breakup than Yoko did. She and her family were advising Paul against everything the other three Beatles were on board for, even if it was the despicable Allen Klein. Point is, once the trust was destroyed by Paul and his in-laws, there was no going back. And even after all that, if Paul didn't sue them for dissolution, The Beatles would still have continued on as a group, albeit with Klein for a few more years. The Eastmans were surely advising Paul to go the dissolution route and go his own way. For that, Paul knows where the guilt rests.
I don't know if you could say she actually broke them up, but it SURE didn't help. John was an idiot for bringing her in & the others had every right to be resentful & pissed. She simply did not belong there, period!!! Myself, I would've told John, she goes or I go!!!!! And I would've made good on my threat. There's no way I would've tolerated that. She WAS an INTRUSION!!!!
And from what you see in the Let it be documentary, she just sat there and did absolutely nothing all day. After she met and married John it seems like she did nothing with her life except living off of John's money. She seems like a phony to me, I mean that so called art that she did was total bullcrap and after she married John she did not continue to any type of art all.
I was about to use that same phrase. "She didn't help". Yoko was selfish about it. She had her own agenda and didn't care whether or not she was a distraction. Paul gets a lot of blame but George reacted with greater negativity.
George Harrison and Ringo Starr had more right to be pissed as their wives (Pattie Boyd and Maureen Starkey, respectively) knew not to interfere with recording sessions
Then neither did Linda. Watch the doc Get Back. Linda is there as much as Yoko, pouting, turtle-doving, bringing her kids there all over Ringo's drum set, getting pregnant in a matter of weeks of it all, inserting her parents law firm into their finances;... she was the groupie photographer of all the rock stars as she inched her way to a Beatle. So seriously, if you're going to throw stones, please make sure you throw them fairly, right?
@@pandaman1968 I have watched the documentary a couple of times and Linda is not there every single day like Yoko and she is not sitting right next to Paul like Yoko was with John. I can't say how many times Pauls kids were there because it is all edited. As far as Linda being a groupie it is all a matter of speculation. It seems that she did have affairs with men. It seems that when woman do that they are considered groupies or whores, but when men do the same thing then they are cool.
In early 1968, something drastic happened to the way John felt towards The Beatles and Paul more specifically. Up until this point, John was the most the most "into The Beatles" Beatle. There are quotes from late '67 where John talks about how only the other Beatles matter, only they understand him, his wife complained that he never wanted to go anywhere without the other Beatles, and he wanted them to buy a small island to live all together (in connected houses!). I suspect it had something to do with Paul choosing to leave India early to spend time with (then fiancé) Jane Asher. And then Paul went out of his way to see Linda on Paul and John's trip to New York together. I think John started to worry that Paul didn't need him and would abandon him eventually. John was very open about his insecurities stemming from not being wanted by his parents. After this, John went full-on with insisting on having Yoko sit next to him during sessions. I think he was hoping to get a rise out of Paul, hoping that Paul would fight for him. When Paul (wanting to avoid direct conflict, more or less) capitulated to the situation, I think John took it as further proof that Paul didn't "really" care about him. Something that really sticks out to me is an incident that John talked about after the Beatles break up. He recalled the time Paul left the lyrics for "Elanor Rigby" with John AND a group of other people to help him with ideas. It wounded John so much that Paul didn't single him out as his special guy, and the pain of the (relatively benign) event was still on John's mind five years later as an example of how much Paul could hurt him.
I agree with George Harrison. She didn’t break them up, but she was a BIG part of it. Also the story of how their relationship started is complete myth. Tony Bramwells book tells a different story that makes a lot more sense. Also it should be noted, she tried to glob onto the stones before the Beatles. She was in a mental hospital before she invaded England. Of coarse she continues to be litigious against anyone who tries to tell the truth. But someday the truth will come out.
I recal one thing you did not mention about those times with the Beatles. Yoko had apparently suggested a change in the name of the band to Yoko and the Plastic Onos! This may have been just rumour, but I do remember a song from John's solo album in which Yoko was singing, if you can call caterwauling singing! Her high-pitched screeches hit bad chords in my ears! It was the only time I listened to that song, and I ended the listening session before the song even got through the first verse and chorus! It was that bad! I remember thinking "How is it that John Lennon cannot hear how terrible Yoko is as a singer?" They say "Love is Blind!" But it appears as though it is deaf as well!
After the 1st Yoko rehearsal, George should've told the other two: "Bring your wife, girlfriend - or anyone else you'd like to have in the studio/rehearsal space while we're working from now on". Why not?
She's not the sole reason, John enabled her. No John, no Yoko. It was complete disrespect for his fellow bandmates by insisting on her presence. Everyone has their private lives apart from the group, however you want to conduct it is up to you, it's no one's business. But it's a different matter when you're talking about your professional life, then it becomes the band's business. You've got to honor that, everyone else did except for John.
@christopherkeller7734 maybe so, she did after all choose the woman that she wanted John to have an affair with, trying to exert her control even when it came to who he slept with.
She was a menace. An unmitigated menace to both John and the Beatles. The question is…who will die first, Paul or Yoko? I know who I’m pulling for. (Thanks for keeping the always annoying Howard Stern to a minimum.)
I have to laugh when Paul says that John's "not stupid." There's intelligence but there’s also emotional intelligence. It's possible to be mentally gifted but also lacking in emotional maturity.
Gee, you make it sound like the others were stable and John was not. Let's talk about the emotional maturity of the band as a whole. John was abandoned by both his parents, physically and emotionally, and raised by a woman who probably emotionally abused him until his twenties. Paul lost his mother at an early age and I'm not sure how emotionally available his father was after that. George was essentially the most stable and yet, he was the one who never seemed to be happy and appeared that a jealous nature overrode his other positive qualities, and Richie . . . nearly died as a child and spent most of his childhood in and out of hospitals and never fit in because of it, so he relied on humor to pave his way into relationships, which is a clear sign of disfunction - the "sad" happy clown (see Robin Williams and any other comedian who hid his depression behind the laughter). Oh, and not to mention they attained worldwide fame by the time the youngest of them was barely twenty years old -- hardly a fully grown adult capable of dealing with that kind of fame. Should I go on or does this paint a clear picture of the 4 of them and their emotional maturity?
Being from a rich and privileged family herself I don’t think Yoko understood she had to step back to let John do his job efficiently. Either way The Beatles breakup had many reasons.
John's who wanted to be the one to break up the Beatles before someone else did. It was his ego wanting to just break it all apart before being left again by someone beating him to it (like his Dad and Mum). But he was also a coward, so he just allowed Yoko to create chaos and facilitate what he wasn't strong enough or brave enough to do on his own. Everyone knew it... Paul finally had enough and called everyone on the bullshit. Yoko, Klein, mopey George, all of it.
One of Yoko`s early pieces of artwork was a board and the viewer was invited to hammer a nail into it. I wonder if when Yoko did this she accidentally hit her thumb, and so her unique singing style was born.
The Beatles had an “unwritten policy” in the recording studio. ONLY the four 4️⃣ Beatles - NO SPOUSES or GIRLFRIENDS. Lennon thought he and Yoko were ABOVE ⬆️ this policy. John made this decision. Still to call Yoko the sole reason the Beatles split is silly.
But remember, Yoko had to sign off on the movie and she made sure the scenes showed her in a favorable light. I will add, I never liked groupie Linda either.
John never received the kind of love & nurturing that a mother provides. John was raised by his aunt, and had no father figure in his life. Consequently John, the ultimate simp, was easy pickings for Yoko. John would have fallen for the first “interesting” woman he met. Yoko pressed all the right buttons - foreign, offbeat, artist (I say that loosely). No woman would have stuck to him like glue like she did, and no man would have allowed that, unless there was a psychological predisposition based on the intense need to feel “fulfilled” by another. John did cheat on Yoko and in my estimation John & Yoko would have remained married had John not been murdered, and would have had a marriage of convenience.
Yoko did not break the Beatles but helped to complete the separation. She instigated John to leave the group he told Paul 'I think you're daft. I want a divorce.'
Really? Who cares? This topic has all been laid out in interviews all over UA-cam at this point. 1. Per Paul, John broke up the Beatles because he "found his love (muse)" in a strong woman (Yoko). and announced he was leaving the group. 2. Lennon brought Yoko into the rehearsals without asking his band mates first. 3. Lennon reportedly had "run ins" with several band members over many issues. 4. The Four Boys from Liverpool were growing up, had their own ideas about what the future should hold, partners/wives/children - and the financial issues at Apple Records - not to mention their new management. 5. The End of an Era: It was also the end of the 60s and the beginning of a new era. Perhaps, the group got it right and disbanded at the right time. We will never know. What we do know is the George Harrison's and John Lennon's music lives on after their passing, and so will Paul's and Ringo's. Anyone who was young at that time remembers the era they ushered in, and how they evolved throughout the decade. They cast a light on the industry that remains today, and we should thank them for it.
Linda and her lawyer family did more to damage the delicate financial quagmire that led to the Beatles breakup than Yoko did by sticking their noses into his business. She and her family were advising Paul against everything the other three Beatles were on board for, even if it was the despicable Allen Klein. Point is, once the trust was destroyed by Paul and his in-laws, there was no going back. And even after all that, if Paul didn't sue them for dissolution, The Beatles would still have continued on as a group, albeit with Klein for a few more years. Paul knows this, and that's where the true guilt rides.
Exactly, he's responsible for pushing her into the spotlight. When John told her "hey Yoko, why don't you come down with me to the studio and sit in on the recording" she could have easily responded "hmmm, thanks for the invite but I really don't think that's a great idea." Most people would've said or thought something like that yet she didn't.
She didn't end The Beatles in any way. She was just something added to the already imploding band. She's a scapegoat. She's also an american inteligence asset. Her job was to keep tabs on subversive John Lennon. But that's another conversation all together
IN THE VEERY FIRST PLACE? ? ? SHE HAD NO SAYING, ABOUT ANYTHING?? IMAGINE, WHEN ALL OF THE MUSICIAN'S FRIENDS WOUD STRONGLY INFECT THE MUSICAL GROUPS?? SHE MAY HAVE AN OPINION, BUT THAT'S AS FAR THAT GOES! YOKO MADE A HUGE BRAIN WASH, TO THE BAND MEMBERS, TO THE FANS AND TO THE MUSICAL OFFICIALS?!!! WHY DIDN'T CERTAIN PEOPLE DO, THE SAME THTING, AGAINST HER? OR TELL HER, SHUT UP DARLING, STAY OUT OF THE MUSIC BUSINESS? OR GET ABCK, WHERE YOU CAME FROM???!!
I just don't get all this never ending hatred. I know part of it is misogyny. Part of it is xenophobia. Why all these fanboys can't accept that the Beatles broke up because they just didn't get along at the time. It's them not her. They wanted to do different stuff. All of them. Even Ringo had a solo career. It's just a huge waste of negative energy to keep pumping this garbage out.
Nonsense. She was a wedge between John and the others. Paul said he never had a private conversation with John after she arrived. She was the reason Allen Klein got involved and George felt pushed aside by her. The Beatles themselves said she was a huge problem. Even later, she had calls rerouted to the office to keep friends away from John. The only reason they speak more kindly of her now is she continues to be a thorn in their sides and they can’t get anything done without her cooperation.
She wanted to be a Band Member but silly pictures and 'art works' were not part of the Job Description. Pushy Asian Drug addict was a flop even with her boney bum.

Technically Meghan Markle was shades of Yoko Ono and if really want to get into a mindfuck, look up Wallis Simpson. . .
John Lennon broke up the Beatles.
That's right ... he made The Beatles and it was his decision to break The Beatles ......
More like...John Lennon's abusing drugs broke up the Beatles.
JOHN = D I D N' T = BREAK UP THE BEATLES, OF HIS OWN WILL / DECISION! YOKO MADE A HUGE BRAIN WASH, ON JOHN!
@@Tom-hk6ubah so that’s the narrative these days, is it? So it’s on to shit on your own ‘creation’ as long as you created it.
John “allowed” Yoko to interfere with the Beatles. 👍
I don’t like her artwork, but the step ladder piece sounds cool.
Lennon was looking for an excuse to break up the Beatles. He liked being in a band with all the benefits but as time went on it became a job.
I wish MDC could of reloaded
Don't wish that kind of wish. that kind of karma is bad, really bad.
Really? Who cares? This topic has all been laid out in interviews all over UA-cam at this point. 1. Per Paul, John broke up the Beatles because he "found his love (muse)" in a strong woman (Yoko). and announced he was leaving the group. 2. Lennon brought Yoko into the rehearsals without asking his band mates first. 3. Lennon reportedly had "run ins" with several band members over many issues. 4. The Four Boys from Liverpool were growing up, had their own ideas about what the future should hold, partners/wives/children - and the financial issues at Apple Records - not to mention their new management. 5. The End of an Era: It was also the end of the 60s and the beginning of a new era. Perhaps, the group got it right and disbanded at the right time. We will never know. What we do know is the George Harrison's and John Lennon's music lives on after their passing, and so will Paul's and Ringo's. Anyone who was young at that time remembers the era they ushered in, and how they evolved throughout the decade. They cast a light on the industry that remains today, and we should thank them for it.
Linda and her lawyer family did more to damage the delicate financial quagmire that led to the Beatles breakup than Yoko did by sticking their noses into his business. She and her family were advising Paul against everything the other three Beatles were on board for, even if it was the despicable Allen Klein. Point is, once the trust was destroyed by Paul and his in-laws, there was no going back. And even after all that, if Paul didn't sue them for dissolution, The Beatles would still have continued on as a group, albeit with Klein for a few more years. Paul knows this, and that's where the true guilt rides.
Damon Albarn of Blur said his dad introduced John to Yoko,
The fact that everybody hates Yoko and almost nobody mentions Lennon's accountability speaks volumes on the kind of person you are...
Exactly, he's responsible for pushing her into the spotlight. When John told her "hey Yoko, why don't you come down with me to the studio and sit in on the recording" she could have easily responded "hmmm, thanks for the invite but I really don't think that's a great idea." Most people would've said or thought something like that yet she didn't.
@chrisallen8250 way to double down on the stupid argument
she put a bed in the recording studio for her , everyone hates her
Yes. Even Mother Teresa said she wanted to kill her.
A lot of stuff in Goldman's books are disputed by many. Otherwise good vid
Goldmans book is a joke. Lennon, McCartney, Ringo and Harrison all said the book was rubbish.
She didn't end The Beatles in any way. She was just something added to the already imploding band. She's a scapegoat. She's also an american inteligence asset. Her job was to keep tabs on subversive John Lennon. But that's another conversation all together
Yeah sure and paul died in 66, then yoko faul and the american intelligence were already working on 9/11, you got it all pal
@@lucasratti Don't forget the messages of flat earth in the cover of the white album
I can do without her
IN THE VEERY FIRST PLACE? ? ? SHE HAD NO SAYING, ABOUT ANYTHING?? IMAGINE, WHEN ALL OF THE MUSICIAN'S FRIENDS WOUD STRONGLY INFECT THE MUSICAL GROUPS?? SHE MAY HAVE AN OPINION, BUT THAT'S AS FAR THAT GOES! YOKO MADE A HUGE BRAIN WASH, TO THE BAND MEMBERS, TO THE FANS AND TO THE MUSICAL OFFICIALS?!!! WHY DIDN'T CERTAIN PEOPLE DO, THE SAME THTING, AGAINST HER? OR TELL HER, SHUT UP DARLING, STAY OUT OF THE MUSIC BUSINESS? OR GET ABCK, WHERE YOU CAME FROM???!!
Yoko poky said i love the beatles want to marry john lennon. Dont fort linda wanted lennon first not paul too that could have broke them up
What?
And Yoko went after Paul first.
Drugs and the mindset of being on drugs broke up the Beatles.
Not.
@ only a druggie would say no.
I just don't get all this never ending hatred. I know part of it is misogyny. Part of it is xenophobia. Why all these fanboys can't accept that the Beatles broke up because they just didn't get along at the time. It's them not her. They wanted to do different stuff. All of them. Even Ringo had a solo career. It's just a huge waste of negative energy to keep pumping this garbage out.
No she had nothing to do with it. The Beatles broke the Beatles up.
You’re right, but I’m sure her sitting in on all of their recording sessions from 1968 onwards didn’t help 😑
Nonsense. She was a wedge between John and the others. Paul said he never had a private conversation with John after she arrived. She was the reason Allen Klein got involved and George felt pushed aside by her. The Beatles themselves said she was a huge problem. Even later, she had calls rerouted to the office to keep friends away from John. The only reason they speak more kindly of her now is she continues to be a thorn in their sides and they can’t get anything done without her cooperation.
@@joegordon2915 I agree
She wanted to be a Band Member but silly pictures and 'art works' were not part of the Job Description. Pushy Asian Drug addict was a flop even with her boney bum.
Still picking on Yoko.🙄🙄
look john lennon was the beatles he was entitled to have his wife at the rehearsals studio.
I can't think if a single job where every day is take your girlfriend to work day.
